Problem: As I'm sure at least one of you and maybe as many as all of you know, it is possible to build and edit a Place offline, using either Roblox Studio or the beta Roblox Studio 2.0. Eventually, someone is going to discover this, maybe in the comfort of their own Internet-enabled home or on the road. Here's an example:

Young Jimmina Falon was messing around with Roblox Studio one night as she went on a road trip with her family. Of course, since she was on the road, she didn't have Internet access. So, she began to build. Soon, she became curious as to how she could create one of the cool scripts so often seen in all the big Roblox games. She clicked the "Help" tab, only to be greeted with a taunting "No Internet" box. She became so upset by this she began dating people online and breaking all of the rules, and soon got every single member of Roblox to join her. The end.

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT!? ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THE DOWNFALL OF ROBLOXIAN SOCIETY!? If not, read on friends!

Solution: Provide an off-line help section!
*
Look at literally any program, for literally every operating system. They all have some sort of off-line help feature, whether it's in the form of tutorials or digital manuals or whatever it may be. Why can't Roblox have this? Having such a feature would be as simple as copying and pasting the Roblox wiki into a .PDF or a .HTML file, including it with the Roblox download, and having a hyperlink to it in the Help tab. Once there, it would be as easy to access as the online version of it, and would require that much less Internet.

Benefits: First of all, it would prevent the completely realistic, unbiased scenario presented above from ever happening, ever. Also, it would encourage building and scripting offline, which would decrease bandwidth costs for the Roblox website. It would also allow for players spending more time on their Places, since they lose the stigma of being online at all times. With a simple offline "Help" feature, Roblox would save money, and its residents would create even higher-quality works for all of Robloxia to enjoy.

You have earned a big ol' box of Supports. That example actually made me laugh at the end, which is hard to do. Also, is it Rapboy or Shady? c:
