For you impatient users, ROBLOX is under going a distributed denial-of-service attack. Never fear, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act does have sentences such as 1 year in jail. No one is sure which type, but one cause is unintentional (imagine when Michael Jackson died, Google slowed down). I have some answers that could be possible:

Application level floods: SUPER HIGHLY EVERY POWERFUL WORD unlikely, but could explain the chat.

Slow Read attack: causing the website slowing down

Distributed Denial of Service: Possibility, but not certain. Read more to make sure you're safe.

Unintentional: (read above)

In the event of a distributed attack I advise you not to play ROBLOX or download anything that may look like a Trojan at this time, as it could be a zombie bot willing to take over your PC. If there's a wizard (that long piece of words every time you download software), read it carefully. If it mentions weird names as a download, get off of the wizard.

Also, if it's any others, try black holing (send the attacker's attack in a "black hole"), if you see a signature, try intrusion prevention systems (also, it's better if this controls the black hole), using a firewall (if it's simple), try different switches, use routers (similar to the switches), or upstream filtering.

If you have any thing to say, please say it in the comments (please, popular people, say something).

Long, please don't spam if you're talking about the fruit. If you want to say something about the computer, I'm sure they're affected as well. Linux and other platforms still are computers that have weak defense against this.

Linking, I know it's exciting to see you, but this is the community for the attack. I'm willing to help ROBLOX, so, I can only say, happy to see you and make sure you stay on topic.

Remember, a denial of service can also harm your computer (think Internet Control Message Protocol flood and the old Nuke back when we all used 95). RUDY is another, but "starves your PC" unlike other services using this..
