Intro
The forums are used for posting and socializing with other people in a text-based format. There are different sub-forums, each with different purposes. You should read all of the pinned threads, threads stuck at the top of the forum category, usually with a star beside them denoting its popularity in terms of views, before in a subforum. This will decrease the possibility of angering other forumers, and will ensure that you would not be banned by the Roblox Moderators for breaking the rules.

ROBLOX Talk
"This is the place for conversation about all things ROBLOX. Posts not pertaining to ROBLOX will be mercilessly pruned by our crack squad of moderators." This forum is dedicated to all things ROBLOX. It is the first forum in the list on the main forum page, and is also one of the most active ones. It contains the rules for the entire forum, which you can see by clicking here. Unfortunately, due to the large number of people who use that forum, you may find several off topic posts. Another common activity that violates the rules is forum wars, usually Roblox Talk vs. Off Topic. These should be avoided, as they generate large amounts of spam and hurt feelings. If you ever see someone trying to start a forum war, you should report them.

Abbreviation: RT.

Let's Make a Deal
"Buy buy buy, sell sell sell! This is the place to tell everyone what you have for sale. You can also post to see if anyone is selling that special thing you really want!" When Limited and unique hats, faces, and gear were released (along with selling them), this forum was made to sell players' Limited/Limited-U items. Groups have been sold as well. However, selling groups breaks Roblox's Terms of Service, and should not be done. You should report anyone you see trying to sell a group.

Abbreviation: LMaD

Suggestions and Ideas
"Do you have a suggestion for how to make ROBLOX better? Share your feedback here." This subforum was made to suggest new Roblox features, for either the game or the website. Many ideas may not be implemented, but the Roblox Developers read that subforum daily. Ideas that are viewed as bad, or even as absurd by other posters usually receive a great amount of criticism. However, ideas that are liked by a large number of people can sometimes draw a great amount of attention, leading to pages upon pages of replies to the thread.

Abbreviation: S&I

Game Design
"The place to discuss about the novel game ideas that you are possibly working on. This is not the place to hire people nor help requests."

Building Helpers
"Learn the ins and outs of building structures in ROBLOX here! Share your techniques with other builders, discuss designs, and draft plans. Help others!" This subforum is used to get help with Roblox building from other users.

Abbreviation: BH'ers.

Scripting Helpers
"Need help with a script you are writing? Need to edit an existing script? This is the place to share your 1337 programming skills and help others! [For advanced ROBLOX users.]"

This subforum is used to get help with Roblox scripting from other users.

ROBLOX Mobile
"Discuss mobile versions of the ROBLOX website, the iPhone app, and playing ROBLOX on the iPad."

Technical Issues
"This is the place to find resources for technical issues with ROBLOX and post your bug reports!"

This is the place to find resources for technical issues with ROBLOX, and to post your bug reports.

Game Test (www.gametest1.roblox.com)
"This is the place to post about www.gametest1.roblox.com about the ROBLOX game and Studio. [Note: Test servers may not be up all the time.]"

This forum is for discussing the Roblox game test site, and to report any bugs you discovered there.

"This is the place to post about the new version of ROBLOX Studio for Mac and Windows."

Clans & Guilds
"Talk about what’s going on in your Clans, Companies, and Guilds, and about the Groups feature in general."

In this subforum, groups advertise their groups or post anything regarding their group. Currently, flame wars between many war groups are ongoing, in which some group members post some criticisms aimed at the other group. This is one example of a flame post a group member can possibly post:

"RAT is winning the war. All that VAK is doing is empty server raid" 

Inflammatory posts similar to the above example generally draw less attention from the subforum, and users prefer to advertise their group.

Abbreviation: C&G

Off Topic
"When no other forum makes sense for your post, Off Topic will help it make even less sense. Anything that doesn't fit into any of the other forums belongs here."

A subforum for users to post about things not related to ROBLOX. It is, however, home to many trolls, which results in a higher frequency of bans. Some Off Topic forumers are notorious for flame wars and forum raids. The Off Topic subforum section is never a good place to start posting if you are new to the Roblox forums, due to the fact that many of the forumers in Off Topic are hostile to newcomers.

Abbreviation: OT

This forum is used for movie-makers to discuss techniques, hire cast and crew, and to advertise their movies. More experienced users have their own production group, to save time finding actors on the forum. Many of the native and frequent forumers tend to have arguments and flame wars between each other, leaving it as one of the more discordant forums. Newer and less active forumers aren't usually involved in these arguments.

Abbreviation: LWIM

World Wide Chat
"This is the place to talk to players from your country, or make new friends from other countries! Everyone is welcome."
