Oh, so you mean ike putting variabes and ists in a category caed “Data”?I don't think this woud be a good idea since in virtually every programming anguage, it's caed “variabes”.It's not that the variables is renamed to data but the categories renamed to data

No. I am agreeing with him. It is constructive. There is nothing wrong with that.Don't quote for no reason.Variables and lists aren't the only form of data. If you change a sprite's costume, or y position, or start up a sound, etc. that all creates data. Data is everywhere. Reporters from other categories provide as much data as variables do. And I know that handling variables and lists are commonly referred to as data, and other categories by their categories, but this is not even leaving behind the *very* indirect path to thinking outside the box.
No support. We should add back lists instead..

However, it doesn't add to the discussion; if one would like to explain their support or no support, they should create their own explanation instead of quoting someone else's.No. I am agreeing with him.

No. You are wrong. I exactly agree with him. It does add to the discussion as it shows someone agrees with someone's opinion they already put, without having to go over what is said again.However, it doesn't add to the discussion; if one would like to explain their support or no support, they should create their own explanation instead of quoting someone else's.No. I am agreeing with him.

This type of quoting, scratch team members are fine with. You are wrong.

Semi-Support, its called variables in a lot of programming languages, Data reminds me of the guy from Star Trek, Data sort of makes sense to me in the sense that Cloud variables store actual data.

Short-term data is still data nonetheless.not for long-term thoughSemi-Support, its called variables in a lot of programming languages, Data reminds me of the guy from Star Trek, Data sort of makes sense to me in the sense that Cloud variables store actual data.Normal variables store actual data too.

Why is this thread just “people don't understand what the word data means”? Data is information that is stored in memory, it's really not that hard to understand.
As for the suggestion itself, sure. It doesn't bother me very much either way honestly, but “variables” is pretty long, “data” is a more obvious title for really young kids in my opinion, and the name “variables” doesn't mention lists. (I guess lists are technically variables but ehh.) Support.

They weren't using it as a ballot box; they were saying they agreed with somebody else, but they didn't want to restate an opinion that had already been said.
