Hello, some of you may know me, some of you may not. My username is bndan, as you can obviously tell. I’ve built for several successful groups throughout ROBLOX. Many of them are well known groups, such as The Vaktovian Empire, The Galactic Empire, Grand Army of the Republic, and more. I enjoy building for these groups and others like them. I like to see them get used by those intended. But developing things can also be hard. It’s extremely time consuming, and can pose quite a challenge in some situations. Developing a single thing can take hours, days, weeks, even months. Now what if I told you that all that hard and tiring work will one day be for nothing. What if I told you that one day, somebody would go and steal it and give it out to those who it was not intended for. What then? Would you just shrug it off like nothing happened? All those hours, days, weeks and months working on this one thing just get stolen in the blink of an eye. You’d be frustrated, wouldn’t you? Trust me, I’ve felt that frustration more times than I can count. My work has been stolen numerous times. Every time I build something and put it in a place or I give it to somebody and they put it in a place, it gets stolen. Over the course of this year, I’ve had over 200 helmets stolen and leaked. Overall, that’s about 2 years’ worth of my work. Of course, the leaker feels no guilt. They laugh and shrug it off as if nothing happened. They usually just sell it to the highest bidder or use it for their own purpose. It’s not theirs to sell or use, I didn’t make it for them. I have numerous friends who have had their own work leaked. I’ve helped them vent out their frustration many times. It’s painful for me. I cannot stand to watch others get their hard work stolen and leaked. Usually the response one would have to their work being stolen is to go have vengeance on the person who did it by stealing their work. This doesn’t solve anything; it just makes matters worse. A leak war more or less begins and before you know it everybody has all your work and everybody has all their work. What then? More of your work has been leaked that wasn’t leaked before, how does that make you feel? What we need to do as a community is to stop this altogether. We don’t need to steal to get things. There are plenty of developers out there who would be willing to help you out, or better yet, you could learn to build yourself. That’s how I started out, and look where I am now. I’m a successful developer who can supply myself with whatever they need on ROBLOX. Well, almost anything. I can’t script even if my life depended on it. I understand, somebody pissed you off. I know the feeling. That doesn’t mean you need to go out and leak their stuff. You can resolve the conflict in a civil manner rather than let the whole thing drag on for weeks or even months. Leaking or stealing something out of anger is childish and won’t solve anything. You’re making yourself look bad and in the end, nobody will like or trust you. If you all could actually use your minds and act a bit more grown up, that’d be nice. We all know ROBLOX isn’t going to solve the exploiting problems anytime soon, and reporting somebody will do absolutely nothing since they can just hop on an alternate account and continue doing what they do. So we need to come together as a healthy community and stop this. I know there are going to be people that will laugh at this or ignore it entirely, but hey, at least I tried to be the voice of reason. Thank you for your time.

TL;DR Version: People should stop stealing other people's creations.
Make a ROBLOX copyright thing!

| Cool, he builds for groups much bigger than that. Even though he isn't legitimately in some of the groups on this account, doesn't mean he doesn't help them grow by building them tech. |

| The sheer number of group members does not define its success. For instance, VAK has 158 members or so, but it is one of the most successful and well known military-genre groups on Roblox. |

Yup. I 100% agree, But I will say, one way to prevent people from stealing is to not let certain people have access to a team create, and just add their stuff in yourself. Also use FE. Anyway, yeah this sucks, things need to change |

I support your choice to do what you will with your life.
You were a great inspiration and great friend in a whole, your tech is quite amazing but like you mentioned this community is bound to get it leaked at times.
I as well know the struggle of making things, heck back in the day i would come up with nothing through days of trying to make something that looked decent.
Out of everyone on roblox, bndan i will always remember you i assume. |

| In a situation like this, unfortunately, your target audience will always fail to see your side of things, and will disregard this post and continue to do what they want. The most we can do is hope that karma is still # ###### |

| All the tech leak is also another reason why i try to slowly move away from the star wars genre. and slowly transition to my own lore and what not. |

| Only if those who leader work could understand the stress of making models. If they ever learn, I guarantee that they will begin to doubt their morals. |

| I support you on every bit said in this giant paragraph, I agree with everything, it seems you have been through some ruff times, but again, I agree, you can just shrug off someone stealing your work, it is very frustrating to work hours on end, just to get your work demolished, or published bye that group. Look at Heaven Login, he is getting all this hate, all because he made one mistake, copying someones build. That's something that ####### and Heaven have to deal with in a Civil Manner, it is nobody else's business. But, You'd feel the same way as ######## if you got your work stolen. Sad, angry at the fact that you worked all those hours for nothing, just to get your work stolen, I understand the pain, I have had a couple of my things stolen in the past, but that does not stop me from being me, or being a developer, sure it made me mad, but I put it all behind once the future came, and I was better at building, so yes, I agree with you one hundred percent. |

Agreed, it makes me so mad to my own scripts and models in other games or groups that I had never intended on sharing my work with. To add insult in injury, half of them will then insult my work despite using it for themselves.
It has to stop. I get that Roblox is a learning environment, and it's hard to enforce some things perfectly when providing an open system, but nothing warrants theft of what amounts to long hours of a person's work. |
