I think this block was unfair because

  1. Nounblox is recreated from publicly obtainable frontend and unique backend legally remade.
  2. It uses no illegally obtained things.
  3. ROBLOX allows these types of sites and many exist to this day.

and besides, what did the domain ever do to other users or anybody in general? Nobody ever was being harassed on the website. In-fact, it was still in-testing so it would be unfair to shut it down now if we don't : even know its true intentions yet.

Exactly! Nounblox is a great project that uses nothing that is ILLEGAL. Other websites, such as Project Polygon, or Tadah, etc, have been allowed by Roblox and haven't been in any trouble. This is why I think this isn't a fair block.

this sucks, the whole community is freaking out, good job now you make us look like a fool.

    The only time ROBLOX took action against a revival is when a revival named Finobe was selling currency for USD. There are no USD purchases in Nounblox, and it falls under fair use.

    1985guyz The mod team must be mistaken about this. Everything on the website is made by us except for some minor assets like faces, or images from the client, which most of the images ROBLOX used with the client are stock images and are from asset libraries, this also intertwines with the assets in the client used, as almost all of the audio used in the client is stock from asset libraries as well.

      also im pretty sure roblox uses asp.net, which wouldn't work on this hoster. i know for a fact that this site uses their own php

      you have us all stressed. this was a really good project but it seems that your staff team is misunderstood

        wemz Wemz is right, everything here falls under fair use, most of the stuff made like rendering, php, website itself, is made by the creators of the site and not by ROBLOX.

          It would appear that the site is attempting to re-create the ROBLOX website from 2009. I believe that, yes, all code is PHP, not ASP.NET. However, the site does have a certain piece of software that is taken from Roblox Corporation, and that's their rendering software. So it appears this website does have some code, but most of this code is free anyways, as ROBLOX is a free game.

            McStealinYaBucket

            exactly
            anyone could legally make something like this, and several people do

            i recall seeing roblox's ceo endorse these types of sites (known as revivals) in an ask-me-anything reddit thread

            roblox allows these types of sites and many exist to this day

            ss-
            yes i do believe they use the rendering software, however, this is publicly available on many services such as archive.org and is not illegally obtained
            there are no known instances of roblox corporation taking down a site for using this software

            • ss- replied to this.

              there have been instances of people falsely claiming to be from roblox corporation faking dmca requests before (e.g. with rblxdev), but all of these instances were ignored and not acted upon and nothing happened, as roblox themselves did not make these dmca requests

              wemz Even if it is obtainable on the Internet Archive, that doesn't mean it's free software.

                you make a fair point, however i do believe roblox has never "sold" this
                after "revivals" became a thing roblox basically allowed usage of this software

                  McStealinYaBucket To add onto what I said, the icons used for the for show builders club icon, is made up of stock images from an asset library, which also falls under fair use and is not made by ROBLOX, along with many other assets on the website.

                  wemz Still, it shouldn't be a big deal if the site owners made their own rendering engine. I mean, if they could re-create an entire ASP.NET website in PHP, they should be able to make their own rendering engine easily. It shouldn't be hard to stop using the 1 thing still holding them back.

                  • wemz replied to this.

                    please do not lock this thread, as i've seen instances of you doing such before
                    we are providing solid evidence that the site in question did not use any illegally obtained materials nor was it harmful in any way

                    i really hope you understand this time
