tl;dr: Allow developers to create message boards for their own games.

Now I know there's a chance this has been suggested before, but I didn't find anything like this with the search function, and I do not have the patience to wade through so many suggestions (of which a large percentage are probably WNTS/trolls) just to see if someone has come up with something similar to this.

Now, on to the actual suggestion: Sometimes you need a place outside your game to discuss it. While forums are already provided for that, it's easy for your thread to get drowned out in the thousands of other threads. If only every popular game had its own subforum...

My suggestion is to allow developers to create forums for their games. These would be connected to the game itself, instead of the main forums. (Forum rules would still apply, of course.) Perhaps even allow developers to edit/delete posts within their own forum, and/or to grant friends access to do likewise. (Naturally, abuse of this privilege would get the abuser in trouble.)

Now I know forums require costs to maintain. Personally, I think Tix would be the best route because, since each hit on any game yields 1 Tix for its creator, it would allow even popular developers who don't further monetize their games to have this ability. On the other hand, I understand that the ROBLOX admins may prefer the use of Robux, which tend to measure up more easily to the IRL costs of running these forums. In either case, the developer's account would either be charged Tix/Robux each month to maintain the forum, or need to renew manually. Cancelling the forum service for a specific game, or making the corresponding place inactive, would result in the forum being locked in a read-only state.

This would have benefits all around the board. Players and Developers would be able to communicate more easily, giving both sides much-needed feedback. Admins wouldn't have to sort through as many threads in ROBLOX Talk. (I'm NOT saying this would be a perfect solution to all the problems in the main forums, but it might help. I mean, when you have four MILLION threads in a forum, even the littlest alleviation is useful.)

Comments, questions?
