| Hi, I have a great idea for all players of Roblox. This would be a game called Retroblox. There will be different versions like Retroblox 2005, Retroblox 2008, Retroblox 2011/2012, etc. People can play these games just like present day Roblox, but it takes you back to a time when some updates and feature are not here yet. These game would carry over your current username, but you start out with a fresh character from that time. You can make places but you have to make them using models, decals and scripting from that time period and earlier. And when you are on present Roblox, you can view and play Retroblox games, but they only play in Retroblox player from that version. I think the only issues would have to do with hacking. That is something that would have to be worked out. |

| What's the point of creating another ROBLOX back to 08 or 06 simply because you dislike this one? If you don't like the game so much why play it? |

| I never said I disliked present day Roblox. The idea is for memories and just a change. I think it would not be as big a regular Roblox, but it would exist for fun, and not to make big major games or anything like that. |

| It may happen depending on how many resources it costs, and whether or not the old builds are still available. |

| I honestly see no point in it. Simply saying "for memories" or "cause I want to" doesn't help. You're basically asking ROBLOX to make another site with the reverted Roblox by using an Update history from 2008. If not many people would play it, then what's the point in making it? |

| @science it can be implemented into the current Roblox.com by just adding Retroblox as a new tab on the left of the screen and it would take you to Roblox.com/Retroblox/games or something like that. |

| Yeah, but what if it becomes popular? They will make MORE money by doing that. They could even make new hats and clothes for the Retroblox game! |

| Yeah but some people like it that way. Roblox for me was best in 2011, 2012 and some of 2013. |

"They could even make new hats and clothes for the Retroblox game!" This actually strikes me as a pretty bad idea to be honest, though it's kind of arbitrary. I can't really word it well, but excluding things from players of the current build just isn't something I would do if I were a developer. I could imagine Roblox charging you to use Retroblox (BC feature, maybe). It's up to them. |

| Well since my idea was implement Retroblox into the Roblox site just running under an older version of player and studio, they could sell the clothes, hats etc. on the regular catalog. |

"please consider the costs of running two "Roblox.com"s" Considering the fact that it wouldn't be used as intensively, meh. |

| still, having to maintain a server of games and a duplicate of a website would be very costly, for no purpose other than to satisfy people who cant see beyond their rose-tinted nostalgia shades |

| Quite possibly, the expenses of two Roblox's might cause Roblox in it's entirety to shutdown due to finances. |

| Too run two duplicates of a ROBLOX system would double it's current financial expense. Not to mention, I'm sure the 08 version might need some "08 updates". Not updates that necessarily bring the modern outlook of the player interphase, but lag updates and server updates. This costs time, and ultimately money. Even if no further changes are made to the newer ROBLOX, how do you expect them to moderate two sites with one moderation team? If they hire new ones, that's more money out of their pocket. |

| I never said there would be an entire Retroblox.com. I said that Retroblox could be a separate page accessed from the main Roblox site. It would basically be a division of the site. So like Roblox.com/games it could be Roblox.com/Retroblox/games or something like that. |
