Main Article: 2012 April Fools incident

Ellernate along with iTrapped and Caleb244 accessed the Admin Panel on April 1st, 2012. One of them created an account on a Roblox testing site under an administrator's username, copied the ROBLOSECURITY cookie, and used it on the main site to be in complete control of an administrator's account. From there, they caused havoc through economy manipulation, banners on the top of the website, hijacking more administrator accounts to spam the forums, and more.

Termination
On April 2, 2012, Ellernate was terminated due to his involvement in the 2012 incident. An unconfirmed alternate account he created after the incident named "Ellernatealt" made a Forum post asking users whether or not he should upload a 30-minute video of the admin panel to YouTube. This forum post is archived here. The account had also made the claim that the Ellernate account was Poison Banned, meaning creating new accounts would be impossible without a VPN. The account is still up as of February 2021, having been last online January 4th, 2021.Somewhere around April 2012, a video was uploaded of a user on a alleged Roblox admin account and Ellernate talking to each other using XFire. This video was taken down a few days later and was expected to be "gone forever". However, almost a decade later in March 2021, the video had resurfaced reuploaded as seen here. Despite the title of the video, Ellernate has confirmed that his old friend who went by "Twister" was using the admin account, and not a real administrator as seen here.
