In the next 30 days, ROBLOX will discontinue Off Topics. This is one of the biggest changes we have ever made to our platform. While many of you will not welcome this change, I know that many of you will be glad. I want to explain our reasoning here, and also share details of the process we will go through with this migration. .
We are removing Off Topics for a number of reasons. Although familiar to many of us, they are confusing to first-time users. We believe removing Off Topics will simplify our product in all areas, from the Forums to the Forums.
There will no longer be any fun bonus for logging in daily. As our platform has matured, we believe the reason to come to ROBLOX should be the desire to experience incredible things with your friends. We do not want to incentivize people to “forum” every day.
For our deeply engaged users we want to be able to provide more valuable rewards that are not directly tied to login. While we are going through this 30 day transition, we will be making several gifts available to our users based on their engagement. We will be announcing these gifts tomorrow on the blog.
There is another benefit to removing Off Topics, and that is it removes the incentive to create alt accounts. We don’t believe it makes sense to provide a post count bonus to having multiple accounts, as this drives behavior that is not at the core of ROBLOX Talk.
The impetus behind removing Off Topics is to make more money.
Users will have 30 days to spend down their Off Topic balances on commemorative OT items, user deaths, or to trade them using our ot trading system. In addition, ROBLOX will be awarding gifts over the next couple weeks. By completing tasks on ROBLOX, namely playing and creating, you will earn virtual items.
Here is a list of the current changes:
Developers will no longer be able to make update logs Users will no longer get to log in Price floor is lowered on forums to R$ 999 First gifts appear in the catalog shortly (future announcement)
After 30 days the following will happen:
User ads will be banned Users and developers can no longer sell items for Tickets. Items with a Ticket and a OT price will be available for the OT price. Items with a OTer price will have their price converted to Off Topic Off Topic will no longer be visible or usable. FAQ:
Q: I forum on OT everyday, what now? get a life Q: Will Anything Replace OT? the furry and 5naf forum will replace it Q: I have a business selling Post Counts on OT, will i lose this business? yes noob Q: OT status was rewarded to good posters, what now? idc Q: UR A NOOB RAWBLAX I QUIT YOU WANT MOAR MONEYZZZZ [content deleted] xd i just copied a post
