It's been confirmed that the April Fools forum will be leaving after April Fools, but I think it should be archived instead. (Nobody would be able to post, but they would be able to read posts that were made.) I don't want to spam Scratch's servers with some sort of webcrawler.

massive support

the forum should be hidden and the topics closed, but dustbinning them would be extra work for nothing.

It would be kind of fun to be able to look back on our temporary insanity. I think that would be cool.

Maybe a button saying April Fools Topic Archives and then a pop-up with a year selector.

And then it will show all the topics for that year on April fools fourm

The only real alternative is using the Wayback Machine, but we can't archive EVERYTHING on the forum with that method.

It would be cool to look back at when I started doing april fools even now I look back at where I came from 7 followers the times I was making quirky projects and no one (luckly) saw them it would just be fun to remember all the people we meet along the way but lets only save the good nes in a file at the very back of Scratch a tradition to look at the old scratch and the old inactive people!

Support. I would love to cringe at my old self. But as the (only one topic was) 2022 one was archived let's hope this one is as well. I still am getting ready to end the party and I am archiving the emo topic.
