As a Roblox developer, it is currently difficult for people interested in your work to find you on your Developer Forum profile, if they have limited access to the other social networks available through Roblox profiles.
If this was added, it would further allow developers to get more credit for their work, and allow employers to easily access the developer’s page to get more information about them (e.g. past work). This would also help link your work to your name, allowing people to acknowledge you for your hard work, etc.
