Update on Guilded and Communities

nvidxs · 2025-10-01T15:35:57.854Z

so let me get this straight

you buy guilded, you promote guilded, you add guilded features to roblox groups (i am not calling it “communities” thats corporate slop) which people used

and now you decided “hm lets kill it off” what was the point in buying something you decided to sunset ages later on?

edit: and shutting down guilded to replace it with your own half baked features because you can’t be asked to manage another platform?

Roblox always disappoints. Been 4 years developing and maintaining TouchGuild, a library for interacting with Guilded, and with time, Guilded has been slowly abandoned, nothing new while there were a lot of expectations, a growing user base with developers building apps on Guilded, for Guilded, and this is how we have been rewarded, by giving little to no recognition for what we’ve done for the platform, yet after the forced Roblox connection changes a lot did leave, but a lot also did stay, for their communities, for their apps, for the cohesion within the platform itself, the livelihood, but all this has to end, because of poor management from Roblox that had no serious plan for it, the purchase was the beginning of the end, and we all knew it when we got forced Roblox login while a huge part of the user base aren’t Roblox players, and after breaking the promise of Guilded staying an independent product, promise made by Roblox back when it was purchased.

Innovation stagnated to the point that we had to abstract away from the Guilded API to make new things happen within a chat box without any control over the UI. To innovate I had to create Application Commands before they were even introduced, in a tricky way as it would use a command parsing system that would behave like slash commands, and much more, we were limited by Guilded’s stagnation when it comes to the developer API, because Roblox certainly prevented anything significant from happening, and it has been 2 years like this, without any update, with an API that lacks major features, even the simplest ones, an API that has been restricted more and more over time while it was already limiting. We as developers had to think outside the box, the box of the API, to bring to Guilded what’s never been added to the platform through workarounds and abstractions. That’s how bad it was, but it was the perks of TouchGuild as a library, one that did seek much more than what Guilded offered and made the API cleaner to use.

Thank you Roblox, keep up developing a centralized platform, but if this one ever fails, where is your other businesses that can keep the main company surviving? Centralizing everything isn’t all advantageous, and maybe respecting previously made promises for the platform would’ve made you gain greater reputation among users. Even if most people on Roblox are children, they do grow up, and they do get to notice and get opinionated, so, beware from all your doings, I do believe in accountability and companies may face the consequences of it in the long run.

Yeah, the only reason I used guilded was because of the webhook features working better than discord. I hate using proxies, but unless someone has a fix for roblox webhooks on discord, then back to proxies I will unfortunately have to go.

Thanks for the free avatar bundle I received in 2024 by the way

“hi guys it’s david bazooka from roblox corporation and i made $10,000,000,000 by deleting guilded after i just bought it”
i get you’re making communities and stuff but if that were the case (and i would assume already the plan) why would you even buy guilded

CoolJohnnyboy · 2025-10-03T19:26:57.084Z

Not sure if someone has mentioned this or not already (there are nearly 200 posts on this thread), but what people who used Guilded for webhook logs do?

My development group used webhooks to log admin commands, potential exploiters, potential pain points for bugs, etc.

We used to use Discord, but when ROBLOX bought Guilded in 2021, it seems like Discord started to block webhooks that originated from ROBLOX. Until 2 years ago, we used a ton of different proxies that would eventually also get blocked by Discord before we switched to Guilded.

What are we supposed to do now besides create our own hosting service???

RajAdventures:

Will the features I use on Guilded be available in Communities?

As a priority before the end of this year, we remain committed to supporting Announcements and intend to make them available directly within Roblox Communities, since we know many creators use this tool to engage with their communities.

Will announcement history be supported in the near future? Part of what I liked with the shift from group shouts to Guilded announcements is that you could visit the Guilded server and catch up on older updates.

wearepolicecar · 2025-10-04T06:01:17.513Z

Finally I don’t have to use Guilded for announcements lol

QwertyEthics · 2025-10-04T23:51:19.420Z

Ah yes so basically your bringing back what essentially is the old roblox forums. RIP guilded, shafted by roblox before even having a chance at competing with discord!

They already destroyed this chance months ago when they forced Roblox account linking for all Guilded users, this change only threw the final nail in the coffin.

GhostGamerMiku0_o · 2025-10-05T05:00:26.663Z

buys Guilded then Kills it lol

Aussie_NotOk · 2025-10-06T16:36:37.606Z

The entire site will cease operations.

CoolJohnnyboy · 2025-10-09T01:40:52.126Z

Following up on this, it seems like Discord has allowed ROBLOX webhooks again; not sure when this happened.

I am worried that at some point Discord could randomly disable them again.

Still a shame the fate that awaits Guilded.

ToTheZIndustry · 2025-10-09T16:59:55.302Z

I only used Guilded for the free bundle and the ability to post images in groups. Buying Guilded just to “sunset” it is such a waste of money though.
I just so happened to close my Guilded server exactly at the time this topic got posted.

yt_leon90 · 2025-10-11T10:53:44.934Z

why not make it open source, guilded is very good platform and i believe many people want to continue using it

Giuyo4 · 2025-10-17T19:33:30.277Z

rip guilded and rip groups
i feel like roblox isnt robloxing anymore :c

Giuyo4 · 2025-10-17T19:34:39.494Z
