Note: This is not about the entirety of the Roblox fanbase, just the people who consider themselves part of the "Roblox Community". Also, this post includes cursing.

Let's start at the very very beginning.

In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth.

And then the poster skipped through most of human history until about 2006.

And then there was Roblox.

Ok, that was kind of weird but I'm done with it now. But before I get to the rant, I have to answer the question hanging over me. Who is the Roblox community? Well, I'll tell you.The Roblox community is a weird mix of anybody and everybody that have come together because they play Roblox. However, most notably, this group of people is full of people who like to criticize Roblox. The most prominant of these groups are probably the people mad about the forums removal, the people mad about the tix removal, and the "old Roblox elitists".

Oh, I forgot to mention that I am qualified to speak about this because I used to be a part of the community.

My problem is this: The community complains about EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. That's not an exageration. Tix are gone. Complaint. Forums are gone. Complaint. Roblox Studio is different from the way it was before. Complaint. A dev makes a hat people don't like. The community loses its fucking mind. The list goes on and on and on. While some of the complainst brought up are valid, a large portion of them aren't. For example, a lot of people just rag on the removal of tix without bothering to consider the context. They just demonize Roblox without bothering to do much research on the topic. They see "Roblox used to have tix. Tix was easy to get. Roblox removed Tix. Roblox bad" without considering possible consequences for keeping tix. Like possible exploitation of the system (See botted games on the front page).

Now to talk about the old roblox elitists. The old Roblox elitists are people who view the period of 2006-2010 on Roblox as infinitely superior to modern day roblox. They have the same problem I do, when I look back on seeing my cousins: They only remember the good. They never remember the bad. Like for example, Roblox was not in HD then. They didn't have shirts or pants for half the time. They didn't have the degree of avatar customization that Roblox has now. They didn't have nearly as many good games in the quantity modern Roblox has. The list goes on. Dont get me wrng, I think that old Roblox has a nice charm to it. I think that 2006-2010 really was a good time for Roblox. As a matter of fact, I'm a big fan of Nuke the Whales by John Shedletsky. But the problem is that they treat modern day Roblox as if it sme kind of Demon to be repulsed by. While it does have its problems, overall modern day Roblox is much better than old roblox.

And what rant about the roblox community would be complete without mentiong Anthro/Rthro? Not this one, that's for sure. I don't really know how the roblox community feels about Rthro nowadays, but before it was released..... Boy that was intense. I know because I was a part of it. You know what I'm talking about: The Anti Anthro bandwagon. Stop lying I know you remember it. I remember that people (including myself) got so mad at the idea of Rthro actually being released that you'd think somebody shot ther grandparents in front of them or something. I don't know if some people still do this, but I stopped thinking this way after the theoretical affects of Rthro being a thing didn't happen.

Note: This post is not finished. I can't finish it at the moment, so I'll make edits and stuff later. Stay tuned!
