I've never posted this idea of mine for the nearly 6 years I've had it and I'm just done trying to do anything with it.
Master Pages.
I might as well explain it while everyone is up in arms about a new layout.
My idea was simple: people only saw what they wanted to see and didn't see anything they hadn't wanted to.
Adding pages that are tailored to your likes and dislikes has been an idea of mine (more like obsession that I've had) for the past 6 years and I just can't do anything more with it. I'm done trying to write up a complicated summary of things and all the little ideas I had. So, you take it and do what you want.
Master Pages are pages on Roblox that essentially already exist. These are the default pages that appear when you click the Forums, Games, or Catalog Pages.
Lets start with the Catalog. As it is currently, the items in Master Page of the Catalog are Recommended by Roblox. While this is nice to see, you notice after a while it is all the same stuff. A "Recommended" page would be great only if it wasn't the same stuff all the time and it was actually tailored to what you wanted to see.
Add a Like and Dislike button to catalog items. Simple, yet effective. Roblox, you said you wanted to improve the quality of items in the catalog with the Price Floor. Completely understandable if it weren't for the fact that it can't be the same catalog for every person. Quality is in the eye of the beholder. What you want to do is make it so each individual sees things in the catalog that relate to their own personal interest.
With the ability to Like and Dislike items, the Master Catalog Page should be able to show you thinks that you have liked in the past such as creations from content creator's stuff you've liked before.
Better yet there should be actual genres and tags for catalog items. I know you wouldn't want to go back through all 6000+ some hats to add tags but that's what the interns are for, am I right?
All jokes aside items that are of the same genre and type of items that you have liked and purchased before can show up in the recommended section. So, if you have been going around and giving a thumbs up to Pirate Clothing, it only makes sense to me to see more of that in the Recommended Master Catalog Page. It's what you like. It should be personalized to fit what you like to see.
You can still maintain all the features of the catalog that people enjoy but the only way you are to raise the quality of items is to have the community decide what they like and what is bad. Like I said, it only makes sense to me to see more of the things you like and less of what you don't.
Same goes for the games page. Of course keep the ability to see all of what is currently able to be seen but add to it with personalized results. If your favorite games just so happen to be war games, shouldn't you see more war games on the game page?
Onto the forums.
Lets not get too crazy here. A simple button toggle for Standard and Personalized would keep people from getting too upset.
If you do most of your foruming in S&I you should see S&I at the top of your forums. The places you rarely or never go should be toward the bottom. This brings me to the final part of this: your Home page.
Who are you? Do you love to make games? Make clothing? Forum? What do you do? Socialize? Are you a master of the groups?
Whatever it is you do should be right there for you to do as soon as possible.
Did you get new posts on your forums? Sure. On a forumer's Home page he or she would have a list of recently active threads he or she has participated in.
The possibilities are endless, yet my time severely limited.

but seriously, support. customization make everyone happy. from a simple "normal or custom" to "coding your own sub-website" it sounds like a good idea from all angles.

If any online website/ community were to be the role model in completely free open-world customization, i'd think Roblox to be the one.

| I've been sitting on updating this idea for several months now but for now I'll see if a simple bump will suffice to spur people into action. |

One of the best ideas I've ever read.
A like and dislike for items on the catalog? That's a stunning idea.
The button for the forums is also a great idea.
Master pages should be implemented to make it easier for players to just go where they want to go without a bunch of things in their face.
Support.

| It was an odd glitch with the forums from what I can tell. Doesn't seem to be acting up now, but regardless this needs another bump. |

| Just because something appears long does not mean that you are incapable of reading it. In fact this can be read in the same amount of time that it probably took you to make that comment. It's not that hard to read things once and a while. |

| Decided to read because it seems like you find to way too hard to simply make a shorter paragraph that's actually directly to the points. |

Each paragraph in the main post is a direct point. I don't know how to be more direct than that without making it look like I didn't even care about the topics I was suggesting.
I wouldn't just make a bulleted list of random topics and expect people to get inspired about that. Those are just words without meaning behind them. You have to be able to explain the idea with a little more and others have to be willing to read them. Part of the reason why the forums don't achieve what they used to is that the community has given up caring about what they post. |

This thread contains several values that I personally agree with. However, knowing how stingy the moderators can be, this should also be posted on the "Suggestions & Ideas" subforum.

| I realized this should have been posted in S&I back when I posted it nearly a year ago. If it gets moved there that'd be greatly appreciated. I'd prefer that than it getting deleted altogether. I've just bumped it here as of recent because I was considering redoing the whole idea and fleshing it out a bit more. |
