Stay Connected with ROBLOX Using Social Media

By -

Social Media IconsROBLOX uses a number of channels to give you a voice, listen to your feedback and help you network with other users. While the ROBLOX forums are (and will continue to be) a particularly popular and active place for ROBLOX users to chat, we also maintain a presence on three of the big social networks: Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. We can’t respond to all of the feedback we receive via those media, but rest assured that we – and other connected users – are reading your thoughts.

All of our social media accounts have been growing since their inception. Since new users sign up for ROBLOX every day, we invite those of you who are new to the platform to join us around the web.

ROBLOX FacebookFacebook

Since our last check-in, the ROBLOX Facebook page has grown from about 166,000 fans to 243,000 fans – or by about 46% (5.6% per month).

While our Facebook “reach” fluctuates based on activity and types of posts, we’ve had good success – and a really good time – making connections with ROBLOX users via questions, photos of ROBLOX and the ROBLOX HQ, and interactive posts, such as “caption this screenshot” opportunities. Our August caption contest, for example, reached 100,000 fans, making it one of the most popular in our history.

Not only that, but you get the most important ROBLOX news, straight to your News Feed. Like us on Facebook for daily updates from ROBLOX, and make sure to Like and comment on our posts to keep them flowing into your feed.

Here’s one area we’d like to improve. We have ideas for videos – more interviews with ROBLOX developers and more footage of upcoming features – but we’re also interested in hearing from you.

What types of video content would you like to see from ROBLOX?

If you have ideas, let us know in the comments. As for right now, you can subscribe to our YouTube channel using the button above so you can be among the first to see every new video we publish. Right now, you’ll find a mix of game reviews by Max Benedek, tech demos, interviews from the ROBLOX office and footage from events.

ROBLOX TwitterTwitter

We enjoy interacting with our passionate Twitter following, which is now collectively in hot pursuit of the 30,000-follower mark. Help us reach that milestone by following us today.


What’s cool about ROBLOX’s Twitter account is it offers the “scoop” on things that aren’t out just yet – for instance, we’ve recently shared a photo of Base Wars: The Land running on an iPhone and a glimpse of the then-unreleased new Catalog. We also share interesting tidbits and statistics. You’ll see some of them re-posted on the right-hand column of the blog, from time to time, but that’s only a taste.

We love getting Tweets from ROBLOX users, so keep them coming. If you already have a Twitter account and follow @ROBLOX, you can dig even deeper into the fascinating projects of ROBLOX developers by following our ROBLOX staff list.

Play ButtonAgain, we’re interested in hearing what kind of video content you’d like to see on ROBLOX’s YouTube channel, so let us know in the comments. Otherwise, we’ll see you — and talk to you — in the social sphere.

  3. I would like to see some more place reviews, beta videos, plugins, and maybe add a group of the month to the website.

  4. Idea:
    1: Just like facebook, allow people to connect their Youtube and twitter accounts

    2: Allow Embedded vids (only allow vids for people who connected their accounts with youtube AND the vid must be theirs)

  6. Make an official Roblox fan site! I don’t have a YouTube, Twitter, or a Facebook (because i am -18).

  7. The only social network I’d follow you on is Twitter or Google+… I don’t want my known social networks to be seen following you, no offence! I love this game but it’s embarassing IRL to be seen playing it at my age.

    However, I would love to see some more technical videos on your YouTube channel, as well as ones talking about upcoming features. No spotlights or reviews or anything that any other ROBLOX YouTuber could do, please!

  9. I’m sure there are quite a few (including myself) who’d love to see very technical videos of features in development… Ideas about where the features are going, technological challenges, the team’s ideas for solutions, etc. would be interesting to see.

  10. Hold on, wait a minute. Back in the old days, ROBLOX was more about creativity and building games. Now it’s just another social network. Some examples are the Favorite system (Similar to the Like on facebook) , the Feed (Also similar to facebook) and the Friends System. Now, ROBLOX mostly focuses on creating Hats, Gear, and Packages. What happened??

