[jisuskitty]

whenever i hear erik’s name i get sad but then happy knowing he made such a successful game

[JDJuasan]

Its crazy how some alot accounts can be made in the same 4 minutes now

[KrispieGC]

I’m now going to make a fanfic of Admin in my head and no one is going to stop me.

[Forgottenplayer-fh]

1. Admin (banned by roblox to test if banning works)

2. Qa (had been hacked and banned)

[salpnut]

I think roblox went into a steady decline after the death of Erik.

[epicgamer-]

i just realised that its being 21 years since roblox made that account, meaning roblox is basicilly 21 years old even though it was still in beta at the time and just a demo

Roblox didn’t have the 3 character requirement for usernames back then, which is how usernames like “qa”were possible.

Unfortunately, qa’s account got hacked multiple times over the years, and Roblox was unable to safeguard it, due to the modern Roblox client not recognizing “qa” as a valid username. As a result, the admins decided to terminate the account in 2017.

(It briefly got un-terminated in 2021, before it got hacked again and later re-terminated.)

[NotDMINO]

The "qa" acc is prob the rarest acc in roblox history since, not only it was one of the first acc created but also prob has the shortest username in roblox

[liutaiping]

The Admin account is so old that when I search it, it doesn't have it.

[popsmensah-bonsu]

Man i was 22 when they made that Admin account. Crazy!

[therealsmelil]

david not being verified and having 69 friends is wild

[hesmydoinstarlololol]

Admin:I'm the first account made ever! The real first player:I'm am joke for you?

[Rocketmanba]

Lets go, i'm literally older than roblox by 5 days

For those who don’t know: The F/A-18 Hornet is a twin-engine, supersonic, carrier-capable, multirole combat aircraft that was developed by McDonnell Douglas (now part of Boeing) for the United States Navy and Marine Corps. It is one of the most versatile fighter jets in the world, having proven itself in a wide variety of military operations since its introduction in the late 1970s. Known for its remarkable agility, reliability, and multi-mission capability, the F/A-18 has become a mainstay of modern naval aviation.

Design and Development
The F/A-18's design originated from the need for a replacement for the Navy's F-4 Phantom II and A-7 Corsair II. The Navy required a new aircraft capable of performing both fighter and attack missions, ideally suited for carrier operations. The initial design efforts, initiated in the 1970s, sought to create an aircraft that could fill these roles while being more affordable and capable than existing platforms. McDonnell Douglas, in collaboration with Northrop, eventually developed the Hornet, which first flew in 1978.

One of the key challenges in designing the F/A-18 was making it suitable for both air superiority (fighter) and close air support (attack) missions. As such, it was designed to be highly versatile with a wide range of weapons systems and a significant degree of agility, making it effective in both dogfighting and precision strike operations. The aircraft's unique combination of characteristics allowed it to perform multiple roles, such as fleet defense, interdiction, reconnaissance, and close air support.

Features and Capabilities
The F/A-18 is powered by two General Electric F404 engines, each producing approximately 18, 000 pounds of thrust. This twin-engine configuration provides the aircraft with excellent performance, enabling it to reach speeds of Mach 1.8 (around 1, 190 miles per hour) and fly at altitudes up to 50, 000 feet. The F/A-18 is capable of performing both air-to-air and air-to-ground operations, making it an essential part of modern naval air forces.

The Hornet’s airframe is designed to be highly durable and capable of withstanding the stresses of carrier landings, including high-speed approaches and the harsh conditions of takeoff and landing on a moving platform. Its robust landing gear and tailhook system enable it to land on an aircraft carrier with precision and control, even in challenging weather conditions.

The aircraft has a range of approximately 2, 000 nautical miles, depending on the mission configuration, and can carry up to 13, 000 pounds of ordnance. This includes a variety of bombs, rockets, missiles, and even precision-guided munitions, making the F/A-18 highly flexible in its role as both an interceptor and a ground-attack aircraft. In addition to its external weapons pylons, the F/A-18 also has the capability to carry fuel tanks for extended-range missions.

The Hornet is equipped with sophisticated avionics and radar systems, including the AN/APG-65 radar, which provides excellent detection and tracking capabilities. This allows the F/A-18 to engage enemy aircraft in a variety of conditions, whether in beyond-visual-range (BVR) combat or close-quarters dogfighting. The radar also enhances its ability to conduct precision strikes against ground targets, as well as operate in electronic warfare environments.

The cockpit of the F/A-18 is designed for maximum pilot efficiency, featuring digital displays and a hands-on throttle-and-stick (HOTAS) control system. This allows the pilot to control most of the aircraft's systems without removing their hands from the throttle or stick, which is essential for situational awareness in the high-stress environment of combat.

Operational History
The F/A-18 Hornet was introduced into service with the U.S. Navy in 1983, and it quickly proved its value in combat. Its first operational deployment was aboard the USS Nimitz during the 1980s, where it participated in air superiority and strike missions. Over the years, the Hornet has been involved in numerous conflicts, including the Gulf War (1990-1991), Operation Enduring Freedom (2001), and Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003).

In the Gulf War, the F/A-18 played a vital role in the initial phases of the conflict, striking targets in Iraq and providing support for naval operations. The aircraft's versatility made it a key asset for both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. The Hornet's ability to operate from aircraft carriers allowed it to provide a forward-deployed presence in the region, enhancing the U.S. Navy's ability to project power in the Middle East.

During the War on Terror, the F/A-18 proved invaluable in combat, performing close air support, precision strike, and interdiction missions. Its precision-guided munitions and advanced targeting systems allowed it to engage high-value targets with remarkable accuracy, reducing the risk of collateral damage. Additionally, the aircraft’s range and flexibility made it a key player in the Navy's efforts to control the skies and provide support to ground troops in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

Evolution: Super Hornet
In the 1990s, the F/A-18 Hornet was further developed into the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, a larger and more advanced version of the original aircraft. The Super Hornet retains much of the original Hornet’s design but with a larger airframe, upgraded avionics, and more powerful engines. The Super Hornet is capable of carrying more fuel and ordnance, extending its range and mission flexibility.

The Super Hornet’s enhanced radar, avionics, and engine systems make it even more capable than the original F/A-18, and it has become the primary strike fighter for the U.S. Navy. The Super Hornet entered service in the early 2000s and is expected to serve well into the 2040s, ensuring the Navy’s continued air superiority and strike capabilities.

Legacy and Conclusion
The F/A-18 Hornet and its successor, the Super Hornet, have proven themselves to be among the most versatile and reliable aircraft in the U.S. Navy's arsenal. Their ability to perform a wide range of missions, from air defense to strike operations, has made them invaluable assets to the Navy. With their carrier compatibility, advanced avionics, and exceptional agility, the Hornets have become essential to maintaining U.S. naval dominance.

As the F/A-18 continues to serve the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, as well as numerous allied nations, its legacy as a key player in modern naval aviation remains firmly intact. The Hornet’s enduring role in ensuring global security is a testament to its design and its capabilities, proving that the aircraft is as relevant today as it was when it first entered service over four decades ago.

Fun fact: qa was for questions and answers as a sort of tech support for Roblox.

[Bensproductions-jg]

Erm roblox was the first account. Then John Doe being the second account.

[beinzgoofensmirtz]

i've heard that qa wasn't used to test out forums, but it was hacked and the hacker used the forums, when roblox tried getting the account back they couldn't because it was under the 3 letter limit, not sure if this is correct though
