Will people be able to believe it or handle it?
I think people around my age will agree Blocky is almost like a legendary hero more than a real poster to my generation. We know he's real of course, but if he was a fictional character he would shatter the suspension of disbelief.
Maybe I'm just cynical, but I think the New Blocky would cop heat like no other poster has. We already have people trying very hard to discredit the achievements of "normal" all time greats (and Blocky himself) but the immediacy of a modern poster averaging 100 "**** you's" per post would draw in all manner of boring people trying to prove he's secretly mediocre.
What do you think the effect on global sporting culture would be? Blocky was running around in a quieter time, before sportsmen were multi-million dollar stars broadcast on telly 24/7. Blocky was talked about, and if you were lucky enough to post in CW, you could go and watch him but if you posted in ICF or Pakpassion you were **** out of luck and had to read a book or something. A poster dominating to the extent Blocky did would be more in your face than Blocky himself was thanks to modern media.
Would we see the New Blocky coming? I don't know if they saw the old one coming, but someone that good would be so advanced by their mid teens they would probably get a Styleforum gig like hendrix did yeah?
Finally, would any forum with a New Bloky immediately become the best forum in the world?
Personally I suspect the only thing holding a modern Blocky from being the "biggest" poster of all time would be the relatively smaller stature of CW on the intenet. Because it's almost non-existent in continental Europe, big parts of Asia and America then maybe he wouldn't be as big as WindieWeathers or Precam. Regardless of that though I think he would be huge, but also take a very long time to become accepted as the real deal because so many would be waiting for him to fail even after 5+ years.
