Since half the population complains about new ROBLOX being terrible, how about you have a nostaliga version so those people can whine and complain no more. It would also show new users what ROBLOX used to be like, and how much it has advanced from then (Eg. today has Dynamic lighting, CSG, Custom particles etc) The version I think should be up would be around the date before Erik died (Late 2012-Early 2013) But if you want to go really nostaligic, go ahead and throw a 2008 client out there. Or even 2007. Or if you want to make the older versions look bad and buggy than 2009 it is. You could have different ROBLOX eras, that would definetly be neat. Also, my idea is have no ROBLOX hosted servers for these clients except official ROBLOX created games. So this way if someone really wants to play the old ROBLOX, they can host a server on their own PC or play a ROBLOX created game. Simple. ROBLOX barely has to invest any money into servers. I would advise a disclaimer/warning saying that everything here is user made servers and there is no support for these clients.. blah blah blah. Anyways, support this idea if you support it, and dont support it if you dont support it and please comment why you do not support the idea. As well, I am open to suggestions to add to this.

I can't find the link, but there's a 2008 client out there. /r/roblox would know more than me; they actively post images from it, and I've never asked. You should also look up "2008 Simulator" in Games. There's a well-known 2008 simulator with the scripts for it available as a free model.

I have a 2008 client. I have tons of old ROBLOX clients. I have Mid 2008, Late 2008, Early 2009, Mid 2009, Late 2009, Early 2010, Early 2011, Mid 2012, Early 2013, Mid 2013, Late 2013 etc etc. Also, those 2008 simulators are nothing. Its not the same experience. Its just a few old gui emulations and player emulations. You get the point.

Well, just to be clear on my stance: I don't like the idea of doing anything to go back to 2008. It was a pretty crappy era when compared to today; lag would be nearly unbearable to players today. The GUIs would be very abtrusive and clunky; when scroll bars were added I yelled out with joy. The physics engine was somewhat bad, and with a 30FPS default across platforms, any slight messup of the graphics was significantly noticeable.

What about 2012 as I had stated in the thread? Or 2011?

I don't think the differences between the two are big enough to justify another client over replicating the mechanics manually.
