So I was looking through some of my old usernames and their respective counterparts (Roblox apparently does not allow me to say the actual word but you get the point) I kept from when I was a kid (I started when I was in fifth grade so I could get into accounts later on) and I found this site called 'Roblox'. I had no idea what it was, other than speculation, and I decided to find the website.
After logging in, I found I had played one game, which happens to be the old automatic game they gave to users: a blank grey base plate on a world.
I never really knew the community of Roblox back then, and I never played it after that day, I have three badges from playing games today and yesterday, and the only items I have is the old Roblox hat, a 'Bloxxer' t-shirt (which I quite like more than some T-shirts I have seen in the store), and the verified hat because I verified my email yesterday.
The Roblox community now seems a bit disconnected from each other. I, so far, have seen many people all wearing the free stuff and don't customize their character (classifying them as noobs but at the same time I can't complain), as well as people who buy the 'builder's club' so they can purchase every single thing they want.
Here is the problem I see. Everyone is complaining about the new people who join Roblox, because they have 'ii' in their name or lamenting over Tix (I only have ten from the one day I joined). Look, if you were a kid and you joined a game with millions of possible usernames taken, you would add symbols and tons of numbers. That's what happens!
However, it's not just that. People spam (as they always do) and scammers scam people (as they always do) and people get so angry about this. Instead of focusing on the things that are going to happen whether you like it or not, try focusing on making the community of Roblox, and in turn Roblox itself, a better place where you can have fun. If a game has something you don't like, don't just complain about it or try to petition on a forum to get it removed, just message the developer and give them a suggestion on how to make the game better. Instead of complaining about how much Clickbait there is and how 'cancerous' the games are, try contacting Roblox admins and asking about how the Algorithm works and ask them to try to change it to give you better, more personalized suggestions!
I have only been playing Roblox for three days over the course of four years, and yet I feel I have better insight on how to actually better the community than many of you. However, that doesn't mean you have to argue with me or whine because I am 'being mean'. I am simply stating my own advice for the Roblox community.
That said, I quite enjoy Roblox and will probably be playing more, as I have found some of the servers I visited to be quite fun. I will also probably be posting on the forums now that I have gained access to my account, because I want to learn more about the community and what they have to offer.
Thanks, Roundnrounder |

| Very good post, I agree with amny of the terms you brought up by it feels like your talking to people like their five. Many of this community can appreacite the time and effort you put into this post, the community isn't so dumb as to call you "mean" there are many older more intelligent users on this site and I can tell you are one of them. Many of the points your brought up are valid but you have to understand a small majority of us on the forums don't think as to how you described the community, for the people that do this is a big eye opener |

| Thank you for taking time to reply. I had not been looking through the forum that much (only in this topic and the suggestions and ideas topic page) and I do see that many of you actually don't feel this way. I in no way meant to imply many of you all as smaller and I didn't mean to say everything in a condescending style (although I can totally see where you are coming from). I was expecting both more older and more experienced users (like yourself) and younger players to reply, and I should have been more specifically talking to some of the younger players at some moments. If I am able to (I didn't even look yet), I will edit the first post to reflect a less 'talking down' tone. Thanks, Roundnrounder |

| There seems to be no edit button for the post, but if I could change some of the wording, I would. |

| Atrushan, maybe the community you one knew and loved, but there is still a community. In the sense of community as in everyone is together, you may be right, but there seems to be some sort of community. |

| Pixelated_Dreams basically I tell the people who complain to stop complaining and start suggesting. That pretty much sums it up. |

| As fun as that would be, this is my actual account. I did not 'pg' (whatever that means) someone's account, but I'm guessing that means hacking into it. I in fact created this account four years ago. I of course have no way to prove this, any more than you can prove you didn't "pg" into your account. |

| Also I am not a pro. I played one or two games (it only said the one but I do remember playing other games. Probably was a guest) one day when I made an account and just found it again. |
