The saying "Blame John" seems to have stemmed from an implication that Shedletsky potentially has some godly control over the website and can inadvertently wreck any sort of havoc on the website. As such, the saying was often used to jokingly place blame on Shedletsky when anything goes awry, and particularly when a botched or unpopular ''Roblox'' feature releases on the website, client, or [[Roblox Studio|development studio]]. |
