| I can't understand how ColorTheory can think protesting can work against these exploiters. More people need to understand this. Roblox won't do much until and I MEAN UNTIL this effects their profits. This is a business we're talking here. This is not a Church or a Foster's home. The deal is the money. Roblox was created for profits mostly not the enjoyment of users. Now if this protest does somehow cause great attention and reduces Roblox's profits something could happen. I'm not sure if this is even possible and if so the chances are very slim. Shutting down clans just ain't worth it. |

ROBLOX doesn't just care about money, that's just an insult complainers use. BC wasn't added until 3 years after ROBLOX came out so that "created for profits" thing is false.
Even if they were, it makes no difference. CT is protesting about the lack of public knowledge about their patch developments but really, there's no need to keep people informed. Patches come eventually, believe me, complaining will most likely just annoy other players if anything. |

| B3njam1n, They care. Why else do you think they make all these BC cards and let other sites adversite there stuff on there website? Like: The Three Stooges. |

The reason why I talked about this money issue is because it's true. If they did not care about money we would not have ads BC or Robux. Instead we would have some kind of money where you can earn it. Again, this is a business. Created for profits. They work on these updates to increase the amount of active accounts. They do not patch these exploiter issues or not very often or pay much attention because this is not doing much to their player base. |

| Hey guess what. If groups black out, and don't do anything, then the space that could have been taken up by them doing something in the servers will be freed up. This is GOOD for Roblox. Plus many people could/will probably quit because of inactivity. |

@Demo The reactions roblox will have to this is very unpredictable at this point. Now what you just said is true. If this effects their player base causing profits to lower something's gonna happen. |

| Yes this will not happen fast, but they will see the bar getting lower and they need to get some spies or something that just follow hackers around asking them how they do this and such. These hacks are only going to get more advanced. |

Spies? You mean Spyware. That's quite bad. This would make Roblox a site filled with viruses. They're not going to do that. Maybe a new reporting system but not that. And still, the chances are unpredictable so don't take this for sure. |

But it WON'T. No one is gonna quit because of a blackout. And if a few do, they will probably be NBC. and even if they are BC, There might be, at max, 50. Out of, I don't know, 2-3,000. So yeah. Roblox isn't going to lose any money. If anything they will gain money. |

That's very logical. So we're back to square one. Protesting is pretty pointless. |

The blackout is going to be 24 hours. Not long enough to do anything. And "spies"? That's just childish. In games, they would be obvious to spot, and in real life, it would be illegal. |

| We have nothing to lose, and a lot to gain. So what's the point of talking down on CT's idea? It took a lot of guts for him to do this. |

This is time wasting that's why. It's like putting down your own clan for something that probably won't happen. The chances are like the lottery. |

Not really. Roblox will ignore this protest, just like every other protest.

To make people come to their senses.

And he should feel bad. Or good, if he's trolling everyone. If he is, then BEST TROLL EVER. |

That's still a stupid idea. And people don't quit because of exploiters. Note: They're exploiters not hackers. They just cause little problems. Which is why nothing is done. |

| It is a waste of time. Nothing is done. That's what a blackout IS. It only worked for SOPA and PIPA because It was affecting literally billions of people. Exploiting doesn't even affect 50% of Roblox. |

- Dude, RAT is one of the first clans you see on the front page, I don't think CT is worried about members, or respect.

- How do you know that?

- The day is almost over for me, it's kinda late for that.

"And he should feel bad. Or good, if he's trolling everyone. If he is, then BEST TROLL EVER."

He's treating his clan like dirt. He's taking the activeness away. Which is why this is a bad idea. It's just a huge gamble. |
