Before you start saying 'OMG this is a TIX thread!!11' I'd like to tell you that this isn't. This is just a debatable topic.
So, ROBLOX recently started the removal of TIX a well known ROBLOX 'Virtual Currency'. According to ROBLOX TIX removal was due to two main reasons i.e the betterment of its business and the removal of bots which constantly make accounts and delivering/giving all of their TIX to their main account causing one to get loads of money without spending a penny.
But, I'm not here to talk about the TIX removal, I'm here to talk about ROBLOX's control over itself.
As some oldies might remember, back in 2015/2014 the website of ROBLOX was hacked. The hack wasn't really a big one, it just turned all of the place visits of a ROBLOXian/Dev to 0. This was also applied to popular places such as Apocolypse Rising and Work At A Pizza Place. All of their visits were gone. Though this might seem as a hack ROBLOX announced that due to one of its employees, the glitch/bug happened. Though thr glitch/bug took several hours to fix. This moves the arrow towards the fact that the ROBLOX website though told by many that it isn't hack-able was probably hacked.
On the other hand, another large tragedy took place at Off Topic AKA OT at 4th of April approximately between 11-12 AM. This incident is knows as OTermination. In OTermination several OTers were banned/term'd. They were not particularly OTers as they posted in different forums such as ATR, RT, etc. Two of the several OTers either banned/term'd were FlaminMetal and TheJayZeroFive. These two OTers were widely known in OT as chill. They weren't 'edgy'. But they still got banned.
Many OTers investigated it, and neither of the admins responsible for forums were online at that particular time. Neither Inception nor legoseed were online. Though accusations were put on buffaloe (a moderator widely knows for his bans) but after some investigation, he too wasn't online at that time. That leaves thoughts to wether ROBLOX got hacked or... does ROBLOX use Bots?
Yesterday I made a thread explaining that mods are using threads due to which I was prevenido (translate it into English). Though it didn't contain any words which may hurt someone's feelings (as ROBLOX is too caring about feelings) nor was it too 'edgy'. This incident does somehow partially support that ROBLOX has started using bots as a way to warn/ban/term people. Another quite storing speculation is that a couple of days ago I sent a message to one of my friends with the word 'ass' in it. I was prevenido (translate into English :p).
But why? Has ROBLOX started loosing control over itself? Have hackers found a blind spot in ROBLOX's excellent security? Or has ROBLOX become too lazy? Though too lazy is a good speculation as they gave 2k16's egg hunt to a random guy :P

+If ROBLOX is actually recruiting 40 people this year on its own, then that means its business is going quite well with TIX.

I'm sorry but when you said "As some oldies might remember, back in 2015/2014" I just couldn't stop laughing. 2015 was like 5 months ago, and even 2014 isn't old. Old is like 2010. |

If you were talking about hacks why didnt you say about the 2012 april fools hack???
|
|
|
@faces I originally joined in 2013, so I don't remember 2012.
Can you explain? |
|
|
Right so the 2012 hack basically had a group of hackers which took control over the roblox site involving expensive item items going free and even making admins post innapropiate content in the forums and they made a face which you cant get any more.

Some people got locked in roblox cause they had to shut down the site. Many people got banned and the old banners they used were also hacked displaying things like "i am the annoying orange banner muhahahaha".
It was mayhem but luckily I wasnt there.

All free to play games eventually take a path to destruction. Every single one has and will.
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. |
|
|
Probably the developers will stop making updates to amazing games such as Apoc.
ROBLOX really hasn't worked this out. |
|
|
ROBLOX will probably die soon. Taking away TIX,price floors etc. The community is getting angrier and angrier, longing for the old days. Then again, they will get over it and new players will come. But ROBLOX will die. Just like above said.

Roblox will soon slowly start too collapse in the future but for now it's stable till they make a unwanted update that causes every single user to leave even the moderators.
Try being in the year of 1x1x1x1x1 who was a staff member who hacked allot more then these people did in the days of 2014-2016
Even from how much you look at me... I'm always a Wizard Harry! |

even so the otermination days are often brought thanks to MINIMODS, done during times when mods are often OFFLINE so the moderation is done by a BOT. even so said minimods are reporting LEGITIMATELY as oters often ACTUALLY BREAK THE RULES. |
