I can kinda understand the merge in the aspect of removing the more unnecessary forums like RT was basically the same as OT but with a different community, but like Off topic was the biggest forum and the most active, it was a big part of the forums

theres numerous other forums to discuss roblox related topics so I just find this kinda pointless. I just don't get why they'd remove the forum with the biggest and most active community

tl;dr
But I can say, the reason they did this merge and erased OT was because due to a lot of bot spam that happened.
Remember that John Peter account? It must've been that.

I can say server list was a bad idea, I can't even join a friend
Yet, roblox listens to kids these days and don't have time to listen to teens or adults.

I don't see how they even listen to kids,

I dont even think a majority of them even know the forums exist or even looked at a server list

That idea is dumb.

Even the idea of Anthro.

It doesn't make sense because ROBLOX is a cube-like game. Adding human-like characters will make the game feel weird.

Well, the listen kids part.
Let's say some kid said on the forums.


Ban people who hate us

Roblox, please ban people who hate our kind. We just wanna express ourselves.

I think (of course I don't know for sure) it boils down to a few simple questions. What type of forum does ROBLOX want? What communities do we want?

The answer to those questions in my mind is, ROBLOX's forum should be for ROBLOX, whith people who come on to talk about ROBLOX.

Let's look at it from a moderation perspective. Let's say that Off Topic would generate 5,000 reports a day (the number is probaly a lot higher). Assuming it takes a moderator 30 seconds to read a thread and decide how to handle that, it would take 41.6667 hours to read all of those reports. That's crazy. 41.6777 hours, and not an ounce of it was spent dealing with anything related to ROBLOX. Laid out like that, it just doesn't ever make sense.

I'll concur with gordon but also say that it had some of the weirdest or just plain wrong kinds of topics popping up in that subsection. Considering it was mostly left alone by the moderators it had its own little community policing itself and making that questionable behavior okay.

That would be true. 41.6777 hours is just an insane amount of time.

Even more if players are posting from different time zones or different countries.

You'd have to spend more time looking at posts.

Well I see your point there but I still don't see why they broke it apart, plenty of other sites with forums have off topic boards and they are fine


And I don't think the moderation is a good point. People that break rules, will break the rules, regardless of what board it is on

What they really should do, is crack down on all these ####### going into games and asking people out on dates. That's what they should do.
