Hello there robloxians. While in class today, I was thinking about my expiring builders club and what benifits I would lose. The robux and places I really didnt care about. But I mostly cared about the offsite ads that would come up. Today, I will be telling you why offsite ads are not useful to roblox. 1. They slow most computers. Think about it, unless your computer is super advanced, more loading time is required per page with offsite ads. This isnt a big problem, but some people hate them for that reason. 2.They dont pay much. On average, per click, offsite ads generate about $0.26, depending on the content. Thats INSANELY low, and does not generate in any huge monetary gain. And Finally, 3., They ruin the chance for peoples ads to be shown. Why should everyone else be forced to lose valuable ad clicks and place visits because roblox cares more about that extra $0.26? So, thats my suggestion. I hope you take it into consideration, bring some CONSTRUCTIVE critisicm, and, if any admins see this, think about the players for a change.

Take that 0.26$, and multiply it by about 1,000. Thats my answer to this thread. :)

I'm pretty sure that ROBLOX gets money just for having the ads. ROBLOX needs all the money it can get. NEEEEEEDS.

"While in class today, I was thinking about my expiring builders club and what benifits I would lose" -- Try to pay attention. You get educated for a reason. 1] Yep. 2] True, but it's still money. 3] Money = Roblox

And my answer to number two. If youre old enough to use roblox, shouldnt you be old enough to learn that you should click on offsite ads?

Bump Also, most offsite ads I see are for other online games. LOL.

Off-site ads earn Roblox money. They won't take them away, or they'll probably go bankrupt.

If you guys really want roblox to have money, heres an idea. Instead of putting offsite ads, put the BUY BUILDERS CLUB ad on the screen a ton for NBC.

I agree with bob because I saw an ad that had a girl in the shower facing the other way.....I don't support though because ROBLOX gets money from these ads. Money = ROBLOX No Money = ROnuke

besides, have you ever seen how many people have bc, tbc, and obc? Alot. think about it. most people go for montly or yearly payments. so take the price for monthly, every 6 month payment,and every yearly payment and multiply that times how many people are buying it. and you still wont have the answer becuase alot of people are doing the bc,tbc,obc stuff for more than a year so you yould would have to add all that up and multiply even more. thats a lot of money right there. so why have ads when 1: all you get is like $0.30 from each click. 2:look at all that money from the bc, tbc, and obc. Thats alot of $. 3: offsite ads annoy most players, which displeases them. Ask your self this, roblox. do you like to see your players displeased all because the stupid offsite ads? didnt think so. so why not you do something about that!

"Take that 0.26$, and multiply it by about 1,000. Thats my answer to this thread. :)" So then roblox cares about a extra 260$?

Nice. They slow down your computer about two frames, and wait, what is your point here? There are no calculations needed to determine how much ROBLOX benefits from this. Imagine. Every page in ROBLOX contains an offsite ad, with a few exceptions here and there. We have 10,000,000+ players. Explain why this doesn't generate enough money?

"We have 10,000,000+ players." lies last time i checked we were celibrating 5mil or 6mil ( but only 4mil individual users and of that only 2mil are still active)

@dk There is no way of determining active and inactive users throughout ROBLOX, but the total user count is over ten million. Proof? http://www.roblox.com/User.aspx?ID=10000000

Those 26 cents pay for moochers like me who play for free. Carthage must be built with bricks, then destroyed.
