LeakBLOX Shut Down - ROBLOX

It was announced today that the popular twitter account LeakBlox, which leaked pictures of ROBLOX items that were not yet released, has shut down. It comes after the account rapidly gained thousands of followers, many of which followed the page to try and discover what prizes would come out of the gifts during "Giftsplosion" 2014. After getting an e-mail from ROBLOX regarding the information he posts, the creator of LeakBlox, NewYearCountdown (who is now banned from Roblox) chose to stop posting onto the twitter account. Here are his last tweets on the account:

The creator of LeakBlox continues to post tweets on his other Twitter account, @brassrhino but for now LeakBlox is inactive. Many people are unhappy that Roblox got so angry about a relatively minor thing. The account only has 2,300 followers and not all of the leaks he posted ever came out. The leaks that were released often were often on the Roblox catalog within 24 hours after he leaked them, so many people would not have had time to see the leak in the first place. It was not as if LeakBlox was ruining Roblox, nor was it making any money for it's creator or causing Roblox to lose any. Many people saw it as being harmless, however Roblox were unhappy with the twitter account and have acted on it.

Here is a picture taken from LeakBlox showing a leaked item that was released onto Roblox.

If any more news comes out from this story I will post it on this blog, so stay tuned.
