Nah, no support. Antarctica has a bit of personality — I'd rather bring back “Location not given” than remove Antarctica. Plus, what happens to all the penguins out there like Mr Penguin Alex?

I think the fact that Antarctica is there is a small quirk that's just funny to use. The Scratch Team has a reputation for having funny secrets hidden around the website, and this is one that I think is quite funny, fits well with the other secrets, and just doesn't need to be removed.

I'd much rather have Location not Given brought back instead of Antarctica removed, but that's a separate thread

Antarctica should stay as Antarctica. People might want it for trolling, and even though nobody probably lives full-time on Antactica, one scratcher actually went there for vacation. And having “location not given” on my profile would just feel… weird.

I don't see any good reason to remove it. No support.

MrFluffyPenguins

I plan on living in Antarctica at some point probably. I won't want my location to be “location not given”.

Super_Scratch_Bros20

Isn't this kind of rejected? After all, the only reason the “location not given” feature doesn't exist is so you can use Antarctica. I'm not sure that the Scratch Team will see it the other way around. Plus, “Antarctica” is a lot more fun and childish than “Location not given”.

Is it rejected…?

UnconstructivePoster

Honestly, I think it would be better to simply add the option of “location not given” without replacing anything. That way, people who want to set their location to Antarctica can do that, and people who just don't want their location/country public have a more explicit way of saying so if they want one.

So you think noone had Antartica as their first location? I'm not sure…

Scratchstats doesn`t rely on that. It`s the location the user last changed it to.

Scratch ≠ Scratchstats

No support. Antarctica (alongside other locations like Christmas Island) are used by most Scratchers to hide their location (usually the United States).
On the location dropdown, changing one of the locations to something like “Location not given” would remove the reason as to why this would be changed to begin with.

Maybe you could choose “I don't want to give out my location?”

What about the pengiuns like Mr_PengiunAlex? I prefer Antarctica as the concept of lots of Scratchers in Antarctica rather than living in an undisclosed space. It would also make those who chose to use the glitch feel less special.

They used a glitch, I don't see why they should be “special”.

Please be constructive. Why don't you support?

No? Za-Chary would've seen.

There are 7.8 billion humans and 65.1 million Scratchers. That are about 0,83%. 35*0.83% is 0.2905. About 0.3 scientists would use Scratch…

How did you even get those numbers?
Actually, the chance got bigger, there might be 36.5782775007 scientists using the same math from earlier.

0,2988 then.

But what was your formula? Mine was:

ap = Antarctic Population
wp = World Population
u = Scratch Users

Looks like I missed a part of your post

No support. Changing “location not given” to Antarctica would be really misleading; nobody really lives there and now you say people are living there?! Plus, I like “Location not given” just how it is.

You… got it in the wrong order. That means you support…
