...you might recognize my name. I am Henix Aurorus, a former frequenter of this game. Note former. You're probably saying, why former? This game is fun, and you should be playing it more!
...No. That's wrong. I've been a member of this site for 5 years now. And I have the intent to keep it at that 5 years, because it's not worth being here anymore. This game used to be great. I distinctly remember having a blast here when I first started playing. It was an incredibly fun game, building and playing. I could spend hours playing some of the games like Farm Tycoon. I vanished during the summer of 2008 briefly, and then left at some point in 2010 when I became more active on SMW Central. I came back briefly in 2012 in order to assemble a place for a sort of "review" of ROBLOX... that didn't exactly go well, so I left a little message in my blurb.
Allow me to explain a few things as clearly as possible. Let's start with the game. In the simplest terms possible, ROBLOX... is a buggy pile of code, and the problem is it's been that way. FOR YEARS. Connection bugs, fatal errors (in more ways than one), you name it, it probably has it. This game would make a very good candidate for the buggiest game ever. And that's just the beginning. Let's move on to the community. I'm going to be blunt here. The community is horrid. Yeah, I'm saying this straight to the community's face, because, unfortunately, it's true. Admittedly, this is a game meant for kids, but seriously. Memes, everywhere. Stupid, ancient jokes that people here refuse to let die. Not to mention the huge amount of not-very-intelligent trolls and the immature kids who believe the world revolves around them. Trust me, I've run into all too many of them. This community is also an excellent candidate for the worst on the internet. And then we get to the staff. Yeah. I'm going to be completely blunt here, too. You, staff. Yes, you. The greedy idiots on the other side of the screen. Yes. I JUST CALLED YOU THAT. Let's start with Builder's Club. Hilariously overpriced, stupidly ridiculous, and yeah, "outrageous" applies too. Pretty much every single BC member is a stuck-up kid who believes they're awesome because they got their parents to waste a bunch of money on a worthless premium membership. And let me tell you Shedletsky- that incident with Sword Fight on the Heights? Yeah. That doesn't help your case whatsoever. Your behaviour there was frankly immature, and highly unprofessional. Are you setting an example, or are you just in this for the money? And let's not even get started on the "moderation", note the quotes. Banning to protect your reputation (see below for why you can't do this here), banning for no reason, and doing a hilariously bad job at moderating comments. Seriously, are you moderators or lazy couch potatoes that are just in it for the money? (notice how many times I've said something associated with money)
Suffice to say, this game has taken a severe dive. In fact, it's not a game anymore. It's an unholy piece of crap that, frankly, needs to die. It's simple, really. All you have to do is, stop playing this game, and stop giving them money. Let the game DIE like it deserves, because let me tell you- this game is an insult to the entire game industry on a whole. So, please. Stop this. Stop funding this horrible game, stop playing it, just... STOP.
Oh, and by the way. Just for reference, if you make any move to delete this post, my account, or anything in that general direction, guess what you'll be doing? You'll be proving every single bad thing I've said about you and your atrocious game RIGHT. You'll be proving that all the staff wants is money, fame, and all that jazz. Let's face it. This "game" has gone on long enough. Go find something else to do that isn't ROBLOX. Maybe put that "creativity" of yours towards, say, airplane building. Who knows, maybe those planes will fly better than you.
And as for the fanboys/girls? Rage on. I dare you. |

....and this tl;dr crap further reinforces my point. I doubt any of you actually read the post to begin with.
Another issue: These forums are so hilarious stupid it hurts. If 90% of your posts consist of one-liners and your users are too lazy to read a less-than-1000-character post, then you're clearly doing something wrong. |

| I'll have you know I read the whole thing and in regards to what you said about the community, yeah that kind of stuff happens when people can hide behind a computer screen. The BC stuff is all about ROBLOX as a business. |

| It is pointless now, but not to where the point that you ignore it. This game may have it's ups and downs, but overall, it's a good game. The BC is not over priced at all. Just be glad it's more of a "Pay to play" situation then a "Pay money to get more stuff." It's only 6 dollars a month. Oh, and the "connection errors" is from your computer. You can go to any game and it will do the same. Don't go call us all "Trolls" when the real troll is you. |

And I believe this reinforces my "proving me right" thing. Congrats.
I believe this conversation is over. ROBLOX, go hit that shut down button. Seriously.
As a side note, have some wonderful words of wisdom:

I was supporting this until I saw this sentence: "Let it DIE!". Your telling us to just stop playing ROBLOX. But that's not what I'm gonna do. I wanna fix this. I have been trying but it never worked. I want ROBLOX to bring back the old site, or create a new site where you can play the old site instead of the new one we have today. I always wanted that. I remember rushing into my house after school every day to play ROBLOX and see the new cool stuff on the catalog, the old contests, but all of this is gone now. So I'm trying to fix this.

Oh, and another thing.
I'd like to point out that this crap has been going on for at least THREE FLIPPING YEARS. If there was ever going to be any improvement, it would've happened already.
As well, the calling me a troll emphasizes that none of you even understand the concept of "trolling". Unfortunately, that concept applies to most users here. I'm simply speaking the facts. |

You are just hating; i would advise to leave the website if you don't like it. Common sense, we don't ant to hear you complain as we enjoy roblox. |

| Look, if you want to get attention from ROBLOX, go tell them yourself through E-Mail instead of posting spam on this forum. It's common sense. |

I also feel the need to point out that the connection errors thing was an example, and not all of the instances were a computer thing.
And, a good game? HAH! What rock have you been living under? Have you noticed that over the past years the game has been littered with horrible remakes of games and all manner of over severely-less-than-subpar quality... CRAP? Seriously, if this were a good game, we wouldn't be here right now.
As for the BC thing, guess what. When you look at a premium comparison, if 90% of the Free column says "NO", you're doing something severely wrong. |

ROBLOX is after all a business and has to make profit, and I've been here years as well and it hasn't change. People complained about how the past was so much better years ago, and still do. You said you used to love roblox (Or atleast I'm assuming you did since you've been playing for 5 years) but the community has made it terrible. However, most of the internet isn't that different, and you should feel good that the game you once loved has an expanding community. I don't understand why you want a game to die because of you're opinion while there are so many others enjoying this game.
I honestly have no idea what you mean by errors, you might wanna check your internet connection about that. |

@SML, if you don't like roblox then leave. Simple as. Complaining to people who like it is like shouting at a brick wall, pointless. |
