You might want to post a topic about that in the Questions about Scratch forum. Trust me, you will get more answers than posting on someone else's topic.

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?
Nope, scratch is too epic for crashing!

Oh yeah? Test your hypothesis with this. It was BORN to crash Scratch. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/13139914/

I noticed it was faster! This is really good! A few days ago it took fo-evar to load the projects and comments! Now? It's back up and running well! Go scratch team!

* 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!

can you add the option to take out your project from a studio?

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

There is, all you have to do is put your script that tells what you want the block to do and the custom block into your backpack. Then you can drag it into any sprite!

I don't know if its because of the update, but sound file uploads have speed up considerably. Great job scratch team!

Thank you! I was wondering of a request update. I know it isn't possible to drag an image as an icon or sprite, but I'd like that to be possible. Please make it happen.
