ive heard 2007 was the best, unluckily i joined in 2008 so i never got to see for myself if it was that good. anyway i agree, people quit for mainly 1 reason...popularity. most people on scratch care too much about becoming popular on scratch. it was supposed to be about having fun creating projects and sharing ideas with everyone. im only gonna quit if i get bored of scratch which will probably never happen.
I support. I really like how you are focusing on the years rather than the people that came in them. I am a 2009 scratcher, so often when I look at projects like this I get insulted, but not this one! :)
Without TBG, indeed :) You know, we mods were voting and we all agreed it should be removed at the same time people were posting "STOP worrying they WONT delete TBG they never said they would"
Its really better right now, but I still think there should be more focus on displaying all kinds of projects on the frontpage instead of that art. :/
*sigh*... if I have to go through distress, why did I join scratch in the first place? I came here to make projects and have fun, not to find some text games on the forums that weren't even programmed on scratch 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4!
another problem is that a lot of the most epic scratchers have moved on to different languages. skyred, m44, addzero, zelda123, seancanoodle, ffred, and bosox397. all epik scratchers. all gone, only once-in-a-while going online.
Beautiful...I get the point of your argument,and I support this cause...but how could I help?Post links to this project,maybe?I joined in 2009,so I don't really know what scratch was like then.If i'd just joined a little earlier...well,anyway,how can we help?
I joined in 2009 and got really low comments...
Actually, the one I copied from you ( gave you entire credit) got the most comments! can we be friends? you rock!
I also support I'm the 2nd user of this account (but 1st in handsomeness XD) anyway I copied this project and posted it to raise awareness is that O.K. ?
I totally agree. Some of my BFFs (from the beginning of the year) quit because of popuarity! I wish some people would just have fun making projects and not focus on how many views or comments they get. I don't get as much views as Maki-Tak or nikkiperson2 and you don't see my complaning
I am a late 08'er, most of the quitting started by bullies, hackers, and people who got attention by lies. 09 was worse. Let's hope that in 2010..scratch would be as good as a heavenly angel touch, instead of scratch being as dead as latin language.
if u wanna play tbg, either go to an mmorpg site that's 3d and all, or go to a text based mmorpg, I had another account on about 2 years ago, but forgot about it

You're quite right. Scratch used to be about programming, now it's kinda like YouTube.
2009, I think.
ive heard 2007 was the best, unluckily i joined in 2008 so i never got to see for myself if it was that good. anyway i agree, people quit for mainly 1 reason...popularity. most people on scratch care too much about becoming popular on scratch. it was supposed to be about having fun creating projects and sharing ideas with everyone. im only gonna quit if i get bored of scratch which will probably never happen.
2010: Even worse.
I SUPPORTED YOU!!! WHERE IS MY NAME?
yes, I support this... now, lets hope that this year is better.
TBG isn't the focus of scratch though.
Finally, someone who says this without insulting those who started in 2009.
I support. I really like how you are focusing on the years rather than the people that came in them. I am a 2009 scratcher, so often when I look at projects like this I get insulted, but not this one! :)
I support too!
Without TBG, indeed :) You know, we mods were voting and we all agreed it should be removed at the same time people were posting "STOP worrying they WONT delete TBG they never said they would" Its really better right now, but I still think there should be more focus on displaying all kinds of projects on the frontpage instead of that art. :/
I SUPPORT IHAVEAMAC!!! NO MORE TEXT BASED GAMES! NO MORE PEOPLE QUITTING SCRATCH!
you are right, text based games in the forums, if they hadn't started, i would be popular
*sigh*... if I have to go through distress, why did I join scratch in the first place? I came here to make projects and have fun, not to find some text games on the forums that weren't even programmed on scratch 1.2, 1.3, or 1.4!
(view all replies)True. True. However, sometimes you need to go through pain to better day.
why are you grounded?
:( NOT GOOD AT ALL I JOINED IN 2008
grounded huh? to bad wudya do or would you rather not say? I'm trying not to pry
you, ihaveamac, are one of the old croud i remember from when i first joined up.
another problem is that a lot of the most epic scratchers have moved on to different languages. skyred, m44, addzero, zelda123, seancanoodle, ffred, and bosox397. all epik scratchers. all gone, only once-in-a-while going online.

