| What if Roblox released functions that were locked unless you were Builder's Club. Would this positively affect the game (more money, more updates), or negatively? Discuss. |

| They wouldn't dare make that BC only......... I'd quit Roblox just because of that showing how focused they are on business and none on the consumer. |

| The last thing I would want is ROBLOX studio having BC functions and methods only accessible to BC'ers. The studio is what is keeping me alive and active in this website. If they would make this, this would be the most pathetic update up-to-date. |

Are ads in ROBLOX pay-by-view or pay-by-click?
Becuase if it were pay-by-click then I don't think roblox is making a lot lolol

I don't think that blocking ads with those extensions really blocks the money ololol.
like doesn't the client still receive that packet where server wants the client to view those really interesting ads, while the server logs them somewhere even if client refuses to show them derpppppp.

Methods*
But there's much more possibilities. Objects? I wouldnt be too upset about these changes since I have Builder's Club. I imagine some people might get really upset about this. I dont quite understand why Roblox is still so free. It's a great game, but I think it deserves more money for what it is. Not raising membership prices, but making more member features. If you look at other games that have both free and member accounts, there's a much wider gap than what Roblox has. I don't really get why people make such an uproar about new Builder's Club features. |

@Osyris
Because the free game market is a much better one to the community. And trust me, making the community be okay/like the company is insanely important in making money. Besides, I'm not their target audience as I'm over the age of 12 and I know how to script. That is the target audience for making monies. We're just here to provide them more content. In a sense, we're helping them make money by raising scripters that can make better games/models O_O |

| I think there was talk of making Data Persistence a BC feature but thankfully it isn't. I am perfectly content that all BC only features affect the site, and not the creation of games. |

There was, but then it evolved into talk about having BC for more data storage, but that was shot down because if the place went over the normal limit and the creator's BC expired data would be corrupted. |

I don't see how that could possibly work...
You mean like cross-game data persistence functions? Being able to load the data saved in another game would be cool. But if they released something like that it would be for all users. :L |

| They won't restrict any building, scripting, or playing functions for BC. |

Ok.
The alot of the BEST place-makers are NBC.
Take away their ability to make awesome games, and what will the BC noobs have to do?
I used to be BC but I'm not anymore, and I never will be again ever since they banned my account. |

Not going to happen (Although AwardBadge is sort of...).
1) None of these functions would work with Free Models Newbie: "Hey, why doesn't this work? D: *Rage quit*
2) Almost anything they made could be remade by the community; the Scripters forum here would be angry enough to do it.
I could ALMOST imagine it happening with the (possible) SQL update if Roblox chose to host it, but even then I doubt it. The sheer amount of rage would be more than the storage space is worth.
"Game development and user-generated content fuel ROBLOX, and one of our goals is to make sure all users — not just paid members — know that they can build their own games and create original content." - ROBLOX
They're never going to restrict building/scripting features to BC only, it just doesn't fit. |

| Not to be biased or anything, but typically BC'ers can't script. The NBC'ers make use of what they have and soak up every resource possible to learn what they can to before they buy any classification of Builder's Club. |

@money *Cough* *Cough* Yeah, no. I'm not convinced that BC status has anything to do with scripting ability. |
