--Script-- Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of the Robloxian. This week hasn’t been the most exciting to report on, but without further ado, here are the timestamps, and let’s jump straight into it.

First, let’s go over some of the more minor changes that Roblox has made this week, starting with the ad page. Once again, Roblox is pushing for more of their website to catch up to modern standards, and the ads page is no exception. As I’ve been saying for probably the past couple of weeks now, I’m glad that Roblox is updating their website, but I feel like there may be more pressing issues beyond just a UI from the early 2010s.

If you’ve been following me, Wolfvive, ElectronicDroid, Buildite, MikeTheRockstar or some other folks, you may have heard of the recent cancellation of the game Roblox Twitter Community, or RTC, Simulator. This announcement came after a series of increasingly tense events, which ended with the deletion of the discord server, the mass exodus of the development team, and just overall confusion about the ultimate fate of the project.

While I made a 2 hour stream talking about what I think went wrong and what I plan to do, I don’t think most people really have the time or interest in sitting through all of it. So, I’ll break down some of the bigger parts here. In terms of what happened, there was a lot of internal drama about a competing game, which, in combination with some other drama related to Wolf himself and not really the game, resulted in one of the developers leaking the group chat.
