Too Long; Didn't Read?
Tough Luck; Don't Reply!

This far I've been happy with what ROBLOX wants as a player, because I didn't care, you want animals, ninja's and motorcyles on your new theme, I don't care, you think it would be a good idea to let disney XD sponser you, I don't mind... BUT, that was before I saw the new OFFICIAL advert, the one your going to use to attract a wider audience... I'm going to listen to what it say and quote everything now.

"Own your friends, ROBLOX! Be anything, build anything. Millions of players. DESTROY EVERYTHIIIIIIIIIIIIING! ROBLOX! IT'S FREEEEEEEEEEE!"

... Is this some kind of joke? Really, you only briefly bring up building your own worlds... the most emphasis on anything in the ad was about destroying things... THAT... is stupid, when ROBLOX was made, I don't even have to look up info on the development blog to know this place was made for smart children who wanted to learn how to build and script, and could use this easy tool to learn how and show their progress to other smart builders, for compliments or advice... but look what it's spiraled down into now, you're looking for idiotic six year olds who like explosions... this may seem like a good idea in whatever alternate universe you're living in but I can't see how this could POSSIBLY be helpful, let's put the facts into context shall we.

First off, economically, they're small children, they might just be stupid enough to buy right! But they wont be clever enough to build, or script, or even bother to learn how to! So what would they buy it for? Hats? Bragging rights? To go to all of the "FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" games that they can't enter because they have to pay? I'm sorry, but there's no point in them getting it, and I'm sure that anybody who knows what scripting means would agree. Then there's the community, it's horrible, you've been attracting so many young children the community is full of idiots, too many, and you want more? The smart ones are leaving and everything is lowering in quality! Plus, with idiots comes trolls, and when they're bored of griefing there's a conveniently placed forum nearby, where they can annoy anything that types.

My suggestion is THIS, stop trying to get that kind of person into ROBLOX, bring in people who actually WANT to use their creativity, who have the initiative to learn how the building and scripting works, and has the patience to put it into practice, you know what I mean, the more intellectual child, not the one who "needs" the latest hat for their horrible fashion sense. If you do, the communtiy will improve, place quality will improve, and these new people are good at building so they'll have a REASON to buy BC for more places, you'll make more money that way aswell.

@DadoMahho:
Yes. Grammar is indeed a forum rule.

Yes. Things would be better, more legible, and all-around easier to understand if everyone followed it.

Yes. You did correct the OP about this.

Yes. You didn't give criticism and/or a support rating to the OP.

Yes. You are stupid for not doing that.

Yes. I did just call you stupid.

Yes. You should build a bridge and get over it.

Yes. I know you won't.

I agree. Commercial was terrible plain and simple. They didn't even mention scripting in it.

The reason I think ROBLOX should be aimed more towards teenagers is because around that time is when you learn how to program and such. But that commercial would definitely NOT attract teens to the site (the commercial makes me want to rip my eyeballs out, set them on fire, crush them, and then drill through my ears with a rusty drill bit).

I remember seeing it. Although it is an awesome video editing technique, it doesn't show building of scripting in the slightest bit. Here ROBLOX. REMAKE the video but talk about building and not

Also, I just realized something. It's only on Youtube. And it has ONLY 2,000+ views currently. If they REALLY want a major income from it, Run it on TV. Cheap nearby cable channels wouldnt be that much. But until they get major, they should try to run it actually on TV. And here's an idea, STOP CALLING IT A TV COMMERCIAL WHEN YOU AREN'T RUNNING IT ON TV.