  13. Maybe short biographies about the roblox crew. Short videos so we can get to know them better. Their favorite hobbies, how they got in the industry and what they do at ROBLOX. Along with what their favorite ROBLOX item is.

  15. I would enjoy seeing some more behind the seems stuff. What’s coming out soon? How far along is the Roblox for iPad project, and can you post videos of it? What are some of the staff’s favorite games, and why? Can they review them?
    The possibilities on the YouTube channel are endless, really.

    • I would agree with you. Idk whats happening at the HQ but it would be awesome to know also get get to know the staff members more!

    • TM, you have tons of great ideas. I agree with you. ROBLOX should upload more videos about their favorite games, and basically everything else you said. It’d also be very cool if each of the ROBLOX staff, even the not-so-big ones (meaning not mod or admin, but interns, etc), can make some sort of video-of-themselves thing. Like, IRL Matt Dussek could make a vid and stay stuff like; “Hi, I’m Matt Dussek, (Insert job here). My fav games are _____, etc)

      • I agree, it would be nice to learn more about each staff member. And maybe they can make their own Roblox account.

    • They have one, but they don’t update on it at all.

      Last update was 3.0 Robloxian mesh.

  17. I stay away from FaceBook and Twitter. But I do have a YouTube account. ^u^

    I happily subscribed to Roblox’s YouTube channel. :-D

  18. I’m currently Following ROBLOX and Subscribed to ROBLOX but I don’t have a Facebook account because I shut it down due to being hacked, a second time. Because of not having a Facebook account, I cannot login to ROBLOX using Facebook. Read more: http://goo.gl/GWQyq

  19. Mabye a learner video for Starters? And a free Hat / gear / package if you are a Veteran?

  20. I can’t even do this! I don’t do youtube facebook or twitter. :( So I think that I should just post this: I think there should be photo albums for you to put your screen shots in. Because I take a lot of pictures and other people can’t see them. It kind of stinks.

  21. If you’re going to post stuff like this, just don’t. It’s great to hear how well Roblox is doing, but I can think of a billion more interesting blog ideas.

    User made game reviews.
    More interviews with popular users.

    ^ Stuff like that is interesting to the community.

    • No, variety is good on the blog. I would be appalled if all we saw were the things you mention. I like seeing technical updates, and social updates, which are a large part of the website now, should be here too.

  23. Great job Roblox! You have the most epic site ever created… Keep up with the good work!

  24. Can you confirm that you check the forums for feedback? (e.g. Suggestions and Ideas?)

  25. I think there should be videos of employees talking about stuff like this but still have a page like this to read.

  26. This is great… Except over half of Robloxians are like 8 and lie about their age so that they can “roblox facebook” and stuff.

  27. I guess this is why ROBLOX hasn’t had any new YouTube videos… I think it would be cool if you had some videos on groups, and and some more videos on forum and new ideas from ROBLOX users!

    Ps. I was talking about YouTube videos if you did not understand.

  28. ROBLOX, if you have nothing to talk about, don’t talk, stop posting these ‘filler’ blog posts

    • There are hackers. If you have a huge amount of users/community, there WILL be at least one hacker (more actually!).

    • It’s not as bad as it was a couple months ago, but there’s still some who can do some basic stuff.

  37. ROBLOX is definitely, without a doubt, becoming more social. Gaining more users and keeping in touch with its own.

  38. I don’t have any social media. I wish there was some other way I could keep in touch. :(

  39. As I suggested to Mr. Shedletsky on Twitter, there should be an option to connect ROBLOX to one’s Twitter account. There already exists one for Facebook, and since (from what I’ve noticed) there are a ton of ROBLOX gamers on Twitter, there should exist an option to connect ROBLOX with Twitter.

    • They should do that with youtube/google accounts too, because it is a pain to connect without a facebook. Contrary to popular belief, admins, not everyone has facebook. The more services that can be connected with, the better.

  42. I think on Youtube we should just film sword fighting, by putting the people who film in random servers.

    • That is Very True!They should have a ROBLOX app for my 3DSxl and other people with them.
