Instead of making primarily browser based, Roblox could create a downloadable client that would enhance social features and add features like in game parties, in game chat to people outside of the game etc. Generally a better presented Roblox that isn't browser based with enhanced social capabilities.

I know this is fairly vague so, maybe add some ideas.

That's an awesome idea. Roblox needs Steam like design, and microphone abilities. Great idea sir. Five stars.

ROBLOX doesn't need a client alike what you're describing. Basically it just sounds like you want them to create their own browser, which is what STEAM technically is when you remove the 'My Library' section. A website is just fine, it holds what we need and doesn't require use to download more than what's needed, and I personally don't want to have to use my normal browser, STEAM and this Ro-Client thing. You'd also likely be restricted with the amount of pages you could have open on the client, so again, no.

I don't really have an opinion on this.

Support. The website's chat latency is terrible, and it's easy to miss notifications when you're invited to a party or when someone starts chatting with you. If there were a whole new window for it, I'd suppose it would help with a lot of issues. I don't care for voice chat support, because this is Roblox. Not Steam or Xbox Live. Reasons why are pretty self-explanatory.
They had a Roblox browser at one point, back around when I joined, or maybe in 2009 too. It changed nothing, but I just don't think they did it right.

A steam client isn't really needed. If they make a Steam-like overlay that'd be good enough, so you could chat with people privately, which is good for games such as Deadzone or Apocalypse Rising - Everything else though(such as voice chat), already able to be done with Steam itself.

When I say steam like client, I mean that roblox should have a client with more social capabilities rather than a socially primitive browser based system.

This is just more money, and more time away from important updates for Roblox.
I prefer a browser based site since it requires no download, and I don't have to worry about client crashes or bugs or anything like that.
