Hello.
    
    I played Blox City for a few months until it closed and I later returned to BrickPlanet to develop the website BrickPlanet.Trade which I still do.
    I am here to tell you that in a matter of months or maybe a year BrickPlanet will close again.
    You will lose all of the items you paid for and you will not be refunded.
    
    For me the story starts when Blox City closed. When it closed, Isaac made a number of claims designed to justify the closure.
    
    First, Isaac claimed that all profits would be used to pay corporate income tax.
    You should understand that corporation tax is only imposed on profits: the money Isaac had left over after he had paid for all the expenses of running a website.
    Blox City was a corporation in Delaware which has a tax rate of about 8% - this means that about 92% of the profit was not used to pay corporation tax.
    
    Isaac's business partner, Brennan Pfeiffer, authored a blog post with his thoughts on BrickPlanet closing. He claimed that Isaac was paying himself $3,000 a month.
    In what Brennan described as the month in BrickPlanet's history, it made a relatively small loss of under $1,300.
    And yet, when it came down to BrickPlanet closing, Isaac claimed $3,500 in chargebacks was enough to wipe out an entire year of profit. In fact, he went further, claiming he was left with $50.
    
    If you believe that Isaac was left with $50 in his bank account,
    how did he manage to re-open BrickPlanet a month after he claimed it was wiped out by chargebacks when he had so little money?
    A website like BrickPlanet costs hundreds of dollars a month to run and yet BrickPlanet has no investors, Isaac claimed to have no job or money in his bank account.
    
    After he closed Blox City, he claimed he would leave children's gaming all together, but he returned to create BrickPlanet (and close it, several times).
    After closing BrickPlanet, he claimed he was moving to California to start a new business so that when he inevitably returned to re-open BrickPlanet you would think that this time it's different:
    this time, Isaac is ready, Isaac is dedicated and Isaac is mature enough to run a business. He even registered a website called DashTrade.com to convince you. But it never operated.
    
    Just think about Isaac's character for a minute. Brennan alleged that in Blox City's short year Isaac actually hadn't been working on the software to make games possible
    until two weeks before the game client was actually released, despite promising a game client from the beginning.
    
    With the benefit of hindsight, this is obvious. What was the Blox City game client? A baseplate, some simple physics and practically nothing real value.
    He calls himself the CEO but was repeatedly unable to support anything he created.
    
    And remember: Isaac took your money, then at the end of the year he took the stuff you bought and didn't refund you.
