== Shutdown== |
|||
Blockate was put under review by Roblox administrators on the 18th of September, 2019, however no reason or explanation was given. This is known as the September 18th shutdown. |
|||
Blockate came back on September 30th, 2019, which lead to the Halloween Event Submissions to be extended to the 15th of October. |

==Speculations and Theories== |
|||
Many users suggested that Blockate was shut down for being a copy of [[Blocklr]] or for just being too similar to Roblox, but these claims were radical and not very credible. This is not a good suggestion because the owner of [[Blocklr]] said he didn't care about others copying his idea. |
|||
Another theory is that Blockate's head developer, [[Fewkz]], had broke Roblox terms of service and got Blockate shut down; However this theory was also not very credible. [[Fewkz]] also didn't get banned in this period. |
|||
The most credible and believable theory is that the player-base has caused the shutdown, with many users thinking they were funny by building "items" that were against Roblox ToS, or more likely, the use of Discord Links. |
|||
Another theory is that it was shut down because of a popular game using copyrighted material from the Pokemon Franchise, although it was debunked. |
|||
According to Twitter, the Blockate team were trying to “'''Make The Game Playable Again'''”. |
|||
What really put it under review was that Roblox found off-site links in worlds (Discord, Twitter etc.) and it was fixed due to fox proving that it wasn't him and he would put more moderation on the game. |
|||
Blockate became public again on September 30th, 2019. |
