I never knew how good I had it when I played it as a kid. I've come back a couple times in the last few years just to monitor the state of things, and yeah it's an absolute dumpster fire.
It used to be the biggest cultivator of creativity for kids on the internet... Now it's the biggest cultivator of capitalism and scumbaggery in children.
God I miss the old Roblox. Every now and then I come back to see what's up. A lot of the old places are still there, but some of the scripts don't work anymore. I always look back at my old places from waaaaayyy back and every time I do I see them through different eyes and come to understand child me a little bit differently. Roblox around '08 was really something special.
By the way, if you were active on the old forums somebody went and archived them: https://archive.froast.io/
I'm glad I never used my actual name, looking at my dumbass posts lol
EDIT: By the way, there's some really cool shit being made by the new kids, I mean Roblox did make a ton of money off them after all. Recently I played a bit of the AoT game. And of course there's Dress to Impress. The barrier to entry for places is a lot higher now.
