JustKidFun

From Roblox Off Topic

JustKidFun was a generic Roblox clone site that became the infamous target of one of the ROBLOX community's numerous raids on "copies" of the eponymous block game. The raid began on the morning of June 4th, 2010, and ended up persisting all the way in to June 5th thanks to the unity of the community in taking the place down. The raid ended up being one of the largest in the whole history of ROBLOX and OT, second only to the many, many raids on Blockland through 2007 and 2008.

How the JKF raid began is lost to history, but it quickly unified the entire community, from Off Topic to Roblox Talk to even Clans and Guilds, and before long literally every forum on the whole of Roblox was involved in the action. As such, within hours of coming under fire by Robloxians, the site was forced to close its doors because of the put out a statement about it, saying "We never wanted this, we will not allow it [Robloxians] due to the majority of spam generated from the cold, hard members there." This did not stop the torrent of hatred and shortly after, legal threats, they were getting from Robloxians however. Thus, they then put up a page (that lead nowhere) which required you to input a code to access the site.

About this point, the mods began to crack down on mentioning the eponymous JKF. As the shitstorm began to intensify to its climax, users began to get reminded, warned and banned for the mere act of even mentioning it, or participating in the threads surrounding it. This was how Kianan met his end, along with several other OTers who have been lost to time. Nevertheless, the forum continued to be inundated in threads about JKF and destroying it. In fact, about the time the chaos reached its stride, JKF was bombarded by a Roblox-coordinated faux-DDoS by way of people mashing the F5 key and refresh bots. The site promptly went down several times.

The actual climax to the drama was when bannana972, who had been promoted on the site, took it over and put up a poll to decide whether or not the forum should be obliterated. The votes were almost unanimously in favor of destroying the site, and so on June 5th, 2010, JustKidFun was permanently obliterated.
