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.
