Very nice post. You may want to mention Alice in #9. It is pretty much a harder version of scratch, but in 3d.

Convert your Scratch projects to JavaScript automatically with Leopard!

really useful to draw a rainbow .

I am looking forward to hearing from you!!!!!!!!

Best regards,

Isabela and my teacher Quico.

1. Back in 1.4, there was a useful list you could use to block users' comments, projects, etc. from your webpage. When will this return if at all?
2. Could we get a license or a special permit for making chat rooms, as long as we can moderate them ourselves or add scripting that could do it too? I bet just simply adding the username to whatever comment they make can reduce bullying almost completely. Not to mention a few tricks I know.
3. There seems to be a love-it “trap” now. Popularized projects tend to stay on the front page longer than those that are gathering their popularity. If you noticed, old projects (2-3 weeks old or more) remain front-paged for quite a while, then projects with very low love-its appear and disappear quickly, and it repeats. Maybe you could notify the Scratch Team to modify the time a project can stay on the front page…

Besides a list for rejected and one for pending, create one for most commonly suggested?
Things like realtime collaboration or but things the scratch team hasn't confirmed or rejected, but it's been suggested frequently.

There are way too many of those, though… :/

You should add something about apps.

Add profile badge/achievement systems to the list, please. See here to find exactly what I mean. More than one person has suggested this, but I feel it would harm Scratch's purpose and function, as well as down new users. They would make all kinds of trouble, like bragging and hate comments, for example

some random person wrote:
That guy thinks he's so cool just because he has that one acheivement, but he really sucks.

Basically what I'm saying is, Scratch is not a gaming site. It is for making and sharing projects, including games, but if you want acheivements for what you make, then sorry, it could be harmful. If you want achievements, program them into your projects, make a badge project for yourself and make it your profile feature, but we don't need this system for rating users.

Thanks for the ride, Scratch Team and community! Unfortunately, the time has come for me to move on from Scratch, so I'll no longer be using the forums. Thanks again, and farewell!
Invisible text! This will show you if a profile I claim to be mine IS mine. Just remember to visit the profile and see if I confirmed in the comments.
For old time's sake, see the revolutionary Laser Battle 2.0! Also see Unstoppable Game!

And no, the evil kumquats didn't alter my signature…

You have points. Even though I don't actually understand (Because i'm eight) I still think she has a point.

You don't have to respond them, just make a list with the link to the topic.

mathfreak231

For the scratchblocks tag, could you add that it is enabled and being tested on the wiki?

i have grown as a person. and ive grown, literally. none of my posts from before 2022 represent me accurately.

Exactly. At least then we don't have to remake forums for ideas already suggested.

lol, italics.

You know, there IS a way to make 3D scratch, and still have it easily accessible, make two seperate downloads; one for Scratch 2D, and one for Scratch 3D. Problem solved, that way beginners can use the 2D version, while more advanced users can move onto the 3D version. As for the potential problem of a lower framerate, 3D projects will probably have to be downloaded, like you could with 2D projects back in 1.0, I see no reason to at least CONSIDER this.
