I am fully aware of the WNTS.
In EVERY thread I have posted lately someone has said some things without actually reading the thread where somewhere inside it covers what they ask/complain about, and i'd appreciate it if the people who do so may actually see if something in the original post already covers what they are writing. I'm not making a TL,DR because people need to learn that if they want to make an in-depth detailed with strong evidence response, they have to actually read the ENTIRE thing because they could've missed the whole point.

Al-righty. Roblox is a game for everyone, right? It is clean enough for children and advanced enough for adults. However, it still advertises towards children, and we are missing out on an entire section of Roblox's audience because of this. I'm not saying make it inappropriate or less clean than it already is.
You see, teenagers and up look at Roblox's ads and sites, and instantly they see "Lego children's building game", without even knowing about scripts and studio, and the forum and such. Because they see only this unless they look deeper into the site, we lose out on maybe 40% of our possible players because they think it's a game meant for toddlers and little children, not a game for all ages.
If I ever play this game around my buddies, they think i'm playing a game meant for five year olds. Why? It could be the advertisements, site, or maybe the fact some of this rips-off Lego and Mine Craft. It could be the bodies, games, whatever. I'm not my friends, so I don't exactly know.
My advice, which doing such I estimate will raise Roblox's popularity more than enough to raise not only profits, but popularity, too, is to make Roblox look a lot more E for Everyone. Don't make it less clean. Modern Military and Horror are official Roblox genres, right? It's quite possible to show more of that without removing cleanliness of the game. The ads need to show a bigger variety of games, as well as the programming atmosphere, too. Roblox's video on the homepage can show programming in there, too, no problem.
Generally, show more of the programming sandbox atmosphere in the site and advertisements. This will show that this is advanced enough for adults, and if that age group didn't see this as much of a 'child' game and more of an 'everyone' game, it will definetly boost popularity.

FAQs:
Q: DON'T JOO KNOW DIS ON DA WNTS?
A: This isn't to remove cleanliness in the site AT ALL. I'm saying to appeal as more of an EVERYONE game.
Q: IF THERE ARE MORE ADULTS THE COMMUNITY WILL BE RUINED WITH ADULTS AND IT WON'T BE APPROPRIATE AND THERE WILL BE MORE JERKS!
A: And having a mob of children in the forums will be so much better?! The rules won't change, and all this will probably mean is a more mature community, if you want to talk about the attitude of the community.
Q: IT WON'T HAPPEN
A: Well, in what way do you control what the mods and devs think?
Q: THE ADULTS WILL MAKE INAPPROPRIATE GAMES!
A: Did I say once that the rules and moderation will change?

Please, don't flame this idea, please provide constructive criticism and don't be a jerk about it.

>_> If you had been showed WNTS before it says "Asking for 13+ features"
There already aware of the interest on this matter, and there probably will be features in due time.
