Game Design isn't going to be any help (because they tried merging every single development related forum into one giant forum and essentially just created another mega-forum like OT), Game Marketing is a completely useless forum, and Scripters clearly states in the description that it isn't the place for getting help with scripting. So now if anyone has a bug in their code, since 80% of the time the Wiki won't be any help for debugging, the developer who encounters an error is left hopeless? SH was incredibly helpful to me, even though I didn't go there too often, I owe that forum's community of RBXDevs and scripters a lot of thanks. You can't use Scripters, read its description. "This is the place for discussion about scripting. Anything about scripting that is not a help request or topic belongs here." "that is not a help request" Now it's deleted. Not merged, deleted. I talked to Gordonrox24 on ATR, he says that Game Design is supposed to be the new hub for 100% of help with anything and everything related to ROBLOX Studio, Help, Scripting, Designing, and Building. Take a look at that forum, it's a complete mess. RBXDev member & ROBLOX Wiki Staff member emporerj also replied, supporting to bring back the Scripting Helpers forum: "I feel like it was better before, now people who are good at scripting will have to filter through building help questions, and people who know a lot about building will be completely lost on 75% of the threads." I wouldn't want to have to sort through all of the threads about building or designing just for scripting. Even on scripting helpers, it can be difficult to find an applicable thread that you can provide help for. Not just getting help, but giving help will be harder now. If Scripting Helpers won't be its own individual forum anymore, then could you at least consider making Scripters double as both scripting discussion and scripting help? The merge update is extremely counterproductive to anyone who needs help in developing - and developing games has always been the core of why Roblox exists.

Support. SH, BH, etc should all be separated out again.

If an engineer needed help, he would ask another engineer, not walk into an art studio. If a web designer needed help, he won't ask an accountant. If a programmer needs help, he's not going to ask a construction worker. We need specific forums in order to get help with specific things.

Support. I always went to scripting helpers when I needed help with a script and I always got positive feedback. Now, I'm left hopeless and Game Design is a complete mess now.

First off I don't mind this merge, I quite like it. Although MyForums gotta be cleaned up; www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=149975608 Secondly, there's a site for this. It's https : / / scriptinghelpers . org / so you still have that resource without BH questions. All in all, I don't see any reason for complain. No support. Let the flame wars begin XD

@war, I'm sorry, but I completely disagree, Scripting Helpers should exist, and so should Building Helpers..

Suppprt! However, I agree that having 5 forums for game development is a bit much. There should be 1 forum called "Game Development Questions", where users ask any questions about game development, from scripting to building to ROBLOX Studio.

Oh wait nevermind, that happened with the Game Design forum, now I like this update, although I will miss the old style, this one's better organized :P.
