Profile Views gone from Roblox!

I posted about this the other week, and I have found a forum started by Chief Justus with information on why Roblox scrapped profile views, something I felt was wrong. Here is what he had to say:

"As you may have noticed, the profile view statistic is no longer available. This is an intentional change.

Profile views updated in real time. But with more than 10 million unique visitors and almost 2 billion (yes, billion) page views each month on ROBLOX.com – not to mention the very frequent abuse of profile views through F5ing -- the database demands of this feature grew to far outweigh any possible benefit it might offer. In fact, we believe that profile views – like other quantity-not-quality metrics that are easily cheated – don’t really provide any real value as a measure of, well, anything. We would much rather see other measures of quality and value and will be adding such features in the coming months.

Nevertheless, it is possible – and no promises here – that we might consider re-implementing the feature at some point in the future. If that were to be done, it is likely that profile views would only be viewable to the profile owner and that they would be updated not in real time but on a regular but less frequent basis – say, weekly.

We’d like to hear what you have to say. Should profile views return, even in the format described above? What other metrics – more valuable, less cheat-prone – would you like to see provided? The floor is yours."
