Activity & password guessed[]
clockwork would become less active on the forums after January 2009. Many users on the forum attributed this to his employment with Blizzard Entertainment.[3]
On May 31, 2010, clockwork was password guessed by an unknown individual. The user gave up ownership of his groups[4], changed the titles of forum posts, locked threads and both made and unlocked stickies.[5] The account was quickly terminated.
On December 13, 2010, the account was reinstated and clockwork regained access to the account, where he was briefly active on the forums.[6]
On May 3, 2012, clockwork was compromised and his verified email was changed to blank@blank.blank. The account was seen in this game standing and doing nothing before it would be terminated once again. He would later be unbanned in January 2013.[7]
In March 2015, rumours began to spread that clockwork was compromised as users noticed he was selling some of his limited items.[8] However, SlingshotJunkie confirmed that the account was not compromised.[9]
In 2019, the account was used to test the functionality of UGC. It has remained inactive since.
C-Framed places[]
Two of clockwork's places, Duck and Satellite, are composed of numerous C-framed bricks. Many users believe that there are at least 200 C-framed bricks in each of his places and that it took him approximately a month to build both places. Some evidence points to believe that these were imported into Roblox through scripts he had created as well.
