Allow me to clear things up. Mid-way 2007 Roblox created a developer post titled "Roblox bought by Google". You can find this here:
http://community.roblox.com/archives/105
It was posted on April 1st, 2007 - This is an April Fools Joke.
The reason is it getting sudden attention now is Telamon (Shedletsky) posted on Twitter "Google buys ROBLOX for 380M", a couple of hours ago. This automatically led people to believe this is real, and that Roblox would soon be called "Goobloks."
A user by the name of "KPudlo" asked Telamon on Twitter "Wait, google bought us back in 2007??". Telamon replied " yeah but then they sold us to microsoft for two billion in 2009."
Both are untrue. He is playing with you, it is all a joke.
Please, Stop asking if it is true. it is not. |

| Well, I wouldn't call them idiots. Just, that they are seeing this for the first time - so it is entirely confusing to them. |

Everyone is not an idiot. ._.
People are just gullible and uninformed. It's a bad combination. |

For the love of Jegus...
I personally did not find this amusing. Most likely because I have lost my sense of humor all of a sudden. D= |

@Cool
They usually refer to that as 'mini-modding'
Though, that's only when you're not a mod, and you're enforcing the ToS. |

| lol, I remember the prank back in 2007. I laughed because Roblox at the specific time was not worth anything near 380m, nor is it worth anything even NEAR ONE HUNDRED MILLION as of current. |
