| Hey guys. I just wanted to post this to let people know what they REALLY missed if they joined after 2008. No, it's not all about the round studs, classic n00b characters, and no shirts and pants. That was a fun time, but that isn't important compared to what happened in 2009. Sometime in 2009, It happened. The game I had loved for a long time came crashing down, and is still sinking in the figurative ocean of failure. Not that I don't really like how ROBLOX turned out, it's what the PLAYERS did to it. In 2009, OD'ers, Cyber bullies, 'Trolls', and all kinds of bad people came onto ROBLOX! They messed EVERYTHING up for all of us! I mean, in 2008/9, you went to Iron cafe, and what did you see? People RP'ing, talking and having fun. You go today, and you see OD'ers, 'Trolls', Cyber bullies and about 1 RP'er. Every game was messed up by these people, and I want a change. I'm sick and tired of how screwed up this game has become. 2012 had better be the year ROBLOX got better, or it will be the year hotstuff999 quit. |

| Shut up about this "old ROBLOX" garbage. I'm getting sick and tired of newbies trying to interpret what it was like in the "good ol' days", so just shut the heck up and leave the history lessons to those who know things that didn't come from idiotic rumors. |

I'm gonna have to agree with OP on this one. '08 was the best year of ROBLOX for me as well.

| Almost all the players are defensive about how great their join year was, so it's only natural that your pychological dwelling place is in 2008, when in reality the year you were in was actually quite horrible. Trust me, I know. |

Its not "failing", you just don't like change.
Notice how newer players don't think ROBLOX is falling apart. This is because they didn't experience the old ROBLOX days. And if they did, they would think it was garbage. |

| People! I want the REAL old ROBLOX back, not the fricken round studs!!! DID YOU EVEN READ MY MESSAGE? Sonic X, I am an 08'er, not a Newbie. I said that I missed the real old ROBLOX, not 'I miss the old ROBLOX round studs that I was never even around for to miss'. Guys, stop it. I want you to really read my message and understand what I mean. |

This should set you guys straight, unless Brian deletes this post for it being about Old ROBLOX in the first place, but here goes.
First of all, and this is one of the most important points I am going to make, almost everyone I see says that the year they joined in was the best year. That is because they joined in that year, and everything seemed new and exciting to them, when in reality it was less exciting for people who have been there for a long time, because most of the older players don't like drastic changes to the game. People are also very defensive about the year they joined, and like to say that it wasn't such a bad year after all, and they end up twisting the truth dramatically to make the year sound better or worse for their own advantages.
Next, though people say that some of the older years, like 2007 or 2008, were a lot better than some of the newer years, they would be wrong. In my well-studied opinion, I believe that through the years, ROBLOX has always been growing for the good. For example, in 2006, there were almost no catalog items. Only t-shirts. There were also horrible graphics and pathetic physics. In 2007, they got hats and a couple new things, as well as made great changes to the gameplay. In 2008, they started doing great things with scripting, etc. In 2009, they made Gear. In 2010, they added a lot more new stuff and edited the building a little. In 2011, they did a lot of new things too. But, most importantly, the level of player obedience remained the same. There were always rule breakers, and through the years it seems like there are more of them because there are. There are over 18 million players on this game, and there certainly isn't a moderator assigned to each player.
Also, most of the people I've seen rant about "Old ROBLOX" have been people that weren't even there in the first place. I am studied enough, as a 2007er on a 2006 account that was given to me as a gift, to know the things that have happened on ROBLOX throughout the years. Most of the people who talk about things that happened in the past were usually 2009+ players.
Finally, the players' intelligence hasn't gone down at all through the years. There are just more players joining in the upcoming years, which makes it harder to find all of the incredibly talented and witty people that join.
So there you have it. Logic at its finest. |

@paint Never said that. @bright You're from 2010, you wouldn't have any idea how it was. READ MY MESSAGE AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN. Summary of the message: I don't miss the old ROBLOX round studs, I missed how it was not filled with idiots, and it it doesn't change, I quit. Understood? |

@fire stupid. @Sonic X that does make sense, but you missed the point. I am NOT being defensive about the year I joined, although it was great, it's just before then there weren't OD'ers, 'Trolls', and Cyber bullies. If there were, I never found ANY until mid 2009. |

OP was probably right! I wish I joined in '08. And don't blame ALL of us '09'ers. I did nothing wrong. BUT there were a lot of OD'ers when I joined. |
