Did scratch not do anything for April Fools this year?

Not even the cat blocks I was hoping we’d see them again at least lol

There’s the little ; at the bottom page (like every year lol) but usually they do something more silly

Unless I’m just expecting too much from them sorry LMAO

They did a themed SDS for this year. It doesn't look like they made any changes to the site or editor other than the semicolon. To my understanding, the development team is stretched pretty thin and needs to prioritize things like keeping the website running over “fun” features that only appear for a day.

To be clear the ; is automated and did not require the ST to do anything to implement.

While there hasn't been any official word on this - I suspect this is the case.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.
