Hmm... I remember there was a desktop client for this before. I wonder where it went. Yeah, it doesn't work with Firefox. I'll try to figure it out later if I got time.

Hey this is really cool. It reminds me a little of Atmosphir, though you're not playing online cooperatively with other players in Atmosphir. This game is something I think my son will like especially if you can design levels to upload for others to play. I've just spent about half an hour, on and off, exploring the game and it's certainly worth checking out if you have children.

Hey "Lox", did you know about this game?? Do you speak "Robloxian"?

This is a great children's online game site. They create little lego creatures with clothes and build buildings and towns. They can create their own games. Free Games at ROBLOX.com

Here's a review from makeuseof.com Roblox - A Cool Lego-Based Free Virtual World for Kids

Parent’s – take note of this site. Here are some of the uber cool tools you can use to keep your wee ones safe:

* All in-game chat is filtered for coarse language. As the parent, you can control whether they can chat or use something called menu chat. It’s a list of pre-written questions and responses. The kid’s just choose them and that’s all the communication they are allowed.
* You can control something called SuperSafe Privacy mode for the kids too. What that does is block ALL text fields from accepting any input. So your precious one cannot put any personal information out there.
* As the parent, you login for them using your email account. That keeps you in control of their playing time AND adds another layer of security from weirdos.
* Most importantly, Roblox has a team of paid and volunteer monitors who pore over all chat logs and forum discussions. There is zero tolerance for course or violent language.
* The Roblox team provides tips for online security and recommends other resources to help you have a fun, safe time online.

With the ability to build games, sell items that they make and interact with other games, kids are learning priciples of programming, design, marketing, business and Math skills. I fail to see the downside to Roblox.

And it has a Wiki page Main Page - ROBLOX Wiki

Roblox is an free online Multiplayer game, where you play in user-created worlds with blocks. Unlike most other games there aren't any pre-defined goals. You are given a variety of objects and left to do whatever you want. With your free account, you get a Character and a Place. You can customize your place and character however you want, and visit anyone else's place as well.

There is one downside, I feel. It only works in Internet Explorer; not Firefox.