I gave you credit on mine
I also support I'm the 2nd user of this account (but 1st in handsomeness XD) anyway I copied this project and posted it to raise awareness is that O.K. ?

I still focus on projects...
It was awesome back in 07.
07 I upport!
I support. I signed up in 2007, it was great back then.
im zelm on roblox
08 was kinda good
Ah, good old '07 thems where the good days were.
man... almost everybody here is talking about 2007 to bad I joined in 2009...
Ahhhhh, good times. Archmage was THE most popular Scratcher, and nobody really cared about popularity.
2007 was the best year!
I totally agree. Some of my BFFs (from the beginning of the year) quit because of popuarity! I wish some people would just have fun making projects and not focus on how many views or comments they get. I don't get as much views as Maki-Tak or nikkiperson2 and you don't see my complaning
sighn me up! back in 07 good times.
I agree... What'd you do to get grounded, lol?
Look at my school grades.
(view all replies)he's grounded... so i don't think he'll respond right now....
(view all replies)i created my account in late '07, and i've never really thought about it that way, but now that i think back, i think that your absolutely right
i will never quit
I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stop quitting scratch people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SCRATCH RULES!!!!!!! quit quiting (eheheheh)
im an '07er :D (yay! part of the club for once)

(view all replies)agreed. although i use to swear alot then...
Now THATS bad!
I hate swearing (don't take that offenseivly) I don't think I spelled that right anyway I'm glad you (Almost) quit swearing alright?
(view all replies)yeah, i've seen it
(view all replies)lol
(view all replies)I agree!!!!!!!!
Ha ha ha... Make 2010 a better year? I agree, but I don't think that the TBGers and RPGers will change their ways.
what are RPG people?
I'll guess: not supporting?
(view all replies)I AGREE!
I agree- But this is a text based game!
but it's better than most...
(view all replies)i agree and support
me to
(view all replies)yes, I agree, I flagged many mean comments, projects, and tags. yesh now I asupport
btw, my old account got deleted for some reason D:
support*
i support
I suppose I support...but what is wrong with Text Based Games?
yeah, scratch wasn't supposed to be about forum games, it was supposed to be about projects, and other people making suggestions on other's projects
(view all replies)They are becoming Scratch's entertainment. Look! It has more posts than even Show and Tell now!
(view all replies)Add me to the supporters list.
me to (if you want, I like to be polite)
alright
yo ihaveamac- i think u added me 2 ur friends list on roblox - i am superzac8 there
add me 2 the supporters list
i joined late 07 so i guess i'll support. also my friend quit :(
hooray my freind is coming back!
I support your theories... it's all the "social" scratchers fighting eachother. I feel sorry for them, but the rest of us are busy fighting ourselves!
Add me to your supporters list, please.
(view all replies)im an 08'er... but I think it was early 08. Scratch did seem a nicer place...
I'm an 08'er as well.
(view all replies)I support
(view all replies)Woops I mean 09'er. But scratch was almost like the golden age in the way early 2009.
No. The Golden Age was in early 2007 to late 2008. then it crumbled.
(view all replies)I am a late 08'er, most of the quitting started by bullies, hackers, and people who got attention by lies. 09 was worse. Let's hope that in 2010..scratch would be as good as a heavenly angel touch, instead of scratch being as dead as latin language.
So I support this.
(view all replies)if u wanna play tbg, either go to an mmorpg site that's 3d and all, or go to a text based mmorpg, I had another account on about 2 years ago, but forgot about it
So you support this? (Read the other comments)
(view all replies)your totally right- another issue you should put up is that people make too many anime projects with '1 sprite and 0 scripts'
you are right, superzac
