Could ROBLOX please stop the off-site ads. I am throwing this Idea out here because I see so many ads in one day, however, lately I've been seeing more off-site ads and less group ads, game ads, especially clothing ads. I want to see more of that because the majority of people on ROBLOX are kids and would not want to see some of the junk being advertised. I see AT&T ads, car ads, lawnmower ads, and even personal business ads that have nothing to do with ROBLOX. This is only my opinion and I really don't like this. Not sure if there is even a way to control this but please leave your ideas below. Thank you. c: P.S, I have even seen one or two inappropriate ads here and there. Plus, for me if I accidently click on the off-site ad, I have to go back to ROBLOX and re-login because it does not recognize me. I don't know about you, but this topic gets on my nerves.

I lost my BC a few days ago. Yet I still saw the abundance of off-site ads. Thanks for the tip. Maybe its just being weird and I need to get BC again.

Use adblock if it's that irritating.
Ads give ROBLOX monehs, and ROBLOX is too greedy to let go of a source of income.

@Sswordism

That's such a foolish thing to say. What'd you expect? Them to let you use THEIR servers and THEIR website for free? NO. People like you irritate me. Roblox is NOT greedy. They're trying to make your experience enjoyable while running a company (this includes facility and employee upkeep) and all you fools do is hate them for it. Grow up.

Besides, those ads are based on your search history, it's your fault if you see something irrelevant or inappropriate.

Oh, and, reported for spam.

@tested, change your siggy. No support. ROBLOX makes money from those ads. Buy BC if you don't want to see them.

Every post is a bump

@Tested, I do not search inappropriate things. I am not that irresponsible. I am responsible and know better. That accusation is false and slipping through your fingers. However, the ad blocker I am not sure how to use, I am not inexperienced but unaware. BC is what I though was my answer because now that I think about it, I've been seeing more ads since I lost my TBC (a few days ago)...

BC, TBC, and OBC provide a limited(Unless you buy lifetime) escape to offsite ads.
The ads are -I assume- still Google ads, which base their ads on what you, or someone else on your computer/device search up.

If one does not like seeing them, then they buy BC, to further extend their period of not seeing these offsite ads.

As cold said, the ads are used to raise money.
There are many costs that come with running an business, and even more when it is online. There is building maintenance, electric bills, water bills, worker wages, equipment purchases, equipment maintenance, equipment upgrades, property tax, maintaining the storage of food in the breakrooms, going on publicity stunts (BLOXcon), and so, so, so many more things.

I would support this because I hate off site ads, bit these people pay roblox to advertize. I get that it doesn't make sense to put ads for cars on kids websites unless you are a supergenious kid with a drivers license, but again, roblox is paid for people advertizing. I just noticed how funny this could be though and cause chaos. A 5 year old is playing roblox and sees a ad for a house. He clicks the ad and clicks buy. XD! Again. I wish I could support , but I cant. Is this the first time I am not being a noob? It must be... LETS CELEBRATE!!!

@Jacob False, Google Adsense (Googles ads) show ads in categories CHOSEN by the site owner. Your history is irrelevant to the ads.

"unless you are a supergenious kid with a drivers license, "

Doesn't matter if ones a "supergenius" kid, they can't get their drivers license till they are 16, in some places 18. Ironically enough, you only have to be 12 years old to get a plane flying license.

"A 5 year old is playing roblox and sees a ad for a house. He clicks the ad and clicks buy."

So what if he clicks buy?
They -the company or individual selling the house- has to have information to process.
That 5 year old doesn't have that information to give. Average 5 year old doesn't even know their parents names; just that they are "Mommy" and "Daddy."

@Xxcod:
Is that so?
Whelp, looks like Manga is actually more educational than forums are.
At least manga teaches you the virus that causes rabies; whereas forums lie to you and tell you google ads run on search history.

In an attempt to save the forums, is it actually a combination of both?
You know, like, the site owner chooses categories, and then the adsense thing picks through your search history to find related topics within the set parameters?

Thank you for your help but no. Off-site ads doesn't give ROBLOX money, and I usually don't search things. It's just random ads. Off-site ads don't give ROBLOX money because I see such an abundance of them in such a short time, how do we know that ROBLOX even knows about all of these random off-site ads?

*Roblox removes off-site ads*
*Profit from NBC's is gone*
*Roblox becomes P2P*
@lilly4521 Yes they do make money off the ads or they wouldn't be there -.-
And they don't know about the ads the ads are shown by a 3rd party provider most likely google.

I laughed so hard. xd
but anyways, bluemangroup, get adblock.
Just search "Adblock for chrome" on google, if you use Google Chrome as an internet browser. If you don't use GC, do so.
