whats the forum id?

Forum ID is 51 I believe

Some screenshots:

That's because it's a private forum.

I doubt it's even supposed to be accessible still, and even if so the ST certainly would have implemented a feature to keep random Scratchers away from getting to it through an ID
However from the screenshots the project appears to be dead with the most recent post one asking if it was dead with 2 views - it seems like an interesting thing that I would click on, not just pass up

We have got to revive this. It sounds so cool!

Imagine being able to just code a script that checks if someone is following you.

I suggested the addition of community blocks here.

I got to experience it. Unfortunately, I couldn't access it when I switched to a new computer.

I just realised - could that be cookies? The fact that you can't access it now? (sorry for just joining this conversation randomly btw)

if <not <(followers of [CatIsFluffy]) contains (username)>> then
say [You have to follow CatIsFluffy before you can use this project.]
stop [all v]
end
This is probably why it was cancelled.

it could be hacked to allow them, though - the project could still be modified

What if the project requires cloud access or uses editor blocking techniques?

I found this one guy on YouTube who recorded it. To my knowledge, they might be the only person who has actual footage directly from the site.

Seemingly, this was the resulting research paper.
