*sighs* ugh let's try to get through this as quick as i can. There are several reasons why this update is pure out stupid:

1: This is ROBLOX, not Twitter or Facebook or whatever Social Media crap there is.

2: Some new people will notice that their friends are gone and think they're just jerks that unfriended them.

3: Just look at the amount of Complaints on the Fourms

4: One of my regular friends which was transfered to my Followers Section Barely remembers me cause i'm not on his friends list.

5: Taking out Best Friends is a bad idea, now i can't seperate my friends from really good friends..

That not enough for you? Well maybe some commenter's will have something to say about this.

"1: This is ROBLOX, not Twitter or Facebook or whatever Social Media crap there is."

"make new friends" a quote from roblox."


"2: Some new people will notice that their friends are gone and think they're just jerks that unfriended them."

if they check the blog then the will know whats happening

"3: Just look at the amount of Complaints on the Fourms"

WAAAA I DON'T WANT CHANGE WAAAA!!

"4: One of my regular friends which was transfered to my Followers Section Barely remembers me cause i'm not on his friends list."

then send him a pm.

"5: Taking out Best Friends is a bad idea, now i can't seperate my friends from really good friends."

then put your "friends" in the "followers list", and put your "best friends" in your
"friends list". instead of slapping your "complaints" on the forums.

@Zyph,
1 - The idea of having followers, or even just a social following, has been around far longer than any social media website out there. Just because ROBLOX implements something like this doesn't automatically mean that ROBLOX is "morphing" into another website or what not.

2 - There was prior warning to this update, though it could have been distributed better. However, even if people were to lose friends, I'm pretty sure that the majority of them would either come to the forum or go to their friend's page and attempt to re-add them. Ipso facto, no harm done.

3 - Users who like an update have no reason to come onto the forum and post a ton of positive threads. The reason that the update looks so bad is due to the amount of people who are running to the forums to whine, whilst there are none praising it (because why would there be? Not because it's a bad feature, but rather why would someone waste their time to go "LOVE THE UPDATE!")

4 - This update occurred less than 24 hours ago. If your "friend" can't remember you then your "friend" wasn't a very good friend in the first place, and moving someone from one list to another shouldn't bring about amnesia, etcetera.

5 - ROBLOX added two new categories and people are literally losing their heads over it. Imagine how they'd respond to a having to deal with four different sections; OH THE HORROR.

Roblox, you've seen the negative feedback from this update. That's your cue to undo it.
I know, I know. That's not supposed to be suggested, but when a bunch of people really dislike it, and I mean A LOT of people, that usually means it wasn't a good idea.

I don't mind change its just I wish when ROBLOX implements changes it doesn't try to mimic other websites. A new friends list wouldn't be bad since the old one was kind of bland and now I can remove people quickly that I don't want as followers or me following them, which to me is the only positive change. But my advice to ROBLOX is to have original ideas that aren't effected by other social medias or what is "hot" and new. I don't like where ROBLOX is going. If the site is a building site why be normal? ROBLOX for how it advertises itself sounds like a unique place.

@Zack

This feature is not done JUST to mimic social media.

1. But it IS a game developing site where you people like to play cool games and know updates (that's why you follow Taymastar)

2. If they didn't bother to best friends them, they probably won't notice that those random FR people were missing.

3. Forums = .05% of entire ROBLOX community. Forums = 60% of .05% complaining

4. Okay? We don't give a daman.

5. Why bother friending random strangers that you don't even talk to?




Go troll in OT.

@reptile "go troll in OT" so apparently giving out my opinions of an update is trolling.

Followers: people who enjoy your work and want to see the latest update
