I decided that I wanted to make a new island, because I get bored very easily when I am not faced with something to do. I want to see if anybody wanted to join me and help me build a really big island, or if I could join an island. However, I don't want to join some small island that wont pose a challenge for me. I think that is another reason that I find Skyblock boring sometimes.
You don't want to know what happened to me. I invited 3 people onto my island. One of them bought with them a level 1 beacon. I put a couple of k into improving it. One of the other two then destroyed it, and most of the island. That means that not only did I get griefed, but also someone else now probably thinks I stole it.
