the kind of people who quit over an update are the kind of people we don't need in the forum

He knows 80% of the forums is clearly angry, like honestly I understand it's hard to moderate us, but with roblox growing as much as it has I think you guys could get more moderators rather then destroying content that people have committed so much time to.
I know you guys think of this as a job, but for the forumers it's a lot more.

I am not allowed to agree with this. :P |

Moderators cost money, yo.
Two factors entered into the decision:
A: Cost
B: Usefulness of the forums.
You would be surprised how difficult it is to convince people the purpose of the forums. In fact, since we're living in the day of Reddit and other "forum" sites, it's amazing we've had forums that were as large as this for so long.
There are very few other games that have such an active and robust forum as we do. We want to preserve that while also looking sharp and being relevant. |

I know moderators cost money, but I see alot of forumers buying builders club and also being active in the community, which tells me we offer something to Roblox.
You saying that we have a large forum for a gaming website would make me think you guys would want to keep this game as universal as possible, but I guess roblox will configure to other games.
Maybe I'm wrong for being mad, but I'm not wrong for being sad with the years I've spent on the forums, and the people I've met that otherwise I would have never known.
The forums helped me learn English better then school did, without the forums I would have had to take more English classes before enrolling in American school and probably wouldn't have graduated as early as I did, you probably doubt me, but I would Google translate for hours to forum until I learned the words by heart. This is more then what you guys think to some of us.
Have a good day, bye. |

Sling has a valid point. ROBLOX wants users to focus on the games more than the forums obviously. They are just trying to narrow it down and create a more basic system, saving them money & time.

@SayIor I'm not sure I can really blame you for being upset. I am sad by it too in a way--but I also get to see the big picture and this update is just a stepping stone. Either way, I still think the forums will be an awesome place to talk, just not in as broad of a sense.
I know a lot of forum users have BC and are some of our most active users, but there is no way to prove that is because they are using the forums. Thus the value of the forums from a corporate perspective must be questioned. |

so is ROBLOX News & Discussion going to be what ATR is now? like only topics that pertain to ROBLOX only? or is it both on and offsite topics?
some of us are confused about that |

| I'm just scared that we will continue to be banned for dumb reasons (no offense to Sling, he's one of the good mods) because I get banned a lot even though I follow the ToS and there are worse posts than mine. I hope that roblox will work to solve this. |

You can never "unpost" something from the internet. |

I'm at work so I was going to hold off from posting, but I would like to say one last thing (or paragraph in my case).
Throughout all of the updates I looked for the bigger picture, not complaining, even when two of my favorite forums got deleted a few years ago GC and MT I just looked for the bigger picture holding back. I see roblox is moving down a new path, but I don't think this is my path anymore.
I've accumulated around 100,000 forum posts on my many profiles, I've also almost reached 1,200,000 place visits during that time, I've reached 4,000,000+ robux, and I've received Red Banded Top Hat, became friends with admins including Shedletsky, this game is my childhood, and even as a 20 year old adult it's still a part of me even if I haven't been active posting, I check daily to see what the new kids say posting here because it reminds me of when I was a kid.
I just don't want my childhood to end. I mean no disrespect to any Admins, I'm just saying this was the worst possible move for audiences like me.
If the forums died off I'd understand, it's just that they were getting bigger then ever, noe they are going to be gone. :(

@Slingshot,
Is there any way we can petition to have an extra forum that's a better mixture between the ones closing?
If so I would willingly give 3 hours a day of my time to moderate it at no cost, I would complete the training and background test.
I'm 20, and I'm a full time RN (Nurse), I can't offer the same time every day due to working 12 hour shifts 3-4 days a week, however there's quite a few of us that are old enough that would devote our time rather then just letting our forums close. |

this is common sense
when most of the people here post in the the hands-off off-topic subforums like rt and ot, removing those forums and replacing them with more roblox-centered subforums most people would rather choose to quit posting rather than try their hand at genuine discussion or the new moderation force
The gene pool could use a little chlorine. |

forum upgrade =/= roblox being moneyhungry
this is a good way to preserve resources all while increasing mod effectiveness, also promoting a more well-rounded roblox-related conversation
