Brief Overview:
RAR-002 was a dangerous, partially physiological and hardware-affecting anomaly that appeared in clients
starting in atleast 2009. RA-002 would become more dominant following the addition of stencil shadows in
2008-ish; it was completely netrualised on May 29th, 2014, when stencil shadows were removed. Older clients
have been patched to remove stencil shadows, however ORRH, a client launcher has re-implemented them, and
could potetionally be affected by RAR-002.

Description:
RAR-002, also known as the "The Shadowman" or simply just "Shadowman" was a dangerous, physiologically-distressing and hardware-damaging
anomaly that first appeared in clients sometime in early 2009.
RAR-002 was described a shadowy figure, but has been disregarded due to the fact that when the player was deleted and kicked from the servers, the shadows
would glitch out where the player once was, meaning this "shadowman" is likely not actually RAR-002.
The actual reason of why RAR-002 exists has yet to be discovered.
The first known mention of RAR-002 was
on July 6th, 2009, when user [✱✱✱✱✱✱✱]
posted in General Discussion asking:
"Hey guys. No stupid creepypasta here, but if you dont believe me i understand - i was playing SWFOTH last night when my game froze up and disconnected
me from the server. But my playermodel was missing, and the game was still not responding. Shortly after a loud screeching of some sort of audio began
playing from my speakers, but i couldnt disable it. A forceful shutdown of the computer didnt even do anything. I just had to unplug it from the wall
and restart my computer, but when i rebooted it.. well - It was gone. My entire computer refused to boot - it was bricked. I had to get a new harddrive.
Im serious. I'm not playing when i say this - what the hell was that? Is that some sort of bug?"
Recovered, netrualised photo of RAR-002
in its early stages.
The detailed properties of RAR-002 arent well documentred, as activation of RAR-002 was extremely rare when it was active, but its known phases include:
deleting the player and kicking them from the server, corrupting the client file, deletion of system files, BIOS deletion and severe physiological distress.
with people affected known as RAR-002-A. RAR-002-A's existance is often debated, as most people affected by RAR-002-A's
property had some sort of mental disorder or physiological distress prior to being affected by RAR-002-A, but investigation is ongoing to RAR-002-A's existance.
Although unconfirmed, RAR-002-A has also believed to have been responsible for atleast 2 self-inflicted fatalities.
Despite RAR-002's harmful hardware affect, there is no effect on the users ROBLOX account as a whole, and it will function
as normal when logged into.
Screenshots of RAR-002 are known to cause mild physiological distress, and any sort of evidence, whether it be video, audio or another form of
data containing RAR-002 are discouraged of being spread. There are a few known ways to netrualise this affect; such as injecting random HEX code into parts
of the file.
RAR-002 was likely completely netrualised on May 29th, 2014 due to a new lighting update which removed stencil shadows. No new cases of RAR-002's affect have
been reported since 2014. Any old clients that used stencil shadows have been disabled, except for ORRH, which recovered the feature of stencil shadows and
could potetionally be affected by RAR-002's affect.
