Roblox account[]
The david.baszucki Roblox account was created in July 2004. The join date is February 27, 2006 instead of July 2004, due to an oversight with how information regarding join dates is displayed on the frontend. The account's original name was David.Baszucki, but was adjusted to be uncapitalized in 2009.
His account was the third made, erik.cassel's account being fourth. The account originally had the ID 3, but was changed in 2006 to ID 1, then was swapped with the newest account at that time in 2007.
david.baszucki is one of the only eight users with a period in his name; the other seven being erik.cassel, Predator.John123, YUKI.N, foot.longer, Mr.Dog, Mr.CoolRobloxPlayya101 and mimi._.2121.
