ROBLOX has established a very impressive community over the years, but even the most hardcore fans of the game don’t know everything. As a matter of fact, here are ten things that even the most hardcore fan probably doesn’t know.
1. JAREDVALDEZ4
You are probably asking yourself what I am talking about, right? Well this person, Jaredvaldez4, is actually the only known person, at least as of last year, to have four games on the front page at the same time. If anyone else has ever done this, then let me know.
2. KEITH
This is a name you are probably more familiar with, and Keith is an administrator for ROBLOX. This part you probably know, but the unknown part is that he was the 22nd member of the team and it wasn’t until 2008 that he finally became an administrator.
3. CLOCKWORK
Many ROBLOX fans know who Clockwork is, and if you don’t then just know he is a very popular administrator. However, he did something very controversial with his forum posts. Clockwork was believed to have more than 70,000 forum posts, but he actually just used coding to edit his count. This is not a huge deal, but it is still a little shocking.
4. CRAIGSLIST
PontifX, who was a new addition to the ROBLOX team in 2007, actually found the job online. The aforementioned new member saw the job listing on Craigslist, and he took advantage of it. How cool is it that a video game company actually posted a job listing on Craigslist?
5. MESSAGING YOURSELF
Back in the old days of ROBLOX, you could actually message yourself. Reasons for doing this were up to you, but I can think of a few good reasons. One, in particular, is to mildly entertain yourself for no reason other than to have something to do!
6. 10,000 MEMBER MILESTONE
When ROBLOX finally reached their milestone of gaining 10,000 members they were going to reward their fans. The company actually hinted at the fact that people could sell their accounts on eBay. Can I please ask what kind of person would actually spend money to buy another person’s account?
7. BADGES
Every fan will remember when Badges was first released but did you know that it had to be taken offline? This was due to the fact that the machine couldn’t handle all the traffic it was getting. I guess ROBLOX truly underestimated how many people wanted Badges!
8. FIRST RELEASED IN 2004
In case you were wondering, ROBLOX was actually released before 2006. It was released in 2004, but the catch is only game developers could play it. This will probably mean nothing to you, but at least now you can educate your friends on the real release date of ROBLOX.
9. FIRST HAT ON ROBLOX
If I took a poll and asked all of you what the first hat was on ROBLOX was, you would probably guess the right answer. You would have guessed the purple banded top hat, right? However, would you have then told me that it wasn’t the first hat on ROBLOX actually released? I bet you wouldn’t have, but if miraculously you would have then I will eat a slice of humble pie.
10. ROBLOX IS A VIDEO GAME
The last thing you didn’t know about ROBLOX is that it is a video game. So, that’s all folks! No, I am just kidding and here is the real last thing you didn’t know. Do you recall the famous Bloxxer T-shirt in the world of ROBLOX? Well, that was actually the very first T-shirt made in the game.
