With the release of the HTTP Function in Roblox, why not also have Robloxians be able to have a small partition to put it on, with the size varying depending on the Builder's Club level somebody is at. Here is an example (Just an example) of the different sizes I was thinking of:

Non-Builder's Club: 0 KB
Builder's Club: 10 KB
Turbo Builder's Club: 25 KB
Outrageous Builder's Club: 50 KB

How it would work would be that when you go to your Account page, there would be section in it called "Storage". With that, you can access it by a MySQL kind of software through Roblox's website.

How it would work, would be that in the url value, you would put something like "http://www.roblox.com/account", and it would save it onto your account's data space.

By the way, don't say "NO SUPPORT!!11!!1!!" just because NBC's didn't get any space. You have to remember that it costs money to fund a game, and if every NBC had free space to place it onto, then Roblox would never have enough hard drive space.

"Roblox would never have enough hard drive space"
>My Hard drive without any items is 500 GB
>514,000 MB
>528,392,000 KB
>528,392,000 KB divided by 50 equals 10,567,840

If your idea became real, I could support 10,567,840 OBC members data

No support.
And it's not like every NBC knows how to use HTTPService.
Developers should be able to develop what they enjoy making no matter what.
Thus, ROBLOX does have the capable servers to hold all the space, even if a lot of people started using HTTPService.
Plus, 10 KB - 50 KB is very little space if you're planning on doing something big with HTTPService.

Did I not just say that the numbers were EXAMPLE, thus should not be 'Not Supported' solely because of the numbers? The suggestion is not the exact numbers, but the idea of having storage space on Roblox.

Also, you will be surprised how much space you can fit inside 10 KB.

Example?
Okay, let's say OBC members get 1 MB
That's still 514,000 members worth of space on my hard drive
and my computer wasnt designed to be a server host

Also, the reason why I chose a relatively small number is because Roblox should want it so that it will supply some space to get started, but when you get experienced enough to end up making any big projects, that you should have already been able to get it working on an external hard drive of some kind.

Also, when I said "would never have enough storage space", I was referring to the ever increasing number of NBC's. I was stating why NBC's got nothing while the Exclusive Members got space.

Well I like the idea.
Instead of allocating a set amount of memory for every user, why not make that space available for purchase using robux? That way NBC players aren't completely excluded from the use of that service, but BC/TBC/OBC would be able to get more and people who don't need it aren't wasting storage space - and people with big, popular games that are storing a lot of data would not run into a hard limit that they can't work around.

Even a rental fee would be great, since running a server is also a recurring cost like you've said.

That being said, I am not a fan of BC only features in general, and I think that BC only features shouldn't affect the developing games to such an extent. Some people can't host their own servers.

If it DOES get implemented, I'd like to keep the ability to use my own webserver. I don't want to be forced to use ROBLOX's memory if I already have my own.

I actually find it kind of funny how I stated over and over that the numbers is just an example, and the number wouldn't change the overall idea; yet you are here constantly harping about how bad the numbers are, and not looking at the suggestion as a whole.

@VolcanoINC;

I actually like that idea even more than my original idea of having a set limit.
The idea is solely for the people that can't support their own server (Just so you know, I can; I am not stating this just because I can't, because I can).

Just rent a server/host your own server like a "normal" person would. ROBLOX shouldn't throw in support for you to have storage on their servers, when you can "sort that out" yourself.

@Quorum:

If that is the case, then why isn't DataPersistance deprecated?

When something is deprecated, it means mainly because:

1.) Something better has come out that is more efficient than that.
2.) ROBLOX highly suggests using it will not help you much.

People make their own sites to call HTTPRequests to.
These sites aren't related to ROBLOX.
ROBLOX doesn't promote them.

ROBLOX can offer the storage to save HTTPRequests, and any information called from it.
ROBLOX has the capabilities to do it.
Otherwise they wouldn't even take out HTTPService.

Additionally, DP doesn't take up too much space at all.
Of course, with a lot of players, then the memeory usage gets higher and higher, but ROBLOX ---> CAN <--- Handle it.

We shouldn't be limited to what we can do when it comes to developing.
Otherwise the people who make this game better, would be leaving.

*sigh* You don't seem to understand what I am saying. I said that Roblox does not have to require the data to be saved on Roblox. I said that Roblox could -->OFFER<-- the data space.

I said OVER, and OVER, and OVER again multiple times that the numbers I used were examples. It doesn't matter if it was 50 MB, KB, or GB.

I really don't know how I can make it much clearer than I already have.

We're already given data space.
