Groups could have personal forums for themselves that could be “linked” to games (access from both group and game’s page)
Reason why it should be the group that creates/ owns the forum instead of the place? Lower frequency of these forums being created, and the rank specific options make it easier to say who can moderate your own forums, sticky posts, etc.
This would help with things such as:
[ul]
[li]Polls[/li]
[li]User feedback[/li]
[li]Bug reports[/li]
[li]Setting up events[/li]
[li]Gameplay discussion (competitive/ meetups)[/li]
[li]Map submissions[/li]
[/ul]
With a properly supported reply system, this would be a large step up from what comments and group walls are being used for today.
System identical to Steam Discussions would be nice
Basically, the problem is that there’s no way to actually “converse” about a game unless you use a third party website (like the subreddit for Apocalypse Rising)as comments on the game are useless as always. Add to the fact that signing up for a third party website takes more work than a lot of users are willing to give
Heck, make this feature cost a large amount of Robux (10k+) and I will buy it in a heartbeat
Not to mention that offsite links, even those that lead to appropriate sites, are “against the rules” and moderators without a hint of common sense may delete your game for.
You’re right that the problem is that there’s no way to converse about the game though. Comments and a couple threads on the normal forums can’t possibly be used to converse about a particular game. I had thought about making an in-game overlay which would contain “forums” for bug reports, suggestions, and general discussion, but I decided not to because that would use way too many datastore requests.
[quote] Sounds like some good ideas, I hope they’ll be added.
But as someone else mentioned, make it cost. [/quote]
The initial one should be free – every new category added should cost a certain amount of Robux. “Don’t charge devs” – a development group shouldn’t have to pay for a means to get proper feedback according to ROBLOX. If they want to organize their forums further, that will cost them.
