The BYOND website is now integrated with a new feature for dealing with users who you have blocked. Now, when you block a user, you will no longer be able to see any of the posts or comments they have created on the forums.
Additionally, many of the posts that had been lost when the site transitioned away from the blogs and guilds are now available in the Off-topic section of the website. If you have any posts you feel would be better off in a different section, go ahead and move them.
