I can definitely in no way can see this kind of community blowing up in Roblox's face at some point.

I thought that I might as well go ahead and share my experiences on Roblox; it was a big part of my life (as silly as that may sound), and it was to the point where I got income from it (as silly as that may sound, too). Some of the stuff that I will be sharing here seems to have already been said, but I will try to introduce a new perspective for the subject at hand.
Bob Pieron (NobleDragon) - the admin that followed artists who created porn of furries - is actually the Director of Trust and Safety - Learning and Enablement Manager at Roblox now. You can see it on his LinkedIn.
RubenSim is still being banned by Roblox's admins for making critical content offsite; he mentioned in a video that his girlfriend got banned because her account was associated with his IP address.
The stuff that I have seen with the furry games surprised me. I had no idea any of that occurred.
The incident where they banned Ugandan Knuckles for being "racist" left a bad taste in my mouth, and made me wonder why I developed on the "Imagination Platform" if they were that sensitive.
They later closed that thread because they could not handle the criticism.
The broader community of developers always championed women (regardless of what they said or did). Women's rights is a subject that I never stopped hearing about while developing on the platform.
This picture was taken at RDC 2019 (Roblox Developer Convention 2019; yes those are a thing). I am sure you will be able to see why I decided to post this picture given the above statement. I believe there might have been some meltdowns because a group of women got third place in RDC 2018's gamejam.
I suppose I should take the time to grace you all with the multi-billion dollar platform's hit single: Create.
They played this at the "Bloxy Awards" of 2018. The Bloxies are just a popularity contest; whoever is the most popular developer at the time of the show wins everything. Granted I have not kept up with them for a year or so, but I would not be shocked if things were still the same. For 2018 specifically: the game "Jailbreak" won a significant amount of the awards, and one of its developers (Asimo3089; none of them cared about Badcc, sadly) snatched up a lot as well.
Things got particularly heated this summer, and I think I made the right decision leaving given my own values and how politically homogeneous the community of developers became. Politics should not have even been a factor, but it has to be shoehorned into everything these days.
I was on the platform for more than a decade and was involved with a lot of communities, so I could probably share a bunch of different stories if any of you are interested. One of you mentioned a server that I was particularly close with; try not to dox me if you recognize me. ;>

There's this one roblox game that I played years ago, and that I keep coming back to in my mind. It's a first person shooter called Phantom Forces- sort of a battlefield/COD hybrid. The balance of the game, and it's playerbase is hot garbage, but I've never seen a game that does gunplay quite like it. There's no random spread to your shots they come straight out of the barrel on the viewmodel, instead recoil physically moves the gun model around, and every gun has a slightly different behavior in how its shots recoil. It's a fantastic system and it annoys me that no other shooter has tried something like it. I guess it's sort of a Dark Messiah of Might and Magic situation.
That being said I don't really recommend playing it for anything other than seeing how the gunplay functions.

RubenSim is a Youtuber I enjoyed watching. His video editing gimmicks were entertaining. Really sad he got banned from the site for criticizing it.
Damn, it's so good that it's barely even audible.
There are some genuinely good tracks for some of the games on the platform, like Phoqus' Tower Defense Simulator OST. Like, holy fuck. Shame that they just cobble together a random song like that.
Original music is nice but it isn't really' the biggest factor for me, though. I think I was always a fan of Rogue Lineage's whole tone. Like, you can kill some of the strongest enemies provided you have insane-ass mastery over the melee combat. Game is really good at making you feel weak. The community will be an ass but that adds to the learning experience imo. Fantastic Frontier also has cool worldbuilding from my experience but the gameplay leaves much to be desired.
I think one of the bigger problems with stuff like UGC and, by extension, the games, is that the game is garnering an older audience. Issue is that ROBLOX can't give much leeway to the older side or else they will run into some problems.

I just do not understand how they could have produced something that poor when they have a ton of money. I suppose their heart was not in it for that event. UGC is something that will be difficult to moderate and balance; there are a lot of issues with it already, and the degenerative parts of the older audiences will make things even worse. Personally I see them shutting down UGC at some point because it will not be worth the hassle.

