im sure that he totally wanted his passing to be publicized amongst thousands of people that he didn't even personally know.

it's totally fair for you all to be making a giant deal out of something that the staff hasn't even made a blog post or notification about. if it seems that they want to keep this private,

you should respect their wishes and keep it private.

Yes.

People die all the time, making a big deal out of it is immature and painful to watch.

I would agree, but I doubt you know more than the average person on here on what Erik's family wishes.

if a mod said it, isnt it pretty obvious it was meant for the public? a mod cant just go "hey erik died" and expect no one else to know.

I've lost family members, and I am pretty certain that they don't want kids slandering the occasion.

Well, people are just trying to be nice. There's nothing wrong with wearing his E or going to his game.

"People making "funeral ceremonies" is just off."

I agree with you there. There are 4 kinds of people.

1. People who care.

2. People who just pretend to care and are really just getting place visits and tix.

3. People who are insulting him to cause turmoil, and drama

4. People who don't know or don't care.

While we understand what you're saying, you need to understand that's not your call to make. What do you know about his wishes or that of his family?

And keep that in mind as well: as one of its founders, Erik was part of ROBLOX's family. A family all ROBLOXians are part of too.

So while we don't want to see players capitalizing on his death or using this opportunity to say or do inappropriate things, we do think our players deserve to know what happened to him. We ask that you please be respectful, and avoid speculation until the official blog announcement.

the amount of family between the entire website and between that of the dev, mod, admin, and business team are two entirely different subjects.

and while it may not be my call, it's one made with sound judgement. tell me i'm wrong when i say it's typical for a family, of any connection or relation, to want large scale disclosure during the immediate loss of a loved one.

@Pat

There's nothing wrong with people knowing that he passed away.

@fuz

i'm going to be perfectly honest and say that yes, there is.

while it may be out of pure respect and compassion on the part of the robloxians that are doing these things, it's still not the most appropriate response.

And people knowing that he passed away is wrong cause...?

Plus, you heard what Master said. I'm sure it's fine with his family.

@Fuz, no. If you died would you want a couple thousand people on Roblox making you places, getting tix because of your death. You wouldn't want someone to morn over you because you wouldn't want them sad. Some people care for the tix, and some care from their heart, but you still don't want a thousand people knowing.

Too a certain extent you're right. Having people pretend to care just for tix is wrong, but if the ROBLOX community wants to get together and pay respects to Erik, then let them.

And I had spent all this time building ROBLOX up to what it is now, I'd feel proud seeing everyone coming together to pay respects and such. ROBLOX is typically divided, but it's nice to see everyone come together from time to time. :)
