Vault 8166 rumor

Author's note:

'''There is a special wiki for the Vault creepypasta. If you are interested, be sure to take a look by clicking here. Vault 8166  was rumored to be a remote server on  Roblox ''' where unexplainable things beyond usual are occurring. It is allegedly a secret map run by unknown hackers who can watch or monitor activity between users. It is said that anyone who goes there can gain access to certain information on  Roblox  and obtain access to an entire database of installations, GUIs, and programs. This facility is believed to be the birthplace of the most dangerous exploits in the games. Software, bots, or viruses are also stored here that have been placed and hidden into  Roblox  models or plugins. The intentions and history of this place have yet to be known.

People have thought that this forum post was the final message sent by one of the users in the footage above before they got captured after one of the users found out that the footage was taken 2 minutes after the forum post was posted.

A few months ago this year in 2023, a game was released by an unknown user which what looks to be the same vault 8166 in the footages back then, It's public for anyone to join and play.

The First Mention of Vault 8166:
On November 15th, 2016, an anonymous user created a thread on the  Roblox  talk sub-forum. This user claimed to have accidentally gotten onto this "unknown place" while testing out a teleporter for a game. The thread summarizes how "Evil is operating behind our eyes", and that there is a place where dangerous people are gaining access to user profiles and other information as we speak. This secret place was referred to as "Vault 8166". Around this time a Youtube video by the same user was uploaded showcasing how to get into Vault 8166.

A few hours after the thread was posted, word went out. Mysteriously, the forum was nowhere to be found, along with the user who posted it. Moderators may have taken off the thread. If not, something else was at work, and it wanted the forum thread gone.

Two Users Attacked by an Unknown Figure
Recently, a user-submitted footage of what seems to be a hallway of Vault 8166. The time and date this was recorded are believed to have been taken on November 15, 2016, the very same date as the forum post. It starts out with a hallway full of computers with switching screens that resemble codes. It also contains red flashing lights, a strange white room at the end, and a poster containing a skeleton, saying, "Warning, we are watching you".

Two Robloxians, both of which resemble a common exploiter avatar, walk into the middle of the hallway. One of them is fully the color black, has a particle emitter and red fire, and his name is known as BoomBlox555, The other is just colored red on the head and black on the torso, This user is believed to be a person by the name of "djadiamond," However neither of the nametags are visible. They stop and take a look around, and out of nowhere, a strange, skinny, figure with large legs comes out from behind and starts running at them while waving its arms. Both characters start panicking. Right when the figure reached them, the video suddenly blacks out. While the figure in the video can' t be easily identified, we know that the figure is classified as a  Guardian  of the facility. Current information about its creation and how it came to be are not yet underway.

Server Room Footage
On March 25, 2018, A video on what appears to be a server room located inside of Vault 8166, it lasts around 6 seconds, the server ranks inside this room are beeping noises, along with a rotating fan inside the vent shaft. The video has been reuploaded on July 10th 2023. It is still unknown how this video has surfaced, the room has a blue tint to it, there are around 6 server ranks seen in this short clip, and there is a light above the ceiling,

On further inspection, the clip was uploaded by a recent new YouTube channel. It was likely that a user who managed to get into the vault recorded this footage and uploaded it. It is unknown how this user, and other users like BoomBlox555 and djadiamond got there in the first place, but it was likely a broken teleporter that sent them there.

Corrupted Cave Footage
On May 11, 2018, A video has surfaced again by the same channel who uploaded the Server Room footage back in March, which has also been reuploaded on the same day the server room footage had been reuploaded. It is a video on what appears to be an underground area of the vault. There seems to be a broken window leading into an area of the vault. The video footage has been recorded by a security camera due to the footage moving left and right, after a few seconds, the camera gets corrupted, and the video gets fuzzier, the camera is now pointing at the ground.

After a few seconds, the camera goes back up, then the footage gets corrupted again, causing the video to end, some people say that there was a player found in this footage, proven with screenshots.

Some believe this player to be BoomBlox555 but it is truly unknown and cannot be confirmed nor denied.

Roblox Video Leaks
On July 10, 2023, Multiple videos surfaced yet again by the same channel who uploaded the server room footage and the corrupted cave footage. These videos look what to be different locations of Vault 8166, including the same hallway location from the 2017 footage. The first footage seem to be located at the same hallway many years back, with what seems to be a group of unknown users chatting with one another in Russian.

The second footage seems to be a unknown user walking around unseen parts of the facility, then going down the infamous hallway as seen in the first footage where out of nowhere the unknown figure turns the corner and attacks the user. We currently don't have any leads on what happened to the user, or any of the other users that have been attacked by the mysterious entity. The third footage is very hard to make out, so you'll have to examine the footage for yourselves. A fully black user was being chased by a blurred out figure of some sort, who then attacked the user that caused them to bleed out on the floor.

There has been a new video posted that shows three unknown users in Vault 8166. There is one user who is holding a red laser weapon and another user and they are both chasing the third player, the one holding the red laser is threatening him and eventually catches up to him and presumably shoots the player.

The origins of this channel are unknown but our team of researchers are working to identify anyone involved within the creation of the channel but due to its anonymity it is hard to figure who may be apart of.
