TL;DR AT BOTTOM People keep saying that roblox cant afford updates and blah blah blah. Well i have a solution that helps roblox and the players. Have surveys that come from companys that have ads on roblox. Now, for safety reasons safechatters aren't allowed to take these surveys.
Now before you flame me, each completed survey earns roblox about 50 cents( i acually dont know but this is an accurate guess). And if MOST non safechat players use the survey how much money will roblox make? PLUS it can have more than one survey running at once.
Now as a benefit to the players each survey that they comlete they earn 5 robux, but they can only be taken ONCE. THIS WILL NOT STOP BC SALES! You only get 5 measly robux. Its not like you can get rich off of completing surveys (you only get around 3 surveys per month so thats just 15 extra robux, and if they dont loggin every day...) They don't get ANY BC BENEFITS. And to make it fair bc members earn DOUBLE their daily income a day (not counting loyalty bonus so that means 30). Same for TBC/ OBC.
TL;DR: Have a survey that earns non safechat players 5 robux, bc members 30, tbc members 60, and obc members 120. There are about 3 surveys per month, each survey can only be taken once, and it earns roblox 50 cents per survey (not completely sure) |

| It does not cost roblox much to put up a survey. And the income will far outweigh the price to put them up if even 30% of non-safechat users do it. |

@grantox Most of NBC are un-used alts that can free chat. They're just not used, so that leaves about... 40% of NBC accounts that are actually used. Wait, subtract the ones that quit.. 30% of NBC that lie about their age and therefore the survey results are completely biased. |

| @mikeyman10ash:Age does not matter for most surveys and there arent THAT many alts. Subtract the ones that are used and that leaves only around 20-30% of nbc being unused alts. And what about the bc users? And its not like people wont just awnswer randomly anyways, and theres no way to stop them. |

| @jacey and ace: You don't know the financial state of the company, and maybe they aren't getting enough or they would at least stop trying to make hats and focus on updating ogre to the highest possible point that still is compatible with the Lua we have now. And we have to have an incentive or nobody will take the surveys which will defeat the purpose -_- |

Companies are always looking for ways which mutually affect both companies in the deal. The best of these ways so far is the use of advertisements. One company gets advertising for his site, while the other gets money for having the ads on his site.
However, this idea won't work because your obvious idea is to get ROBLOX money, and there are no companies stupid enough to set up surveys about their products on a site where the chances that anyone pays attention to their products or services are very small. I'm honestly surprised that I see so many ads right now that would be in little interest of a kid, but I know that a company selling, for instance, food blenders, would not be so stupid as to set up a survey on a site for kids where the primary objective of the game is building and playing with friends.
For instance, if you're on an airplane, and the airplane has a TV screen in the back of the seat in front of you, they sometimes have surveys about the cleanliness, service, enjoyment and comfort of the flight. They don't have surveys about deodorant or whatever. It has to be site appropriate, and sites like ROBLOX number few.
So, my point is, other companies would see through ROBLOX's attempt to earn money. It's also not good for ROBLOX to use its players to earn this money, and give themselves a minor reward, making its players answer a survey for products or services of which they know nothing about.
Btw, you don't have to put a TL;DR version for a thread that's only three paragraphs long. |

| Seriously if they could see through roblox's attempt to just make money there wouldnt be dating site ad's or bryantt and straton advertisements because this is a kids site.(mostly) besides it doesnt HAVE to be random junk. it could be a survey about subway or something. |

@grant
The ads are not set up by the sites themselves, but by Google. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I know that Google's processing would have had an effect on the ads, because no company would make a dating site ad and put it on a site for kids majorly 7-15. |
