The Bchatterbox, (also known as Bubble Chatterbox, Dchatterbox, or Dialog Chatterbox), is a telecommunications technology jointly invented by the members of the Bchat Barons in January 7, 2026 and aimed at Robloxians who refuse to give in to age checking technology vendors partnered by the Corporatist Party in the wake of the Age Checks for Communication Executive Order. It allows Robloxians to communicate using holographic bubbles containing text that can be visible to any Robloxian, even those outside of their age group. The technology was later deprecated on June 2, 2026 due to the revocation of the executive order.
History:
Artist's conception of the chestnut bun (derogatorily, acorn hair) sent to the Bchat Baron Island.
The Test (Does it work?)
After the joint invention was successful on the same day they announced they will be inventing it, they picked a chestnut bun in Robloxia who preferred to remain anonymous to avoid sparking the process of technological reproduction in the Retroslop Annihilation Federation and the banning of the technology in Robloxia and sent her with permission to Bchat Baron Island, a buttermilk limestone artificial island within Robloxian waters with a sand violet metallic concrete gravestone was erected as a memorial and tribute to the end of 20 years of Corporatist Party enabled communication and is currently being littered with flowers located at the center of the entire island with a sand yellow pedestal made out of cobblestone. They then told her to use the new technology to chat. Upon seeing the holographic bubble which said Thanks!, they realized that their invention had worked. As a result, this technology was mass-distributed, but the technology was to be maintained inside the island due to it being copylocked to the fullest extent of the Robloxian law. As a result, they have decided to give this technology to any Robloxian above the age of 13 who chooses to stay on the island, and upon leaving the island, they must return the technology back.
The Second Test (Will Bloxman care?)
To see what Corporatist Party is doing, they intentionally kept the island unguarded to see if the Robloxian government would ultimately find the island and demolish it. As of January 9, 2026, there has been no word from the Robloxian government authorizing the demolition of the island and the banning of the technology, and Robloxians to this day who choose to stay in the island and promise to test the technology at least once a day are referred as the Bchat Testers as a demonym and the Bchat Barons are referred to those who actually invented the technology.
The Third Test (Is it safe for Robloxia?)
On January 10, 2026, the Bchatterbox technology was tested in a third test. A Bchat Tester would try to use the technology to say something that would not be approved by the Robloxia Country Standards. The question presented to the test is that whether or not it would actually filter that thing, in accordance to the Robloxia Country Standards that require all communication methods to be filtered before it can be executed. Upon revealing that it filtered that thing and executed it, the Bchatterbox technology has verified that it is able to meet those communication methods.
Future
It is possible that Bchatterbox might be able to have a Bchatterbox Voice Mode which will convert the Robloxian's text, appropriately filter it, change it to English phonemes, play appropriate English phonemes according to an audio file which is proprietarily included into the file system of the Bchatterbox, and combine them to make it seem like Robloxian is speaking alongside the holographic bubble that is output. Upon release, it will be possible to disable the tentatively titled "Bubble Mode", and require that at least one mode be turned on. Experts say that this technology, once released, will allow Robloxians who prefer not to age check to unlock the right to use their voice to be able to use voice to communicate.
About the Technology
Default Settings
The technology by default generates institutionally white colored holographic tailed bubbles above the Robloxian body with a transparency of 0.1 with medium brown text in Builder Sans size 20 weight medium. It also makes it seem like a Robloxian's root part is talking. Those holographic bubbles appear for 15 seconds before disappearing. An alternative way to make a holographic bubble disappear is, whenever there are three holographic bubbles existing at one time, proceeding with the creation of an additional holographic bubble; this will make the earliest holographic bubble created disappear, creating what data structure scientists call a first-in-first-out (FIFO) queue of length three. By default, a Robloxian with 20/20 vision will be able to discern the text in the holographic bubble up to a distance of 40 studs (11.2 meters), and the holographic bubble itself up to a distance of 100 studs (28 meters). Finally, there is no vertical studs offset. All of the settings described above can be changed by referring to the documentation.
Documentation
According to the documentation, the font can be changed to use any font available in the Robloxian marketplace. It can be bolded, italicized, or both. The weight can be changed to thin, light, regular, medium, semi bold, bold, and extra bold. The size can be changed to any positive real number between 1 to 100 inclusive. The part that appears to be talking can be changed to any body part of the Robloxian. The time the holographic bubbles take to disappear can be changed. The spacing between two holographic bubbles can be changed. The length of the FIFO queue can be changed. The distance needed to discern the text in the holographic bubble and the holographic bubble itself can be changed. Finally, a vertical studs offset can be added. The key to open a text box can be changed. All of the changes can be done in the Bchatterbox's graphical user interface (GUI). The color of the bubbles and text can be changed. Whether a bubble chat is tailed or not can also be changed.
GUI
The technology's GUI is simple and contains a touch screen and a keyboard. A Robloxian willing to use Bchatterbox on its default Bchatterbox Mode first can touch or press a key on the keyboard to open a text box, allowing them to the type what they want to chat before pressing the ENTER key. In Bchatterbox Settings Mode, the settings in Bchatterbox can be changed (See Documentation).
Concerns:
This technology is so powerful that it makes any Robloxian wearing the technology enter a social hangout. As such, the Robloxian government has authorized the usage of such technology to 13+ Robloxians.
