Roblox Outage Archive

Hi! I'm the one running the channel. This was made to archive this "Outage" occurrence I've seen around.

I think between October 2009 and mid-2015, over 1,700 players had claimed Roblox went offline, but they could still play through unique glitches. Like spamming the join button or right-clicking the join button.

During these outages, the player would be alone. Most outages were about 2 days long, but some lasted way more. The longest I've seen is a year, from 2010 to 2011.

This channel & website archives these events, collecting reports, footage, and findings.

Anomaly #2 - Foreshadowing Models

First seen: November 09, 2011

Danger Level: Lethal

Description: This anomaly inserts models that foreshadow the player's death upon being viewed. The player is often represented as a pitch-black model with a white head, named 'DEATH.' This anomaly is considered an infohazard, and once it is seen, the fate of the viewer is irreversible.

Anomaly #3 - Flash But Worse

First seen: December 12, 2009

Danger Level: Mixed

Description: The player’s vision becomes distorted as their screen flickers uncontrollably. This anomaly randomly alternates between normal visuals and highly distorted, glitchy screens. During this time, the player’s in-game avatar may briefly glitch out of the game world, sometimes reappearing in random locations.

Anomaly #4 - JuydbfTylrRDyQFlmmREtnuFQ

First seen: Unknown

Danger Level: Mixed

Description: "JuydbfTylrRDyQFlmmREtnuFQ" or "Zach" is a floating, purple, pyramid-shaped entity with a metallic ring orbiting around it that inserts itself into random robloxians games. It has the effect of corrupting any video or screenshot that includes Zach, causing extreme visual distortion and data corruption. Despite this, it can form bonds with players, gradually reducing the severity of its corruption of videos over time. If trust is fully established, it gains the ability to communicate using TTS. However, only one known player has ever reached this level of trust. And it is unknown who. It is known that Zach is a intelligent being.
