My advice to the kids playing the game: pursue your curiosities. Everything you want to learn can be broken down into little pieces to make a seemingly daunting goal managable. After that, your success depends almost entirely on your passion.

Hey guys, coolboy10000 here. I'm 20 years old now, and I really can't believe that someone went back and cataloged briefly my time on ROBLOX. Really, I am flattered. While writing my resume, I decided to look up my old account, and this is what I found. Thank you to everyone who was a part of my time on ROBLOX and for continuing on coolboy10000's memory.

Since I left ROBLOX, I enrolled at University of Wisconsin - Madison pursuing majors in Computer Science and Math. It was ROBLOX that was the on-ramp to learning how to program when I was just 10 years old. I consistently credit my coding prowess to the early start that ROBLOX gave to me. I wish that after this many years, I could recover the account for all the work I had done contained in my personal Models, Places, Shirts/Pants, Graphics, Groups etc. for nostalgia purposes, evidence of achievement to potential employers, or even to consider developing again given how much more I've learned since leaving.

I write here only because I just learned that ROBLOX took away their public forums, which is incredibly shocking and dissapointing. It was on those forums that I learned how to program in LUA and become incredibly involved in the ROBLOX economy. A centralized hub of players talking about how they could make ROBUX modeled a free market economy which introduced and incentivized me to learn all the ways I could gain in-game currency. This incentivized me to learn how to program in LUA; design in Paint.Net v3.5.5 / Photoshop CS5 to sell apparel, advertisements and decals; and network with skilled users to create places, groups, trades etc.

Old friends: Find me on instagram: mattz608. I don't care that it's public.
