The End

I have come with sad news. Although we've been putting out a lot of posts lately, I am sorry to say that the end of the group is coming. But don't be too sad, I'd like to think of what I've accomplished through the years.

Interviews

I am more sure that we've been interviewing people before anyone else. Before THEM Magazines, before Roblox's new weekly interviews. Maybe we didn't inspire them to pursue interviews but I know that for a short time we were the only place to see a developer/Roblox admin get asked the simplest questions and get to know them more. Plus on top of that it showed anyone could get an interview with someone who is really popular in the community.

The Beginning

It all started out as a little story blog. Originally started by LordElastic, AnimalBot99, Animalzer0Alt9 and Uchennambachu just chatting back and forth and playing the role of characters we soon got into contact with Arceusinator. I believe me and Elastic were finding problems with hats and gear thumbnails and Arceus worked with the hats' thumbnails. So a few days later Elastic asks him if we could talk to him on Google Docs. I was all confused on what we could talk about. At that time we just wrote stories, what do we want to talk about with him? It soon turned into an interview. But not any type of interview; we just said whatever. "Hey, could you donate me Robux?" "Favorite animal?" In later interviews me and Elastic had this little competition. He liked the green banded top hat, I believe, and I liked yellow banded. So we would ask our guests "So, yellow banded or green?" Of course we'd both hope they'd say that color we like. Maybe one of them said yellow. But it was always great to have that little competition. We soon got more people to interview. We started to get big with the interview of JackInTheBlox. It was our first admin! We felt like we made it. Of course the questions we asked were all the same. Anything that came to mind we said. Soon we got to interview Merely & Quenty, at the same time. Two of the biggest developers. How much more could you ask for? But ever since then we haven't been able to top that. Interviews slowly went down, THEM Magazines came out. Don't get me wrong, I like THEM. Very professional and nice magazine to read. I even tried to apply for a job. I think you see how well that went.
Soon enough some of the other members helping to run this left. Soon enough it was just me running it all. I tried to keep this as active as I could. I must say I did a pretty good job. But now it's time to end it. I'll never forget what a great experience this was. The ROBLOX Archives will close on May 24th, 2017.

Until next time.

Interview with xTayyBlox


AnimalBot99-

Hello, what do you do on Roblox?

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

I do videos to youtube, I develop and I do graphics.

AnimalBot99-

Are you popular?

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

Well, I feel that I am but Im starting to be a little bit.

AnimalBot99

What types of videos do you do on Roblox?

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

I do Gameplay, Roblox Tutorials and soon I'll be starting to make some Timelapses.

AnimalBot99

What kind of timelapses?

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛

Kind of Building Timelapses

AnimalBot99-

Sounds cool. What types of Roblox tutorials do you do?

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

I do tutorials of how to get Hats from one of the Roblox Events. But I'll do more type of tutorials soon too.

AnimalBot99-

On the topic of events, what did you think of this year's egg hunt?

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

To be honest, this was one of the best Egg Hunt Event ever on Roblox.

AnimalBot99-

I did it outdid 2013's.
And I've loved 2013's for years now

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

It was also nice too.

AnimalBot99-

The building was just amazing.
I remember going to one world and thought "Am I still playing Roblox?"

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛

Lol yeah XD.
Animal, not to be curious but what one of the eggs was your favorite in the 2013's Egg Hunt?

AnimalBot99-

So far ago, and tell you the truth I played on my other account. Long story with that.
But just to remember, I liked the wizard egg. It seemed hard to get with how it would confuse you and such but I liked how it looked. Until it hatched.

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

Agree with you.

AnimalBot99

Anyways, back to you, did you like any other Roblox events?

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛

Yes, um. Remember that one that it happened on Halloween?

AnimalBot99-

With the trick or treating?

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

The Hallow's Eve

AnimalBot99-

Oh yea, I played like for like three days and gave up
I just remember endless roads since Roblox wanted to show off that expanded maps dimensions.

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

Mhm, Roblox is evolving alot and Events getting really more like, adventure type into their events.

AnimalBot99-

I think this event was so great because with all the others Roblox was trying to show off their new updates. Like smooth terrain + egg hunt.

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

Mhm.

AnimalBot99-

Which was last years.

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛

Yep.

AnimalBot99-

But the egg hunts are always great.
I don't ever remember hating one.

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

And always impresses us.

AnimalBot99-

What more fun is there than running after eggs.

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

I dont know you but im getting hungry talking about eggs. Lol.

AnimalBot99

Just you..
Anyways, since we shortly mentioned Roblox updates, do you have a favorite update?
Smooth terrain, global shadows, etc

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

Um yes, the constraints update.

AnimalBot99-

Which is just recent.

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

And the good of the constraints is that you can obviously make things that you wanted to do. Like for example a bridge that sometimes it broke with the old body parts.
And now goes good with it.

AnimalBot99-

Physics is fun to play around with.

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛

What about the old physics from like, Roblox 2006

AnimalBot99-

I wasn't here then.
I joined 2011.
I barely remember much from way back then. If you asked me how the old profiles even looked I wouldn't be able to say.
Which can bring us to a great issue with an upcoming update. I am sure you know of the new avatar update, correct?

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛

Yep.
That it will be now only one color for our skins

AnimalBot99

Which is the only problem with it.
Why do you think Roblox is doing this?

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛

I really dont know.
But, I think Roblox is trying to make like real life skin colors.

AnimalBot99

They could very well be, but it takes creativity away.

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

Mhm.

AnimalBot99-

Off the topic of that,

AnimalBot99-

What's your favorite Roblox game so far?

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

Except the clickbaits,
My favorite game on Roblox is Flood Escape.

AnimalBot99-

What do you like about it?

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

I like the way that the game is based of.(edited)
The maps, the gamemodes.

AnimalBot99-

That's good.
Any other things you want to tell us about yourself?

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

Sure, nothing. :p

AnimalBot99-

It was great talking to you.

♛ 𝓣𝒂_𝒚𝒚 ♛-

Thank you. :smiley:
