The funny thing is, most of the people who join groups/buy the SOPA Protesting Sign, etc. don't even know what SOPA is. It is the unreasonable act that will put an end to ROBLOX, Permanently. ROBLOX is doing the wrong thing; saying stuff that little kids, which make up most of ROBLOX's playerbase, don't understand at all. Seriously, I doubt the average 10 year old will know what Innovation is. No offense, 10 year olds. I didn't even finish reading the article Roblox wrote, and I always read them, no matter how boring or long they are. I think Roblox took the completely wrong approach on this topic, and should educate the community more about and on what they could do to stop the terrible act. For example, Telamon’s Youtube video about protesting. Someone there (can’t remember who) said that no one there knew or even cared about SOPA.The only reason they were there because Telamon was there. The “protest” wasn’t a protest at all, but merely another Telamon Fan Attack with another name slapped on it. I mean look, nobody there cared. Telamon himself started dancing and jumping around. And besides, have you read the article Roblox posted? They don’t even put a link to where to vote against SOPA! These points also connect to ROBLOX itself. Roblox is a great game and all, but it’s impossible to figure out without help, and, none is supplied. When an account is created Builderman (now just a system message on behalf of builderman) is sent to that player. It is called “The Rules of ROBLOX; Getting Started.” It should just be called “The Rules of ROBLOX,” because it has no information whatsoever on how to get started. And besides, people won’t usually know what their inbox is, let alone view that message. I know I got kind of off-topic here, but I think I made some good points. Maybe even Telamon will read this. And, a message specificly for him if he chooses to do so: Yeah, I'm sorry about what I said about your protest/party. But the thing is, it's true, and you know it. Anyways, Leave a reply and tell me what you think. Thanks for reading. ~Tzsara, Future Admin of ROBLOX

That's what the forum is; a place where people can post their opinions and ideas. ~Tzsara, Future Admin of ROBLOX

I forgot another thing about Telamon's video: Someone in that game chatted "Who is SOPA" yup, pretty self-explanatory. ~Tzsara, Future Admin of ROBLOX

There are tons more people than you think that understand SOPA, and up there i right, you can't tell people that their wrong because it's their opinion. And you are being a hypocrite. You said I doubt 10 year olds can actually understand what SOPA's about, yet you then said ROBLOX should put their time and money into educating them.

I didn't mean it the way you're interpreting it. ROBLOX should say something about it, but not to an extent in which they are losing time/money. If you look at the current post about it, Heck yeah, they spent a lot of time on it. But what I'm trying to say is, it's time wasted because people won't be able to understand it. They should've been right to the point, made it clear it was BAD, and posted a link to a website where you can vote against the act. ~Tzsara, Future Admin of ROBLOX

And another thing about SOPA is, ROBLOX Users are just using it as an opportunity to earn money. Examples of stuff people have said: "Join this group if you hate SOPA!", "Play this place if you hate SOPA!", "Buy this shirt if you hate SOPA!", etc. ~Tzsara, Future Admin of ROBLOX
