Uses for finding catalog data and other item data without putting it in game and constantly updates instead of manual updates.

Ex. Catalog Heaven, Trade Hangout already use these methods.

Can we make posts? Like, adding an ingame favorite button?

Or better, a way to have 100k robux "disappear".

If we can make auto-forum-posts, can't we really just make a game that redesigns the forums to make them not look so outdated and weird?

You could probably use the HTTPService to make a button for favorites, but I am not sure as to what it will narrow down to. Only HttpGet and HttpPost probably.

- apis
- saving places online (so building w/ friends is once again possible)
- logging server errors

@SpaceK;

I have a free model with a nice little function to get the username from an userId. You can use that instead.

But yeah, external database-stuff, DP across different ROBLOX games and much more. In-game friend lists, chat logs, trading systems, leaderboards and much more persistent over multiple games, servers, which can get changed while player is not in game. Woo!

That's even ROBLOX Universes, Server DP and much more compressed into ONE FEATURE!

- better admin system
- IRC in ROBLOX (I wonder how that would work out... maybe ROBLOX should give us TCP/IP and UDP/IP too)

Another idea!

- roblox-ception (aka ROBLOX inside of ROBLOX, with HTML and CSS parsing.)

And another!

- Plotting people out in a place (basically, you use HttpService to send data to a server which crunches numbers and when a client goes to a website, they can see the position of everyone in glorious 2D)
