April 1st, 2012. A New Day for ROBLOX.

I don't know why I wanted to talk about this. Lol

IF YOU WANT A SMALL EXPLANATION GO HERE: Forum Post of this

(Note: Contains sexual Language and Mild Language)



Alright. So, remember April 1st? No not this year. 2 YEARS AGO. No it's not Google buying ROBLOX, It's a tragic, hideous event of April 1st, 2012.

So yeah, It all started with Merely's Domino Crown. It's a rare kind, and it's the hat with the most RAP. But on that day, Minish bought Merely's Domino Crown for 9223372036854776006 robux. Merely and Minish got into a fight. Merely was banned and Minish was banned (Why is Merely here? At the end it will take place.).

Then the Tragedy happened.


The forums outraged, and Pheedy, Minish, and Dignity apparently hacked the website (and some more people). Tons of Hats were made. All of these exist. I just couldn't find Tri crown - gold - princess
(If you know the name of the hat, leave it in the comments!)



And c: was also the creepiest face on that day. StickMasterLuke was the only person who could have it, and if you had 100 deniros you would get an error saying "OMG AN ERROR OCCURRED NOW YOU CANT BUY IT!!!111"



Even if you had it, it wouldn't even fit on your face at all.

Users were freaking out, posting about why Merely was banned and Minish donating to people.



With the whole admin board deleted except for Are17, Pheedy, and other users, ReeseMcBlox, Chro, and ROBLOX posted these forum posts that are a bit dumb.




Tons of people received the Moderator Badge, but the most famous were Are17 and Pheedy. They made forum posts also.







Everything was really crazy, people had maybe up to a trillion tickets and robux.

Also banners were changing and changing.





At 9 PM of that day ROBLOX was offline for maintenance to fix the website and get back the moderator badges.



 
After that Fiasco, ROBLOX was doing a rollback. The fake robux and tickets were removed, Merely was unbanned, and received his Domino Crown and his Wanwood Crown was taken back. Also Scoutywouty's Red Grind was returned. Are17 and Pheedy were banned. Minish was kept banned forever. The c: face was deleted, some people were happy and some were not. Items like Dominus Infernus, Eyepatch, and Superhero were kept on sale and will be kept forever.

There are some rumors that it wasn't a prank. Even StickMasterLuke agrees on this.

However, this may be true

Leeav, a former user moderator, claimed that 4/1/12 was the result of giving DracoSwordMaster access to the admin panel. DracoSwordMaster gave little hints about Leeav giving him access on the forums. According to Leeav, Pheedy, McNoobster, and Minish were unbanned by Draco. He then logged into the accounts and some admin accounts, and abused his sudden powers.
