You can always use groups for this.
you guys are going to can a 16-year-long history of comments and posts. please reconsider or back them up somewhere on some HDD for the love of god. archivists wonāt be able to save all of them, if these comments get wiped itās entire ERAS of conversation that are going to disappear forever

if anyone wants to archive comments use this link:
www.roblox.com/comments/get-json?assetId=2766576&startIndex=0 (works with badges and development assets too)
if you archive the item website it wont work because it uses the current api so in the future it would appear blank

Good decision, comments are either just scams or spamming /e something. Maybe instead add some security measures though instead. (Iām not sure exactly how it would work though myself)
/e free
tāwas an era
Rest in pieces
There were barely any useful comments on marketplace items. Almost all of them were spam or useless messages. I agree with this update.

Also, does this mean that its getting replaced with group walls?
Iām kinda shocked this didnāt happen sooner. Comments have mostly been filled with complete nonsense for years now. Itās sad to see it go considering how long itās been on the platform, but Iām more impressed by how Roblox tried to keep it going despite all that happened.
All I can say is please add the reviews feature from free models to marketplace items so at least one of the things comments were made for can live on. And on games too, Iād love to see it on games.

Those comments have really became a disaster throughout the years and Itās never changed. But it would be nice if it was always able to be read at least because it was a good way to get āinspirationā (defiantly not steal) for outfits, and to tell if the item was good or not. but still; its a complete mess

I totally get it. The servers running your SQL Server 2005 database are spontaneously combusting every Friday or so. Good riddance!

Usually I donāt agree with ROBLOX removing things but I understand this one, this has been abused for a while, I even saw this today bypassed in the comments section of a catalog item.
The comments are really nothing nowadays apart from bypassed stuff, spam and scams and just purely hateful comments by trolls.
Though I do want to see the forums return eventually but god I think we should have a system like vrchat/devforum where trusted users can only post instead of letting just anyone utilize it. 
I guess this is part 2 of the comments removal since I remember the comments for games got removed in either 2017 or 2018.
Long live billy and /e free.
On a related note does this pave the way eventually for removing private messages and party chats? since those are also abused, and I just have mine off nowadays since obviously that + DC and GD.

The next step is to disable links on group walls and give us some moderation tools for group wall messages.

As much as I donāt want this to happen, I see why they made the decision.
The comment section nowadays are either promoting scams or people spamming /e free which would make it pretty hard for people to use it for its intended use: Feedback.
The only thing I ask it to change the the deprecation date to when the proper feedback feature is added as it may take a while to roll out this feature.

This is overkill. The comments section needed a spam filter, not removal.

Letās stop pretending that group walls give you any insight at all.
I own an Experience with over 30 Million visits and my group wall is either copypastas or just gets closer to a Discord casual chat.
We need something like Steam reviews, a dedicated tab for āReviewsā where you can rate a game positively or negatively.
