I find funny that Itrapped the one who went overboard is the only one with a diferent sword, cuz Caleb and Ellernate just messed up the site, using a illumina, while itrapped destroyed the economy, usang a Darkheart

Its been a decade and 2 years this April fools hacking incident happened and everyone remembers

[Coolhoun]

I wish school taught us this in history class.

the c: face is probably my favorite accessory/face in roblox history, literally an icon,
even with UGC, its still not available (or at least it isn't available rn, someone made a face, but it was removed)

[Signal_Productions]

I love how you told us the story with parts! I didn’t even know about this vid until now! P.s. your vid was the first one to pop up when I searched it up about the incident, so I guess this was the best one which it was.

Ellernate was like: "DUDE ITRAPPED, NOW THAT'S NOT A JOKE"

[ThirdPlays]

Caleb is actually unconfirmed, but iTrapped was confirmed through Ellernate yelling at him on the forums for screwing up the whole economy. Who knows if Caleb was involved or not, all we know was that Ellernate was talking to Caleb during the hacking thanks to a now deleted video with a 2012 messaging app open

If the roblox website had green security (and a green cookie so u cant see it) this would never happen

[Jaocob.]

played the doomspire td event and was wondering what it was about. now i know

[oxtwentytwo]

you earned a sub for being my new roblox history teacher, i would like to see more of these dark history of Roblox.

[Russjohn]

using 3301 music? perfect. it fits in perfectly with hackers.

[quandaledingleissus]

My brother played Roblox at that time and I think he was shocked when it was hacked

[lanicalb]

3:49 well at least ellernate cares about the company making money

[Your_Boy_is_Here]

Wasn’t born in 2012, so if it gotten worse, i would’ve never believed someone mentioned roblox

[Telemaster]

I was playing on the exact day this happened, most people actually thought it was a normal prank because everything seemed innocent outside the forums and most people didn't check the forums, it wasn't until later when we started realizing what was going on. I wish I recorded back then; I had no idea this would still be talked about years later... then again, I had no idea how to record lol

[The_J...]

The roblox game doomspire defense has a gamemode called incident that has caleb who curses, itrapped that ruins your economy, and ellernate and minish

[MaximusIsRandom]

"My damage has been done, aprils fools. Fools" -ellernate

[Tinpot_Guy]

[Vineware]
