== History ==
The Roblox Forum Archive was launched in February 14th, 2018 by to archive the content of the Forums. The initiative was undertaken following Froast's dissatisfaction with Roblox's decision to not retain a read-only copy of the Forums. By August 2018, the archive faced potential closure due to high server costs resulting from the extensive database. Froast found themself personally covering server costs, as the funds from donations had been depleted. In June 2019, an opt-out feature for search was added to the archive in response to individuals abusing the search feature to harass others based on past posts. Later that same year, the website experienced a redesign and introduced additional features, including a time machine, keyword-based search, and an API for developers.
