Don't know if you've noticed, but we're growing! Yesterday we had more traffic to the site than ever before. As a result, we've had to shift our energy to speeding things up so our servers can handle the growing load.

* Faster (and more efficient!) comment loading on all pages
* More stuff is cached! (That's a fancy way of saying: we're keeping stuff in our server's memory instead of reading it from the disk.)
* Project views are now shown on the explore page
* Bunches of little speedups in the backend

Even with these optimizations, the site is carrying a lot of traffic these days - especially during the week when schools are actively using it. So we're going to keep focusing on speed and glitches over the next few weeks.

Scratch On!

Cool

I've noticed it was a little faster.

Me too! Great job Scratch team!

That's good to here

aww, search is still laggy

i wouldn't mind a ~3hr forum downtime to make a search index or something.

Awesome! I have actually noticed things getting speedier! By the way, there is a glitch where if you are signed out you can still see and click “follow discussion” and have it change to “unfollow”

I agree

I have a question. Is there a way to make the custom blocks for all sprites (If so please tell me), if not would you please make it a future update. thank you for reading, scratch is the best
I hope scratch continues to grow

ok

I wonder what would happen if 2000 people all looked at the same project all at once, and that project added all of their usernames to a cloud list. That would probably crash the servers, am I right?

cool

I think some of the traffic was my Technology class, my teacher just found out about Scratch, but I had to do more advanced stuff
So a class of 38 is now added to Scratch…

Nope, scratch is too epic for crashing!
