CHAPTER 1: How it started...


Roblox started on the day many famous websites were born, even youtube. Which was in 2005, during that time, roblox slowly got visitors. 5 days after the opening, It was estimated to have only 300 People. As it slowly increased it's population, adults started to join the ROBLOX Community. Crossroads was then made by the starter, ROBLOX, The very first Roblox Account, shared by all admins. No one knows if moderators can use it though. When news shared to the growing website, people started to meet other people in that place. That made everyone make their own places for their friends. That is how Miked's Paintball went out. After a huge amount of lag is detected, Roblox removes the login feature of seeing the newest users to roblox. More and more places were made, but not all is joy...


CHAPTER 2: Exploiters and Hackers


In 2006,when roblox was having a great time, an rogue hacker appeared...You guessed it, 1x1x1. He started exploiting crossroads, making him admin and banning people. Until then clockwork heard that news and banned 1x1x1 account deletion. But hes not stopped yet. He made the account more people know about: 1x1x1x1, He then hacked more games and more stuff. Clockwork then banned him again. But thats not all, 1x1x1x1 made a hundred more accounts, all of them are banned. Then they came out with IP Banning. They IP Banned 1x1x1x1 on his last alt. No one knows what it is though. In the process more hackers came. Then the spammers. Then rumors and horrible stuff went through roblox. More amounts of people joined roblox, rarely are hackers.


CHAPTER 3: The Fame and The Celebrations


After the hackers were big at large but rarely hack, Some non-admin veterans made some very nice places, Including Miked's Paintball and DrewsomeB's Heli Wars. It made over 100,000 visits, because in 2006, The best stuff happend: 1,000,000 Robloxians and in the same year: 2,000,000 Robloxians! That made Heli Wars more than 500,000. At the end of 2006, Roblox came out with a new Welcome to Roblox video for Youtube. About 2 million people saw it, most of them came to roblox and joined!


CHAPTER 4: Spammers!


How did spam start? Hardly anyone even remmembers: The beginning of 2007 around new years, Jaredvaldez2 joined. He was first a normal robloxian. Then he made a town with tens of terrain baseplates. All different colors. Then his mind went wrong. He made Robux Cheating Spams, where they say an admin told them when they really didn't tell how to get over 100,000 Robux. Don't fall for robux tricks! Then jared makes a new place...Or does he now? He made a brick and put a decal on it of a new place. Until then people came and it was the same place as the first. It tricked and pissed off so many people, that its over 1,000,000. Then it spread out and tricked so many people, usually banning or reminding them or warning them, made a riot of over 100,000 Robloxians wanting to destroy spam. No one knew it was him until 2011. From that, a million people reported jared. That caught the admins's and moderators's eyes. They then banned Jared. His place is now Happy Home and a Content Deleted place.


CHAPTER 5: 2008 Lag


About 100,000 People quit from lag in 2008. But its not much compared to 4,000,000 People in roblox. Although that, a new roblox video was made. More and more people came. More hacks, more patches, then about 1,000,000 Quit in the mid-2008.At least there was 6,000,000 People at that time. Admins then removed an demanded-to-be-back RS (Roblox Studio) Feature: User Meshes. Including many shadows removed, many meshes not working, and a few more. It was removed at the end of 2008, thats how 2008 was the laggiest year of roblox.


CHAPTER 6: 2009's ADs


In 2009, its where i joined, the population of roblox hit 7,900,000. Then larger chunks of robloxians came. Every 25 minutes up to 300 People join. In the mid-2009, Roblox theme ADs were made. (Im sorry, i don't know exactly how User-made ADs came.) Then they were off the charts, but in 2007, Many copied ADs from the most hilarious ADs still being copied now, Although that, its still very nice. Then ROBLOX Came out with the account setting "Set Theme". Thats when the Roblox City Theme came out. Most people still used the original, only 1,000,000 used it in 2009.


CHAPTER 7: When OBC was made


In 2010, During a admin lunch break in real life, Builderman and a few other admins talked about builders club. Builderman then wanted to make loyal VIP Robloxians, but how did they? They made a new, more expensive BC: Obc! Bonus gear, 100 Places and Groups, and even the unlocked option for Obc Theme! That caught everyone's eyes. People then brought OBC. Only 400 did though. But then more did...


FINAL CHAPTER (Chapter 8): BC Games and Now (Unless your reading this in 2012 or more in the future)

Now about 100,000 People are OBC. After roblox hit one of the biggest celebrations: 10,000,000 People, Alot of them became BC, TBC, and OBC. But then, In the mid-2011, an horrible update happend: BC Games. It ruined the whole "Free Games" Part of Roblox. Robloxians were and still are demanding BC Games to be a thread. But although that, theres under 100 BC Games. Then it is now, me writing this book.

I see tons of misinformation, roblox was thought up in 1996 but they didn't have the materials or money to make it back then, and 1x1x1x1 was part of a joke telamon made about the "Dreaded 1x1x1x1 brick".

Good, but There are 2 errors Found here

"But then, In the mid-2011, an horrible update happend: BC Games. It ruined the whole "Free Games" Part of Roblox."

BC Games were made in the middle of Early-2011 and Late-2010 dude.

"In 2006,when roblox was having a great time, an rogue hacker appeared...You guessed it, 1x1x1"

"He then hacked more games and more stuff."

1. 1x1x1x1 isn't exactly real, He was just a joke from Telamon

2. He just exploited games, not "more stuff" (See MrDoomBringer's thread in RT)
