Anyone who is an Vet of this game will understand what I'll be saying. First, Let me clear this up. This game is still an fun game, and I'm still playing years after my initial creation of this account. ROBLOX has an demographic for kids about the ages of 7-15+, and It's understandable that the older community will take more prominence in the noticeable community, But I've got an question.. What makes games about Man-Slaughter and Adopting kids 'Fun' to someone of an younger age, and at that, how this might effect them in the long run. Now, I'm not saying that these games are not fun, and I'm not saying that these games shouldn't be allowed. I'm saying that the ROBLOXian community needs to be more mindful of the younger ones here. While on the topic of controversy, Online Dating. I know this is going to get A LOT of hate and controversy, but I'll make an point. THIS. IS. AN. KIDS. GAME. If you're one of those people who are guilty of doing this, (and let's be honest, We've all done this at least once ; We are becoming Young adults - Teens), just mind that you'll become 'That person'. But I don't think It should get AS much hate as It does. If someone acts like they're going to kiss in a server, people freak out, stop the presses, crash the cars and go all ape. No, I don't think people should date AT ALL in this game, but the community as an whole should realize that this is not as bad as some other things, and this leads me into my last topic.. ROBLOX. The main man of the house just seems to not really care about what the people have to say anymore.. Of course, he runs out of ideas for specific gears, hat, or whatevers, but.. Just the decline of care they put into their community feedback makes me as an long-time player feel that they're just in it for the money. They are an corporation, and need to make an living, but is ranking who gets their accounts back, based on their level of subscription membership worth the thousands of dedicated, non-member players getting their accounts taken, and not an single shred of thought goes out for them? All of this post boils down to these last little bits. ROBLOX has became an place, where those who pay for things are those who are cared about. I just wish the days of Classic would return, but that's but a far-fetched dream at this point.

This may not be the best place for this, but take this in the way of a suggestion that would get a LOT more people back into this game.

exactly the same with you. roblox is dead with most of the children! BC is the core reason!

it seems roblox needs a major money to work. however, at most there are 200~300 staff in roblox Headquarters. based on 250 staff in it, 50,000 bucks per year, they pay 12.5 million on it - just publishing advertisement is enough to pay them. on server, you will see there are wide range of server which needs less than about 2 bucks (most of the server expenditures) per single player, again, if roblox could earn ~19,000,000 per year only using advertisement, is would be able to completely support more than 500,000 active players after deducting the staff one. roblox could still be sustained even without BC, in fact (basically).

oh i forgot the building maintenance, electricity, additional event expenditure, and sponsorship incomes. however, at most it needs to spend ~5,000,000 after tax. the players play more than 2~3 hours would be fine. (i guess?)
