Final Post

The staff of GRT are sad to announce that we will be leaving GRT to rot. Roblox News has been bought by JaredValdez4. The staff of GRT are slowly becoming inactive on ROBLOX, so there is no longer a point to this website. However, Shane and Erick from GRT will be working on a Video Game news site, instead of a Roblox one. I will post the link when I make it.

Thanks to our readers, and the best of luck to all of you.

P.S: It's just a coincidence that this was posted on April Fools. We are in no way joking. Farewell.

Another Water Prototype





 


   The bucket on the left has one hole, the bucket in the middle has two, and the bucket on the right has three. Because the left drains slower it fills up, the middle bucket stays the same, and the bucket on the right slowly empties

Roblox Lets Kids Build Their Own Worlds Online - Forbes

                     +     

A ROBLOX post was written on Forbes, an American publishing and media company also known as the Forbes magazine. ( Forbes Entry )

ROBLOX has surpassed Disney and Nickelodeon as the biggest entertainment website for kids. According to Forbes; Roblox had it's start five years ago and CEO David Baszucki (Builderman) says: it's been“growing like gangbusters ever since.”

 “A lot of the stickiness comes from the variety,” says Baszucki. “People are building fantasies, obstacle courses, and building games.”


Forbes author; Alex Knapp says "I started my own Roblox account myself to check it out, and I have to admit I can see why people get stuck." Stuck is used in this sentence meaning 'Addicted.'

 “There’s a building kit for simple games,” Baszucki explains. “But more advanced users can program complex things with our script capabilities, which is built on Lua – the same language used in World of Warcraft.”

 “We love the ads,” says Baszucki. “They’re funny.”

ComScore states that ROBLOX is ranked #1 entertainment site for kids and it's revenue has increased 75% year over year.
