Are You Friends With David Baszucki? Here's How to Check

Who is David Baszucki on Roblox?

David Baszucki co-founded Roblox in 2004 with the late Erik Cassel and launched the platform publicly in 2006. He goes by a few names on the site:

• @david.baszucki — his current personal account, the one he posts from publicly
• Builderman — his original developer account, user ID 156, created on February 27, 2006
• Roblox — the official corporate account, ID 1, which has zero public friends and exists mainly as a system account

If you've ever wondered is Builderman David Baszucki? — yes, they're the same person. Builderman was his in-game developer persona for most of Roblox's history. The @david.baszucki account is the one to search if you want to find a real social path to him, since Builderman and the Roblox account both have very few or zero public friends.

So, how close are you to David Baszucki?

From the searches we've watched run on FriendPath, the typical Roblox player who has actively played for more than a year or two ends up between 3 and 5 degrees of separation from David Baszucki. That means: a friend, of a friend, of a friend (and maybe one or two more hops) eventually connects back to him.

A few reasons the number is so small:

• David follows and accepts friend requests from many active community members, especially developers and content creators
• Those creators have huge friend lists themselves (often near Roblox's new 1,000-connection cap, which was raised from 200 in 2024–2025)
• Roblox's social graph is densely interconnected — mathematically it would actually be weird for the average distance to be larger than ~6 hops on a network this size

If you're inactive, brand-new, or only friended a handful of people you know in real life, your distance might be higher (6–8 hops) or no path might exist at all. Both outcomes are normal.

How to find your exact path

FriendPath does this for free. Steps:

1. Go to the main site at friendpath.arbastro.com
2. Type your Roblox username into "Your Username"
3. Leave "Target Username" set to david.baszucki (it's the default), or use the dice button to pick someone else
4. Click Find Path

The search usually finishes within 30–90 seconds. You'll see the exact chain of people connecting you, plus a 3D visual of the friend network it explored. The site rotates across mirrored proxies for Roblox's API so it can scan thousands of friend lists in parallel.

A note about UK accounts

In 2023, the UK passed the Online Safety Act, which forced Roblox to hide the friend lists of any account based in the United Kingdom. If your Roblox account location is set to the UK, FriendPath won't be able to fetch your friend list directly — we can fetch your friends, but other UK-restricted accounts in the chain will be invisible. There's a workaround: search starting from one of your non-UK friends instead, then add +1 degree to the result. It won't be the absolute shortest path, but it's a close approximation.

Other famous Roblox accounts worth searching

David Baszucki is the obvious target, but the dice button on the main page picks from a list of ~3,800 prominent creators. A few people search for most often:

• RealKreek — KreekCraft, one of the largest Roblox YouTubers
• erik.cassel — Roblox's late co-founder
• Shedletsky — long-time Roblox engineer (John Shedletsky)
• TheRealShowSpeedy — popular streamer's verified account
• Forstaken, DenisDaily, Tanqr, iamSanna, Pokediger1 — veteran Roblox content creators
• Sebee, Friknob — popular modern Roblox YouTubers
• Linkmon99 — well-known for limited-item trading content

Results vary wildly. You'll often be 2–3 degrees from a YouTuber you've never met, but 6+ degrees from someone whose friend list is mostly real-life friends.
