Why is downloading old projects gone?
there was a thingy that let you download older versions of projects with files compatible with older versions of scratch, but for some reason, it's no longer allowed, why isn't it? (Since august 2023)
THIS THING NEEDS AN UPDATE-
Be high contrast
I have a little preference: Please don't make comments about my forum posts on my profile, projects or studios. However, it's fine if @Quackidee_, @Gamerules09 or @ImmortalJelly13 does that.
I use the browser Google Chrome, and I use the OS Windows 11.
Note that on my other accounts I (mostly) use Microsoft Edge.

I LOVE Animal Crossing soooo much! I currently have every Animal Crossing game (including spin-offs) except the ones only in Japan.
I have a bunch of OCs, and most of them are based off my AC characters. However, I also have a (pretend) cat named Toodloo, and he's one of my main OCs(?) as well as Kitty Cat (from New Horizons), KittyCat (from New Leaf) and Meow.
New Leaf and Pocket Camp are my favorite AC games! (although I actually like all of them.) I wish I could have my real self move to the world of Animal Crossing!
when green flag clickedHow did you find this? Tell me on my profile!
Go to AC
define Go to AC
Escape the real world and move to AC
Anyways, here are some random links that used to be in a place where everyone could see them. I buried them here because I don't think everyone needs to see it.

Why is downloading old projects gone?
A long time ago, people were able to view unshared projects on third-party websites such as TurboWarp. This meant people could view projects before they were ready to be shared. The ability to view unshared projects was later removed on the 10th of November, 2022.[source]
Some rules that aren't mentioned or clarified in the Community Guidelines or the Terms of Use:
- 'The Browser Extension/Userscript Policy' (why you can't say the name of a certain browser extension that lots of Scratchers use)
- '“Art theft” and our remixing policy' (why people are allowed to recolour your OCs with credit)
- 'Shops, Points, and Pretend Currency Systems' (why you technically aren't allowed to use follows as a prize in contests)
- '“Music Sharing” Projects' (why that Imagine Dragons music project from 2021 was taken down)
- “Face Reveal” Projects (why you're not allowed to share your face on Scratch, even if someone wants to draw a portrait of you)
- “Five Nights at Freddy's” (why that fangame you spent a month working on, complete with jumpscares and a traumatising backstory, is not allowed)

[source]Yeah, but what about the thingy that happened in August 2023? A long time ago, people were able to view unshared projects on third-party websites such as TurboWarp.

Why is downloading old projects gone?
I don't think there was any way to download the legacy version of projects in vanilla Scratch anyway, so the ST just removed that API to clean things up probably.

Which website? And any project made in the timezone of 1.x/2.0 is compatible with 1.x and 2.0 offline player respectivelyUm, there was a website that let you do that I don't think there was any way to download the legacy version of projects in vanilla Scratch anyway, so the ST just removed that API to clean things up probably.

(#5)if you mean https://forkphorus.github.io/sb-downloader/, that is not part of vanilla Scratch. And I said:Um, there was a website that let you do that I don't think there was any way to download the legacy version of projects in vanilla Scratch anyway, so the ST just removed that API to clean things up probably.
