The bad news for you is that FE is very important and your game will be incredibly better with it on...but the good news is that the conversion isn't that difficult, you can read about it here http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Converting_Experimental_Mode_Games Vulkarin 581 — 6y

Filtering Enabled basically prevents exploiting being done to the whole server. For example, with Filtering Enabled if you were to exploit the color of the baseplate it would only be seen for you the Client and it would not affect your server.

Without FilteringEnabled, exploiters can inject any script they want into your game and do anything they want. They can delete maps, kill/kick all players, give themselves any powers/items; anything you can do in a script they can do. When it is enabled, it prevents anything injected on the client from being visible to all other players. If the game has FilteringEnabled, anything the exploiters do are only visible to themselves, and it doesn’t effect anyone else. Any large games should have FilteringEnabled otherwise the game will be rendered unplayable by exploiters.

1.All players under the age of 13 cant play the game 2.The game will eventually be exploited making the game better or worst depending on the exploitie. 3. If number 2 happens, Your game could be copied and duplicated... and you will possibly cry.

disclaimer: on number 3, that's at least what I've heard C:
