why did I make this???

I like to call 2016 the golden years of the internet. It was when I really started getting into gaming, YouTubers were mostly good, and the internet was just a nice place to be. After that though I believe it went downhill.

Been playing roblox since 13, 799, 999, 999, 999 BC, those were really the times when roblox really felt like a good game.

Been playing since 2012. I personally consider the era of 2012–2016 the golden age of Roblox, where things seemed to be much simpler and more fun. The site just felt much more community-driven than it is now, with things like the forums or the cool events Roblox would do every now and again, like the egg hunts. Of course, these types of things still happen, and the tools that Roblox has provided for people like developers are better than they were nine years ago, and games are more advanced than they ever have been, but it felt like the site had a lot more soul through its community. It's kind of difficult for me to explain how it felt (at least for me) to play Roblox back then. You just kind of had to be there before Roblox became the CEO of bad decisions.

Joined around 2018-2019 but man it really does suck how quick things spiraled out of controll

Had to change the first one to a horrible music due to copyright and the dinosaud music got removed due to copyright

I joined in 2017 but the music that was played to this is just nostalgic. It was played in literally every tycoon game and free admin game. I miss the old times.

2016 was probs one of my favourite years because things were smooth, life was good, i was happy, people were happy, nothing seemed wrong. YouTube was at an amazing point and the content was original and fun and not repetitive. I was 9, roblox was fun, minecraft was fun, i listened to music ALL the time and it didn't seem like there was much wrong with the world. Roblox was great, I played it a lot, almost every day, made lots of friends, roleplayed all the time.

It was an amazing year and I'm glad to have played roblox more in that year after my brother stole the minecraft account. at least i had roblox. it filled the void in the times where i was bored and i just sat at the computer playing it for hours upon end, every day. The games have become less fun and everything went downhill i think after that, but 2016 was an awesome time.

I joined in 2011-2012, I remember just how simple the games are. I can't even describe how simple it really was, but I remember Work at a Pizza Place and Base Wars being popular.

Man. I remember playing as a guest on the library computers back in 2009. Roblox wasn't about having flashy avatars and making money-grabbing games. Roblox back then was just about having fun.

Ironically enough, as a 2012 ROBLOX veteran, it certainly brings a tear to my eye to have our era feel acknowledged. The appearance of a standard player and the music perfectly encapsulate what I consider, the golden, most beautiful era of ROBLOX at its time. I truly hope we veterans haven't died out in this growing, evolutionary community, and to those reading, I salute

Joined the community in 2015. The thing that hurts so much is that back then, things were simpler, and the games were very unique. Now, most of those games either shut down or fell down the stairs due to a lack of updates. Which really sucks because they had so much potential to be great.

As a 2009er, this hits HARD, I was so young when I found Roblox, crazy to think how much it's changed for better or worse! Though I do miss the old community feeling you got, now it feels like everyone is out for money and the company can't do a thing right sadly.

0:28 i joined in 2017 BUT THE 2014 AND 2012 MUSICS ARE JUST NOSTALGIC

[ChillZoh]

i joined during 2014... its so sad to see how horrible the decisions they have made were... they always were making great events and interacting with the players

[Mizosu]

2017 had the absolute best trendy avatars. It feels so iconic

[Lambochops.]

This hits hard as a 2016er. I remember playing as a guest in early 2016, which when the game was fun. I made my account after taking a little bit of a break in 2018, due to some other games. I was really interested to see how the game changed, and I honestly wish I had made an account in 2016 instead. I really wish that guests weren't terminated, styles were still funny, and people were still nice.. Sometimes we can't relive the past, which can be a shame..

As a 2016 player. Pokémon BB, Meepcity, And Criminal vs Swat we’re always the games my homies would play. God, I loved it.

[Name-deij]

I really appreciate the fact that you included 242, 000, 000BC. As someone who joined in 253, 828, 797BC, this video really hits close to home. I miss the old days when everyone would always glitch their way into getting a pterodactyl skin. The community was so much nicer back then, its such a shame how much it’s changed. Everyone seems to respect and appreciate the 2006-2012 era and even coin it as “legacy” when we were here first. 😕

Honestly I joined Roblox in 2017 and I've got to say, time really does go by fast. I remember there was a ton of games I had never seen or even heard of before and everything was fun and a new experience for me. Now it's 2022 and I honestly feel like quitting Roblox. It just feels so empty now and the only reason I play it now is because that's the only way me and my best friend can play online together. And another reason why I feel like quitting is because I feel like I've played all of the popular, good games on Roblox. And let's be honest here, nobody really makes good games on Roblox anymore like they used to in 2017. I wish I could relive 2017 because that was a great year for Roblox.
