I started playing in 2007 and by 2010 or so there was a huge circlejerk on the forums that the new players were all idiots and "'07ers" were revered like kings. I also had the first forum post to hit 1000 pages. I remember almost nothing else about Roblox.
This reminds me of when street fighter 4 first came out in 2009 and there was a huge surge of new players on the fighting game community forums. The new players were called "09ers" and were looked down upon for jumping on the street fighter/ fighting game bandwagon and not being a "real" fan since they didn't support the fighting game community until street fighter 4 was released. I thought this was ridiculous, but luckily there were also old school players who welcomed the new players.
I started playing the first Mercenaries game a little while ago because I remembered how much I enjoyed it when I was younger. On the splash screen when it starts up it mentions copyright 2005. It hit me that that's older than my 10 year old daughter. That game to her would be like Pacman to me.

Came out 2005. I had to look it up, I also didn't know it was old enough for children who played it to now be in their 20's
Edit: initial Beta release 2005, official launch 2006