Wow, some of these people have been around since 2009, which is considered to be the ancient times... I don't understand how you could stand being on the website for that long unless you were really into either the game, or the children themselves...

I was silly enough to try and make a career out of it; that is why I stuck around for as long as I did. Personally I cannot recommend it; Roblox likes to force their updates, and it can cause a lot of issues depending on what parts of the API you use. The physics-engine especially is known to be volatile. Humanoids are not your friend either, but it can take a lot of work to set up a controller for a character depending on the requirements of your game and how you do it.

Lots of kids play the game.
Lots of people play the game, period.
It's bound to get a thread at some point.

Roblox, where do I start...? This is going to get spergy.
I found this guy who keeps spamming his Twitch stream when it's live. About what you'd expect.
As others have mentioned, the furry game epidemic is quite interesting(?). Never played them myself.
There's a THRIVING underground market for buying old, limited, COOL items with real money. (As you would expect from many games.) The one I remember the most is this piece of shit, which will fetch several hundred dollars and wearing it in a game is guaranteed to get you some 12 year old hoes!
Filterpass games were also mentioned above. Before Roblox banned the search term, "scented con" was a common code name for sex games. I'm sure there's a new one now, those have been around since the dawn of time. They usually reused the same few maps, which were typically stolen and then given filterpass and penis/boob morphs. I remember one that had a dog dick morph and you could leash other players to you. Playerbase is a 50/50 split between kids spamming nigger and kids genuinely trying to have hot, blocky e-sex.
Years ago an admin streaming had some porn open in his browser or something. It was 2014 so I can't be bothered to find it, but people found it funny I guess.
The Roblox forums, which are now shut down, were an absolute HAVEN for drama and edgelords alike. (I could probably find some obscure stories on this, but my memory is awful)
Roblox became somewhat of a pit to explore with my friends despite all of us signing up so long ago because it's easy to run for those of us with shit computers, and ITS FREE!!
Kiwifarms Roblox meetup when?
I just removed a bunch of this post because I think it was too personally identifiable, sorry.

Oh man. I used to play phantom forces all the time.
Really fucking good gunplay and customization but you either pay to get the good guns of grind your arse off.
Was fun as hell customizing my guns to try and even the odds (My personal favourite was giving shotguns high accuracy so you could pwn people from way too far away and more ammo) but I knew when to stop.
It was also one of those games where you could just snipe and have a semi relaxing game with a podcast.

I would hate to see what people would pay for a Dominus.
I wonder what they are going to do about that; at some point they might just remove the search in an attempt to counter it (dumb, I know, but Roblox is known for that).
That was funny.
There was also the time a bunch of admins talked smack about Roblox when they thought they had ended a stream. Roblox tried to take down as many videos as they could if they talked about this.
There was ALSO that time Berezaa - a popular Roblox developer - had a pornographic link in his history while streaming.
Remember that time an admin said THIS?
That would be an interesting experience; I wonder if anyone here would actually want to do that. No need to apologize either; it is Roblox after all.Kiwifarms Roblox meetup when?

Too much. I feel like the valk is worth about the same as ones that sell for more on Roblox itself just because it's a hot item - you can't flash your awesome (money purchased) limited faces with a dominus, after all.
I had no idea about the other streaming events! I'm 100% unsurprised though. I wasn't on the forum for that post, but props to that mod lol.
(The personally identifiable stuff was only if you have known me outside of kiwi for a long time and it wouldn't matter in the long run, not related to my account or anything)
Here we go, have a screenshot.

Thanks. I've been on Roblox since 2008 and I know literally everything there is to know about the platform by now. My accounts aren't being nuked on the spot like they were in 2014/15 but I still get deleted every now and then. Some developers have even been nice enough to restore my data in their games every time it happens.
It's ridiculous how backwards Roblox admins' priorities are when they IP ban people who criticize them but let known child predators collect tens of thousands of dollars off of their website.
"Jadon Shedletsky," currently making thousands of dollars off of a Sonic fan game thanks to the Roblox Corporation.
