I'll give you a somewhat lengthy biography to my five year journey of ROBLOX.
I'll make it as short as possible. Have decent replies please. Take a few paragraphs at a time and take a break.
~Beginning of My Account~
At first I was going to join ROBLOX in 2008, but since my parents at the time were scared that downloading would be a virus, I could not do it. Then the day I saw ROBLOX again I just had to, it was a good choice for me and the fact I got bored of Habbo.
~June 1st, 2010 - May 31st, 2011~
At first I found my first friend sam100, at an unknown popular game, surprising it was a nice team battle game which was actually a FEAR base later on. Then I went to MAD WARS or was at the time called Heli Wars by loleris and continued playing with new people and guests on ROBLOX for awhile. It was really nice to find people to build with and who were active. Around the end of June-July 2010 I was going to the contest pages then stumbled upon the forums. At this time I didn't notice anything wrong and a lot did help me forum correctly. People like DrZap and MrZom were very helpful with advice to show me how foruming works and what rules are there ect. After that it was pretty swell using the Forums as a guide to help me in events on ROBLOX and a social center. Then I was going to post my first year on ROBLOX thread. Most of the time you think they would act superior, but even for these users, I believe the gap was not as large as it is today, because 2007ers foruming at the time were only 3-4 years older than 2010ers.

As soon as I posted my 1 year veteran thread. I noticed that the people replied were friends and so called "famous" users. After a while they respected me extremely whether in joyful response or just stern respect, yet I still try to lower the respect to find new players to meet too and act humble rather than superior. After the halloween event. I noticed the community was starting to dip. More people with "troll" responses, I used some like "umad","ujelly" , ect. Although I used these similar jokes (now considered memes) in silly threads where no one gets angry, I always noticed people insult users due to their post count or their grammar on a post, I was thankful my friends helped me with my post counts and grammar but this isn't right. After New Year's I was going to try and make on-topic posts on RT, even if I would fail at bringing the community away from this. Sadly, RT has become an off-topic zone.
During February I held my B-Day on ROBLOX, it was really nice, I thank Gaomon94, Fuutuu, and GruntyThe1AndOnly for being my friends in 2012. After a few months I knew ROBLOX was going down for sure. The April Fools Day Attack was probably all that was needed to make me leave ROBLOX and just forum. If their security is this bad, I can't really enjoy anything anymore. This game will be a freebie of hats and items on here for future events to come. As this was my opinion years ago I still stand firm by this ideology due to the fact that Moded has done most of the hard work on finding exploits that cause this and ROBLOX doesn't do much about it themselves.
Though RT was okay, it still was in the dumps before the summer and just became a pot of people who think they are the best, but in reality they are not.

I post my new thread, the 2nd veteran year on ROBLOX. Another "return" for me and still people knew who I was and were glad about me staying a bit longer. I revisited my friends and such and forumed. During this time there were horrible updates and made new players and people who joined ROBLOX a year ago to leave, I was surprised how bad the staff went. I miss my old RTer pals on here who have quit these days. However I didn't stop meeting some great developers and builders. At this point most of my friends "grew up" but still played ROBLOX and developed great games for others to play on.
~June 1st, 2013 - May 31st, 2014~
Starting my 3rd year, was very short yet I met Clonetrooper1019 and Gl0in2 and just testing their games out or playing them for fun, realizing ROBLOX games were getting more advanced I tried to make some games throughout this time and they just fell flat.
Though around this time the failures of my developing made me more aware of how tough it is to work with scripts and ideas to make people participate. Also this was the time All Things ROBLOX started to become the new ROBLOX Talk and how I rarely forum on this sub-forum compared to ATR. Basically quitting RT and favoring ATR, even though that happened I met some forumers that are much younger by join date but it didn't matter since they respected me and I respected them. Many more RTers and ATRers got deleted because of very stupid mistakes they have done and they had to pay the price.
~June 1st, 2014 - May 31st, 2015~
Starting on the 4th year, nothing much happened during this time, as ROBLOX for me was a "lost cause" and got extremely bored of it, I usually talk to NINJAKID09 who is now Vorlias, checking up on his RPG Progress until he placed it on hiatus. Moded and I at this point were a bit more negotiable and wanted to plan something big, which was a card game, sadly because of his studies and mine, we couldn't do it at all and felt kind of lost. At that point, I just went on Steam and started to trade with nothing.
Sure it was hard to barely have anything on Steam to trade, but I felt like I was a LMaDer when I became very successful and increasing my success today when I traded very high tier items on TF2 and CS:GO.
~June 1st, 2015 - May 31st, 2016?~
When I celebrated my 5th year, it was special, some people remembered some were surprised. I met many people again that I've barely talked to long ago and felt there was a need for change. Starting June 3rd, I began to start up my Card Game dreams with Blox Cards, seems juvenile as a placeholder name, but it stuck with me and I feel happy to start designing cards and having people help me out either for free or by a means of royalty / deals.
Now that I am studying some Lua and trying to build this new game, I feel like I was when I joined ROBLOX, happy and joyful with what it's bringing me now.
