I'm bored, and wanna talk about it :)

People always say it is so bad, but I don't see it that way. WE make up the community. We can control the tone of the community. For me, the only reason the community would be bad, is because it's members think it is bad. When I ask people why it is bad, they say it's because of all the "Free model noobs and their free model front page games."

I agree, sometimes the games at the front page aren't the most sophisticated. Go play one of them though. There is probably a reason they are so popular. They may be silly, but they can be entertaining. Silly fun is good once and a while. That's why games come and go so quickly. They are fun for a while, but then it's time to move on to something else.

After doing that, I usually go and play a classic, or search through the scripters forum looking at the games people make. Often times I will come across a scripting /building masterpiece!

I guess what I'm getting at, is that the quality of the community is subjective. It is what you make it. You could look at the front page games as useless, or you could look at them as a way to tap back into that inner kid and have some random fun before moving on to something more serious.

What do you guys think?

Everything you say is true (all hail the gordon).

Also, I would like to add this: I may not play too many games, but people keep complaining that these kids copy everything. You know what? ROBLOX's source code probably has snippets from other projects the team has worked on. These kids are learning to become mature, responsible adults on this game, and complaining about how they act now may severly deter how they act in the future.

Also, we've ALL done bad things in the past. We look at these kids, and we want to immediately punish them for what they do now. They don't know any better. Heck, I have done things that I regret. Let the kids have their fun, and learn by their mistakes.

If somebody is copying parts of your work, it's probably because they see great promise in your ideas. Yes, you would like some credit, but you have published it out there.

I agree. It's all in fun.

Niker25, that may be so. I've been here so long now, and had so much fun here. An addiction is usually something that hinders you in life. Roblox however, has honestly enhanced my life. It's made me focus on my inner child and become more creative. Something I really really lacked previously.

I think it definitely varies. I've been to servers full of nice people, but then i've been to others where it was the complete opposite.

Roblox has enhanced my life as well. It taught me some basic computer skills, and now I have a temporary internship at Microsoft.

Ryano526, I have also seen that. I think it helps that we have such a large population now. If people are being mean in one server, it is easy to leave and join the same game, but in a different server. Hopefully your second try finds better people to play with.

Item comments are bad, but it's mostly those scam posts. I would like a news post, similar to the post about the pass scammer telling everybody how these comments are not real and won't work. Builderman has posted it in his status, but that doesn't work.

People need to become educated, and learn that these don't work. When that happens, comments can return to their actual purpose, discussion of an item.

Yeah being "addicted" to roblox hasn't hurt me much. It's actually kind of helped my life

@Gordon in HTML, it is quite easy to make it so that a user cannot go any further without reading a message. That would knock out 90% of spam.

Yes, that would be nice as well. Before they post, remind them that spam comments do not work.
