ROBLOX was horrifying always at 3:00 AM

'''This is obvious 3 AM thing so don't bother. Also none of this is real and stop harassing me because 3 AM is a myth. This is just some sort of a glitch a.k.a WEIRD ROBLOX THINGY'''

What you will read is a creepypasta fake story about a 3 AM glitch and bonus events that happened in the course of 13 years.

October
Earliest known forums on the archive were founded to be dating about an suspicious update on whoever played ROBLOX at 3 AM would suffer in a horrible manner.

December
About 75 people reported oddities at 3 AM when playing ROBLOX

March
1,250 people reported every month a bad occasion of ROBLOX at 3 AM

First staff meeting
It was decided to fix this bug. The bug was officially fixed on March 29th, 2008.

May
The bug updated itself being stronger. About 8,457 people witnessed the bug per month.

Second staff meeting in June
The process of fixing took longer as it was discovered that the bug grew stronger automatically. ROBLOX updating disabled the ability and the bug was removed on 8th July 2009.

September
Bug has managed to bypass the new update. Reached nearly 20K people, twice the last time.

Third staff meeting
ROBLOX had to be shutdown for 10 hours. The bug wasn't successfully fixed and only affected 4K people monthly.

February
The bug was growing stronger and became soon lethal leading to first 7 terminations.

Fourth staff meeting in March
ROBLOX was shutdown for 48 hours. Staff passed the monitoring act of 2010 in order to detect and slow down the bug.

April
An user made a April Fools prank that horribly turned into a spillover cluster of the bug. The user was terminated along causing 78,500 people to be infected and 336 terminated falsely. ROBLOX was shutdown for another 48 hours and extended it's lockdown by 12 hours to terminate the cluster.

Research based on census of daily attacks in May 2010
ROBLOX staff have analyzed that between 300,000 to 750,000 people have been affected by the bug with less than 4,000 accounts terminated.

July
An incident caused a spillover leading to 35K affected users at 3 AM and 210 terminated falsely. ROBLOX found and terminated several perpetrators from a hacker group which was soon terminated for damaging. It resulted in a 20 hour lockdown.

Fifth staff meeting
The staff were tired of constantly panicking people because of the bug. Extreme measures soon were to be taken according to the meeting. It was planned to stop 24/7 activity of ROBLOX website.

September
The bug evolved into showing morbid and scary pictures affecting now 28K people monthly. ROBLOX soon started curfews as of 6th September 2010 where they had to temporarily shutdown at night time hours to prevent further cases of the bug. It did not successfully treated all the users around the world as time zones were different leading to 2,300 foreign cases of the bug each month.

ROBLOX at this moment was no longer a 24/7 website.

January
ROBLOX increasing it's number of users lead to the increase of the 3 AM cases. Following their 6th meeting on 17th January 2011, the staff would shutdown ROBLOX at weekend to prevent further spread but greatly affected experience of people who were forced to play it during Mondays to Fridays.

By the end of January, Robloxians began their outrage protest with an mass of 96,400 demanding to relax the website and give more freeplaying.

February
ROBLOX no longer went down during weekends afterwards. The bug evolved into a more horrifying prototype now possible to impact mental health of the people in real life! Out of monthly 8,850 cases, only 30 of them witnessed severe impact!

At the seventh meeting, the staff had to shutdown ROBLOX with a 60 hour lockdown in order to fix the bug which was evolving constantly. Following the successful breakthrough in curing, the bug was removed officially on 27th February 2011.

April
The April Incident of 2012 apparently was responsible for the revival of the 3 AM bug which came into effect after ROBLOX went down from the hack.

On 14th April 2012, during the 8th meeting of the staff, 1% of them voted for a ultimate cease of all operations on the website. This was leaked on forums and panic started as it would mean the end had officially come for ROBLOX until...

The Outrage Era (2012-13)
On April 16th, 2012. Roblox players had it enough and started posting their own outrages among the forums claiming how the website is too weak against DOS attacks threatening to quit the website. There were 196,300 participants (estimates included up to 350,000 participated). The 2012 year became ROBLOX's dark year as outrage was climbing to the top of the eradication of an website.

On 27th April 2012, about 8,600 accounts were terminated for attempting to hack ROBLOX. 20,300 participants were I.P banned.

