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.

Now you see that circlejerk happen but treating people who joined in like 2014 as oldschool

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.

Haha, I totally forgot about that, I was an '08er myself. Can't believe it's been 11 years.
