Anomaly #0034

Anomaly Surname: "ForumID 34"

Anomaly Type: "Infohazard (Nullified) - Anomalous Webpage Event (Former)"

Risk to Users: Safe

Anomaly Status: Nullified

Anomaly #0034 was a hidden forum page under the "Official Announcements & Rules" category on the Roblox Forum. The page itself, while not accessible under typical methods, was able to be viewed if the user manually changed the ForumID value to '34' on any URL linking back to the Roblox Forum which contained the value. (Refer to Addendum A)

Public archives show Anomaly #0034's forum page was created as early as May 2009. Current census by the #0034 R.A. Investigative Group theorizes that the page was originally an oversight in how new forum pages would be automatically created, being further corroborated by the introduction of a beta-release automatic chat filtering system at the time.

The first threads posted to Anomaly #0034's webpage were created on 05-06-2009, following the page's discovery by an unknown forum user.

For most of its limited existence, Anomaly #0034 was cited as displaying visual bugs to users who interacted with it through posted threads; primarily in the form of missing buttons, UI, or attached user character previews.

A more frequently used exploit by users interacting with Anomaly #0034 was the lack of chat filtering in threads, allowing users to post threads, replies, and messages with no restriction on language or characters.

On 07-11-2009, a thread was created on Anomaly #0034's webpage titled "ForumID=34". Contained in the thread was a single message by user 'test' which contained an embedded link. Upon clicking the link, users would be redirected off of the Roblox Forum page and prompted with an image; the exact description of what it contained being unknown as of writing.

Per census by the #0034 R.A. Investigative Group with currently available evidence and understanding, it is theorized that the viewing of this page would of enabled a script injection that would infect the user's PC with code relevant to Anomaly #0034-1. This is currently speculated.

After the publication of the 'ForumID=34' 07-11-2009 thread, Anomaly #0034's webpage would replace all previous user-made threads with copies of the 'ForumID=34' thread. The entire webpage would be quarantined in the following hours by site admins, including all affected articles being content deleted. A series of threads would be posted and pinned by MrDoomBringer on 07-12-2009, advising users who found the page to not post anything on the forum, banning users who continued to do so.

Despite the quarantine, the page would continue to remain up as late as January 2010 due to possible internal conflicts with the site's beta-release automatic chat filtering system at the time. By February 2010, Anomaly #0034 would be nullified. (Refer to Addendum B)

Anomaly #0034-1 is a humanoid entity closely resembling a standard DynaBlocks beta-release player model. Further descriptive analysis of #0034-1's appearance can not be elaborated upon further without the risk of a server-wide data breach. Additionally, every possible effort should be made to prevent the creation or discovery of additional #0034-1 instances.

The first publicly recorded instance of Anomaly #0034-1 was brought to the attention of R.A. affiliates following the discovery of and reaction to Anomaly #0034's 'ForumID=34' thread. Research conducted by affiliates Joeytheman0519 and GreenFish through public forum investigation and private user testimonies would come to the following conclusion:

Users affected by the link produced in the 'ForumID=34' thread would post publicly that they had seen a "off-putting", "creepy", or "weird" character while in game, proceeding to still see the aforementioned character outside the client.

General consensus between affected users report seeing the character in ads, banners, videos, and other forms of media outside of the Roblox website. During one interview, a user reported that they had continued to see the character "lurking around every corner, just out of view" in places they would visit physically. (Refer to Addendum A)

Out of 26 infected users surveyed by Joeytheman0519 and GreenFish, only 2 would continue to be online beyond the 1 month surveying period. Both were later terminated by Roblox staff for unknown reasons.

Following surveying as of June 2010, all monitoring and documentation of Anomaly #0034-1 is conducted by the #0034 R.A. Investigative Group. Additional information will be added to #0034-1's article if deemed necessary for public safety by Group personnel.
