Phantom Posts


 * The word "Phantom Post" is used to describe a broad type of spectral phenomena occurring on the Roblox platform, especially the Roblox Forums of times past. All Phantom Posts share the following traits:


 * Blank title & post
 * Blank username, giving the appearance of no poster
 * Poster join dates listed between 01-01-1970 and 01-19-2038
 * Poster avatar is either a solid color or does not appear at all.
 * Phantom Posts have been discovered spanning from the alpha stages of the game in 2004 and 2005 and all the way up to the removal of the forums in December 2017. Phantom Posts are benign in nature and do not cause any adverse effects to those who encountered them.

Behavior Of Phantom Posts

 * Nothing is known about the motives or cause of the Phantom Posts. Phantom Posts occur in "clusters" where heightened amounts of Phantom Post instances occur, before returning to normal rates. Phantom Posts have never been manifested as replies.Spooky-0.PNG


 * The highest amount of confirmed Phantom Posts date from the winter of 2006-07, being 14.6% above average. another unusually large manifestation of Phantom Posts has been dated to September of 2013.

Users That Post Phantom Posts

 * The subject of considering the "users" that post Phantom Posts users at all is a subject of debate. The users have completely blank names and do not seem to be part of the actual user system. Searching the Roblox website for traces of these mysterious unnamed users has been unsuccessful. Attempting to directly access a forum user profile page also usually results in failure. On the contrary, multiple users have reported success in viewing a user profile, but there is only a single verified instance of this.PhantomPostProfile_-_Copy.png







Theories​​​

 * Automated System Theory


 * Some have considered the possibility that Phantom Posts are some sort of internal maintenance system, checking the working order of ROBLOX.