During May 1st till May 3rd 2012, an unexplained surge of 3 AM glitch was reported rising up to 200,440 players. About 14,360 accounts were terminated during 48 hours.

In June 2012, the outrage stagnated a bit with only 2,330 accounts terminated for hacking attempts between 2nd June and 29th June 2012.

ROBLOX reported an increase of angry players in late-August 2012 estimating between 75,000 to 100,000 new participants came in. Several hacker groups formed per monthly census.

September 9th, 2012 was scheduled to be the true date of all operations ceasing after ROBLOX had shutdown multiple times ranging from 24 to 72 hour lockdowns. However, on 31st August 2012, ROBLOX had officially managed to reshape itself from the longest shutdown in year 2012 which was launched on 26th August.

Outrage from then depleted very quickly and between 10,000 to 30,000 accounts were terminated in the process from the September DOS.

2013
2013 saw an formation of a new hacker group called ROBLOXIAN SEEKERS which had 340 members.

January
DOS attacks occured again and 40,000 new reports of outrage took place with now 600,000 people being affected monthly by the 3 AM glitch/bug.

The bug became more powerful into forcing players to play horror games no one has played without the ability of exiting. 40% of these were terminated. Roblox shutdown at 20th January for 4 days to fix the bug. The ROBLOXIAN SEEKERS hacker group with all 340 members (+55 new ones) was terminated after that.

End of the Outrage
The Outrage Era was officially ending with new and more secure updates following the Update and Monitoring security act of 2012 embraced during the 15th staff meeting in October 2012.

Less people were angry and ROBLOX was recovering from huge damages of the 2012 year. On May 2013, The Outrage Era was declared over after ROBLOX successfully embraced a full-term recovery under the Update and Monitoring security act of 2012 which would continue on until July 2014 as stated in the 15th staff meeting.

November
Unknown number of 6,500 people was reported to have seen the 3 AM glitch. Some claimed the catalog stopped functioning and ROBLOX gradually was broken from November 5th to November 10th, 2013.

July
The Update and Monitoring security act of 2012 embraced during the 15th staff meeting in October 2012 had expired leading to a 50 hour poll to extend the license. 61% voted in favor to keep the act extending it to Q3 2016. During 6 months, less than 10,000 people witnessed the 3 AM glitch.

October
Unknown DOS attack occured on 10th October. Accusations were made against a hacker group called HALLOWEEN HAX 2014 which had 500 participants at the time of it's termination. 3 AM glitch slightly increased until late-October.

The Hacking Heist of 2015 and the 3 AM glitch in 2015
Hacker group Bacon Organization 2015 was formed on 11th March. They secretly bypassed the 2012 secure act and caused DOS attack to over 3 million people which was the largest in the entire year. 70% of these reported even the 3 AM glitch. ROBLOX was shutdown for 3 days but the organization was never terminated as it vanished completely after the attack.

Following the 18th Staff meeting discussing on the attack several have agreed to extend the 2012 Security Act to Q3 2017. The decision was approved and came into effect on 31st March 2015.

April
An April Fools prank which was misunderstood as a hoax became responsible for 10 million people attacking ROBLOX over suspicious links that didn't relate to the website which was the largest ever documented in the year 2015. Also there were reports of 2.8 million people witnessing the 3 AM glitch. ROBLOX went down for 6 hours and issued an apology.

The April Fools Act
The April Fools act discussed in the 19th staff meeting came into the effect with the following procedures for an actual April Fools prank without any goofing around. It was approved on 4th April 2015.

December
3 AM glitch was reported by 3 million people during the Christmas event.

March
ROBLOX was beginning to slowly eradicate the daily currency called TIX. On 16th March 2016, Bacon Organization rebranded and hacked 12 million people and threatened to shutdown the website for an entire week because of an unaimous and controversial decision. 5 million people had witnessed the 3 AM glitch during that week.

The website went down for 5 days and half of the members of the Bacon Organization were terminated. Estimates claim that between 500 to 800 members were present at the time before the shutdown.

April
Following the 20th staff meeting so far, the following was made:
 * 1) The 2012 security act was extended till Q2 2018
 * 2) Bacon Organization was terminated successfully
 * 3) 3 AM glitch must be monitored.
 * 4) TIX removal had to be extended till June 2016
 * 5) Termination of any hacker groups and accounts should be more often considered

May
Unknown DOS attack occured affecting 10 million people who were online. Some have accused the supposed Bacon Organization 2016 which is a sister hacker group of the previous one that was terminated nearly a month ago. The Bacon Organization 2016 was terminated on 19th May 2016. The 3 AM glitch was reported by 9 million people at the time.

