An extremely simple breakdown of Roblox April Fools 2012. Easy to understand( I did some light edits :P )
The admin panel was hacked into by Olixx and Davedog( who at the time was using former moderator Leeav's account. Leaav and Dave were friends. ) They did this by breaking into Are92's account, who was an admin.
2. Davedog broke into ANOTHER admin account( Stealth Pilots alt ) and gave the admin panel to Olixx. Oh yeah they also broke into JJX5X5 or whatever his name was? Olixx in question unbanned Minish and Dignity, and would start impersonating Minish. Notably, she would start donating tons of robux and purchasing a bunch of things.
Key details: Minish was NOT the actual perpetrator behind April fools. Olixx was pretending to be her.
3. From here, Olixx gave the panel to McNoobster, who gave it to Pheedy, who gave it to Are17(Are92, the admin, and Are17 are diff people. Are200 was an alternare account of Are17. )
4. McNoobster basically used the panel to mess with the catalog. He released a lot of unreleased backlog items and made that infamous “:)“ face that Stickmasterluke wore. He did try to release his own items but it didn't work cuz he couldn't whitelist it.
He also posted various banner shouts, kinda bragging about hacking Roblox?
5. Pheedy used the admin panel to mess with accounts. He also used it to remove admin from all other accs.
Are17, according to himself( in his alt acc ), did NOT actually do much in the Admin panel.
6. It is notable that they didn't just hack into a few random admins—they hacked into several admins much which are notable like the Roblox AND Builderman accounts. Even reesemcblox was affected—and they made her say HORRIBLE shit in the forums.
This is basically a summary of everything important that happened( aka everything you need to know about the event in specific ). BUT, for a longer and way more specific explanation, I recommend checking out this twt thread made by Dynabroth: https://x.com/Dynabroth/status/1907201449890873552?s=20
Their avatars:
from top left to bottom: Olixx, McNoobster, Pheedy, Are17, Davedog, and what was once Leeav's avatar during 2012.
Minish and Dignity, the two puppets:
Below, this was Minish's avatar during 2012.
Various pictures :P
For learning about the individuals in specific, I recommend looking them up in Froast.Archive :P McNoobster has two alts I know of( 123hiwatsurname123, and I believe he's Mcnoobster2G)
I'm trying my best not to spread misinformation so if anything here is wrong, please tell me( and provide proof its wrong ) and ill edit it.
Now go my little April foollings... go make your April fools design
Olixx, DaveDog, Are17, Pheedy, and McNoobster are the April Fools. In 2012, a massive heist had taken place on April 1st.
When the group was questioned, Pheedy replied “Great joke, right?!” in an attempt to not serve Banlands time, leaving their group in infamy.
Since paying back the hefty amounts of money stolen from Roblox, alongside community service, the 5 have taken a comeback as a circus troupe named after their incident.
Now, they’ve recently joined another group since the stunts Roblox has been attempting…
The April Fools are almost the exact opposite of the May Madness Trio, despite having such similar stories. The April Fools take themselves as unseriously as possible, and succeeded in not being stuck in the Banlands forever, while the May Madness Trio did neither of those.
