Advanced Topics FAQ [UPDATED 5/10/16]
This topic serves as a “Frequently Asked Questions” topic for users visiting the ATs.
Please visit this topic before asking any questions such as “How do I convert .sb2 to .exe?” and the like.
Definitions
AT
The shortened name for the Advanced Topics
ATer
Someone who browses and actively posts on the AT.
Who is “thisandagain”?
Thisandagain is a Scratch Team member who actively posts on the AT forums. For some users, it has become a running joke to say that he should “pls explain” (read “please explain”) topics having to do with the Scratch website malfunctioning.
How do I get noticed here?
We are an extremely welcoming group of users and tend to be more mature than most of the Scratch website because we are older. When you visit here, please refrain from using excessive CAPS, emoticons, or Talking Like This, and most people will be more than willing to help you or support you.
I need some technical help.
If your problem has to do with Scratch, please see if your topic would be more appropriate for Bugs and Glitches or Questions about Scratch first. If you post there and no one knows what you're talking about, you can post here
If your problem does not have to do with Scratch, please ask a question on Stack Overflow before coming here.
Please be sure to use proper grammar and be nice while visiting Stack Overflow. It is a website full of adults, most with actual programming jobs, so they expect you to be on your best behavior there.
What Programming Language Should I Learn?
How Can I Hack Scratch Projects?
How do I convert Scratch projects to .exe or other formats?
Where can I learn…

How do I get started modding Scratch?
What is GitHub, and how do I use it?
What is GNU/Linux and how can I install it?

When I first came across this forum I was unaware of what the term AT(er) meant, so maybe include that?

Add a reminder that people should research technical questions rather than ask them here. We're not tech support yo.
As a long time Scratcher, I have found new meaning to the name “Scratch”: for me, it means to “scratch that itch”, to come back again and again to realize new ideas in this toy language, even when I'm capable of creating my projects in real programming languages years later. It's a friend that helped me to pursue programming and get me to enjoy its fruit. I'm certain many others who have walked this path as well have grown fond of its importance in their life.

It would be convenient to be able to link to separate posts in this topic for different stuff, but to be honest I think that it's too much of a trouble to go through and ask permission to remove all these posts. Are you still going to write more posts for your guide?
I am however tired of people posting these worn-out AT memes on my topic
