#1: What caused ROBLOX to Remove :Remove()?

#2: Does it still work?

#3: I've heard :Destroy() Fails.
 
What did the nubs exploit to make them Do this?

If we got rid of all the crazy people, we would have only 2000 people left.

I wrote a wiki page that explains everything about them: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/User:JulienDethurens/Removing_Objects

Remove() hasn't been removed. It still works. Destroy is ok.

In the past they've removed stuff because people can exploit it.

I have no idea why they decided to deprecate it, other than destroy being more efficient with handling the memory.

@AgentFirefox

That's actually THE reason.

So there's only one way to do something, and so that only way is the best one.

When you use remove it basicly parents it to a Recycling Bin.
Its still in your game.
Which means it could still lag your game.
Destroy() how ever removes it completly from your game.

And plus you dont even need remove()

Just do this if remove ever gets 'removed'

Brick:remove()
Brick.Parent = nil

Remove still works, Destroy actually doesn't fail, and I would just recommend using `Debris:AddItem` to avoid this whole issue...

Worst recommendation ever.

Debris:AddItem should be used only when you don't want to get rid of an object immediately.
