the first few of these are in my opinion the most needed changes to the forums
- get rid of the entertainmet category/merge it with ot
this category was literally dead, some forums even had hours between posts. all of those forums are off-topic as well so they couldve just been merged with ot.
- KEEP off topic but merge all other forums with it (apart from the ones still standing and also rt and atr)
this is because every forum i have been on has an off topic subforum. nobody on these forums talks about roblox news unless its a huge update. i also said to leave rt and atr out of this merge because ot, rt and atr aren't realllllly different it's just that half of those subforums genuinely think their preferred forum is a nation and they feel the need to flame the others because of the forum they post in
- fix the search and top poster systems
these are forum features that have been broken for years. i know roblox didnt completely code this forum but if they have the coding skill to make a whole website and a games platform they can surely fix these features, right?
now these are things that weren't necessarily needed but they would've been nice tweaks
-bbcode
bold, italic text etc, images and all that stuff wouldve been a good addition and almost every other forum has basic bbcode
-forum statistics
curious people could view how much total posts and threads the forum has and also how many people online so this wouldve been a pretty cool addition
-cracked down on bots and forum raids and stuff
bots were probably the biggest nuisance to popular forums. the amount of times i clicked a forum and saw peter freaking williams botting was a lot and then you just have the moronic children of the forums like "[FORUM] IS SUPERIOR HAHAAHHAAH". this would be a great thing if you actually worked on destroying this stuff
MODS I AM NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE IT IS JUST MY OPINION SO DONT DELETE THIS THREAD THANKS LOL |

You forgot something bro about them Adding a new layout that more modern in the forums rather than us having a layout that just remains the same but gets a light or dark color every few years.....
this time they made the color darker rather than making a new design for forums how sad. |

im convinced they will never fix the search function because they can't do it
making new forums was just a temporary solution as it means there are less posts for the search bar to deal with |

I agree except for merging the entertainment catagory.
It was not dead, yes it may have seemed dead from someone likes you, but as someone who actually forumed there, it had a community.
Video game central, for example, was FAR from dead, it was just slower than other forums, there was nothing wrong with it and the community was still strong

| @tdc they probably could implement a new search forum instead of the original ones ####### forums used like how they added floodcheck (i think they added it themselves) and also removed the ability to change the subject of posts |

| I think that the way they originally wrote it wasn't future proof enough, and now that we're in the future they are dealing with it by making new forums, because it would take too much time for them to do a total rewrite basically |

Alright
Go into settings by clicking on the gear tab near your ROBUX
Click on the R+ tab in 'My Settings'
scroll down until you see the 'Forum' section
There will be several checks that you can enable/disable
