The Blockheads Forums were the official forums of The Blockheads. They were owned and run by David Frampton, the developer of the game. They opened on November 22, 2012.
As of October 24, 2019, the forums had 29,406 members who, in total, had made about 687,417 posts and about 31,938 topics.
The forums were divided into 12 main sections: News & Announcements, General Discussion, Multiplayer, Pictures, Suggestions, Questions, Tips & Guides, Bugs & Glitches, Bugs & Glitches: Android, Off-Topic, Meta, and Forum Games. Furthermore, the Off-Topic section had a Technology subcategory for discussing technology. There were also 3 additional categories for Beta Testers, which were respectively named: iOS Beta 1.7 - General Discussion, Android Beta 1.7 General, and Android Beta 1.7 - Bug Reports.
The Blockheads Forums were originally run on vBulletin, later moved to Discourse on which they remained until they were closed. The forums were hosted by Nimbus Hosting Ltd.
