[quote] Honestly, I think you guys are just too uptight. You need to lay back a little. Imagination is was makes games great. Imagination doesn’t come from sitting on your ass all day and do absolutely nothing. You need to explore. Typically games reflect a person’s attractions to a certain genre, their imagination drives them to make it and finish it. That’s what happens when people get older, their imagination decreases, that’s why book writers and poem makers are well… Imaginative.
TL;DR - Playing games expands imagination, so why not expand your imagination? This maybe a weak argument, but really. Guys, just relax. [/quote]
If I had to type in games.roblox.com to get to this forum I might be more inclined to agree with you.
As long as it’s called RBXDev, though, I’m going to have to disagree. There’s also not an overabundance of forum games that would necessitate a whole dedicated subforum. The lounge does a fine job of containing them.

It’s not called RBXDev… It’s called developer.roblox.com as far as the URL goes.
If you’re referring to the post I made a month ago when this thread was made, I don’t see how you can be surprised that my opinions have changed since then. This forum is a constantly evolving place and it needs to be handled with a constantly evolving mindset.
I’d appreciate if it we could have a discussion about something that was said this month.
EDIT: No, we’re not going to discuss the purpose of the lounge. That’s outside of the scope of this thread. If you want to discuss that you need to make a new thread.

I’m still against it but not for the same reason. My reason is that there’s not an overabundance of game threads that would necessitate a dedicated forum.
I think the forum is what we make of it. If we have a subforum dedicated to games and jokes then maybe everyone would stop complaining about games and jokes in other subforums. Of course, there’s no point if there isn’t enough threads to populate a games forum and I don’t think there will be.
The RbxDev forums are meant to be a funny place where you can post jokes and pictures of cats doing tricks. If you would like that kind of discussion then please go to the ROBLOX forums or use a other medium.
In a way we are all colleagues, and colleagues like to joke around a lot. There’s a time for work of course, (and that’s when in studio not browsing the forum) I find this forum a place to see what’s going on with a bunch of developers. Whether that’s talking about a new game, an idea, suggesting features for the Roblox team, game monetization, new trends, or posting selfies, learning personality types, and posting pictures of your younger self I really don’t need to take this forum to the point where everything I post is 100% about Roblox game development.
Loosen up a bit and this forum is awesome!
Imagine this forum as an office in the break room, you don’t want to be that person who is always 100% “in work mode” about everything.
