(posted on OT but i realized it belongs here)
2004 - Roblox site is created, nothing on it
2005 - Roblox site gets an overhaul, goes into testing. Users like "William" and such are chosen out of groups to go bug testing. Contests are regularly held between the users, and it seemed like a lot of fun.
2006 - Roblox becomes open, the community is small but EXTREMELY close knit. Basically everybody knew everybody. Games were pretty simple and there were still tons of bugs, but whatever.
2007 - Roblox's "Glory year", even most 06ers agree that 07 was the best. It was considered to be the best because it had a large, yet still tight community, great games were being made(they didn't need CFrames or fancy scripts or GUIs to be good, people appreciated simplicity back then), several MAJOR updates are introduced, like Currency, Hats, BC and other great stuff. It was amazing(I joined on this year which is why I know so much)
2008 - 2008 was great(rhyme). Shirts and Pants are introduced, simple games are still being appreciated and lots of fun was had. Also, the forums were incredible at this point of time.
2009 - On 12:01 AM on Jan 1st, 2009, roblox suddenly went into cardiac arrest. Hats were being produced out the аss(no longer making them an appreciated treat), new BCs were being introduced and roblox was apparently trying to become more 'sophistocated'. It didn't work, it only became a greed infested wasteland. Simplicity in games also were no longer ppreciated. Brickbattles were a dead sport.
2010 - Not much to say here, other than ROBLOX dies with the introduction of GUIs. Updates on the core gameplay become extremely rare, as it seems the only thing admins work on now is Hats.
2011 - Roblox is dead. |

Why is it so hard for people to face the darn truth? |

"2009 - On 12:01 AM on Jan 1st, 2009, roblox suddenly went into cardiac arrest"
I love the wording there, especially because it's true. |

"Oh god, someone has been on roblox longer than I have! He must be PGed, nobody else can be older than me!" |

I don't think Santas is pg'ed, he seems to know loads about roblox history.
Loads of people assume things too much. |

| It actually started declining mid-08, but I guess this is close enough. |

Eh, I was on the forums wayyy more than on games back in 2008 so I'm not a hugely reliable source for that.
Also, Currency Exchange shouldn't have been made. |

| I would agree 08 was good, but roblox only started going down in early 09, in the middle(May- about November) it went down much faster. |

| Not all 08ers are "great", the majority of the later 08ers were little brats. |

i think the real problem is users complaining about that kind of thing. I remember playing All Modeled games and having a blast.
@ry
Yep. |

There were still quite a few cool 08ers, mainly from early 08. 07ers aren't as tight with late 08ers than early 08ers |