June
The supposed TIX removal on April 14th 2016 was extended to June 14th 2016 leading to a significant decline era. Some have reffered it as The Outrage 2.0 Era.

The Outrage 2.0 Era (2016-19)
It was the longest ever period. Painful and complex battle between ROBLOX and the total 60 million users that did not like the TIX removal as well as other controversial features. About 11 million people per month have witnessed the 3 AM glitch.

On 4th July 2016, 50,000 accounts were terminated falsely leading to an increase of outrage. ROBLOX eventually sorted it out due to a unspecified glitch unrelated to 3 AM but most have disagreed.

During August 2016, 5 million users on YT began posting how ROBLOX was horrible at handling a glitch for nearly 9 years. An campaign was launched to get YT to remove any hate about ROBLOX. About 3,200 videos were removed and 400,000 accounts were terminated.

Raging continued with 3 AM glitch being reported by more than 15 million people during the rest of the 2016.

January
3 AM glitch suddenly gets reported by over 35 million people during the removal of VOX terrain. ROBLOX shutdown for ten days and came back being attacked by an estimated number of 2 million users. About 75,000 accounts were terminated that day.

During the 24th Staff meeting, the Update and Monitoring security act of 2012 embraced during the 15th staff meeting in October 2012 was moved back to Q1 2018 due to cases of people breaking the limit of the act. 3 AM glitch was reported in 18.7 million people at that time.

The Outrage fighting continued with far smaller numbers until October 2017. Total of 85 million people witnessed the 3 AM glitch.

Removal of the Guests, the ultimate showdown
The biggest downturn occured when ROBLOX removed the Guest feature leading to 18 million users demanding it back! At the 26th staff meeting, the Guest feature was rebranded to remain until December 2017. The 2012 Security act was given to officially expire on January 2018, nearly 6 years after it's use. 3 AM glitch slightly increased to 22 million people per month.

November
Due to ImJayStation videos of 3 AM. ROBLOX launched a campaign to finally eradicate the 3 AM bug harassing users for 10 years with horror and termination! The campaign process would be part of a new recovery for the website and a key feature to end the Second Outrage era.

ROBLOX youtubers were banned for 14 days due to causing hoaxes. Some were even terminated.

The 2012 Security Act ends
On 13th January 2018, the Update and Monitoring security act of 2012 had ended it's support and effectiveness to keep the website secure. This process had been going for nearly 6 years to have stopped the 3 AM glitch and had ended the First Outrage Era. By January 2018, people were witnessing less 3 AM glitches as curfews were embraced.

February
The 2018 curfews and weekend lockdowns were part of daily Robloxian life. Outrage increased drastically but calmed down a week later.

The good news
The annoucement on March 6th 2018 was made where staff of ROBLOX officially claimed that the 3 AM glitch could be eradicated in 2-3 months after huge decrease is seen going below even 1 million users!

The plan for a Security Act: Revival or New one
The 32nd Staff meeting which lasted from 25th to 27th March was given a decision on whether to extend the 2012 security act that expired or embrace a new one. Final approval was made in First week of April.

The 2018 Security Act
On 3rd April 2018, ROBLOX embraced a new more secure act which helped a lot against the 3 AM glitch and the outrage tho there were more typos and controversies during the 2018 year including Anthro or R30.

Anthro/Rthro/R30 controversey
28 million users stood up against the new rig animations of R30. The outrage lasted 3 weeks before ROBLOX modified the R30 feature making it less of an typo.

3 AM glitch becomes very rare.
Successful 2018 Security Act which was passed 2 months ago led to severe decrease of the glitch itself. Less than 650,000 users experienced it per month.

October
As R30 becomes optional feature with a less controversial meaning, the 3 AM glitch was nearly eradicated when less then 280,000 people reported it in October.

January
The Outrage Era 2.0 officially ends.

May
The 3 AM glitch was officially eradicated after 12 years of it harassing users.

March
The staff have officially analyzed that between 300 million to 400 million users have witnessed the glitch from it's very beginning. It was the longest ever known glitch to have happened in the History of ROBLOX.

THE END!
