Welcome to Scratch! Get started here!
Hello, and have a warm welcome to Scratch!Thank you so much! I'm honored to finally have the opportunity to post messages here!! XD
We're glad to have you as part of the community! We know how being new to something is like being lost in a forest at first, so I'm here to provide some tips and tricks on how to get involved with the Scratch community, and get to know everyone!
• A good way to get started in the community would be posting a topic in the New Scratchers forum. That will help you recognize some members in the community, and possibly meet new friends who will help you! Your topic doesn't have to be a long biography, you keep keep it short if that's what your comfortable with the most. For some ideas, you might want to check out this guide to Making a First Impression by ForeverArtist.
• A simple way to get familiar to the program would be just experimenting with the project editor! It's a good and quick way to discover the features quickly on your own. Who knows - You might create a fascinating project along the way! Never hurts to play around with the program for a while.
• Another good way to get involved with the community would be posting on the forums often. Helping others, posting on discussion threads, reporting glitches to the Scratch Team, all that can help you get involved!
• Don't be shy to ask anyone if you need to ask a question. All of us will be happy to help a New Scratcher in need, and will definitely do the best we can to help. If you are looking for help currently, good places to check out would be the following forums below:
- Help With Scripts: Need help with your Scratch project? Ask here!
- Requests: Looking for something? Want to offer your skills to others?
- Questions About Scratch: Post general questions about Scratch here.
• Here are some more great threads that you can look at to learn more about how the Scratch website works.

It wont be fixed soon because the system was corrupted. The earliest power will be restored and fixed in Early-november 2024.when is it going to be fixed?Really?yes thats true man The invite to become scratcher system brokenThat's because he made those studios before the July 2021 Guys have you look at scratchtutorial711's status? Even though he is new scratcher he is able to create studio. I didn't know whystudio update when new scratchers used to be able to create studios. New Scratchers can no longer make studios because of the update.

So about 2 months ago there were server troubles, and I think it malfunctioned the system. Also, your account has to be at least 2 weeks old and regluar 1 month old to become a scratcher. Learn more -sniiiip-here.
What do you mean by “That's what happened”?
The server troubles did it i think (read the text above)
There's actually Scratch 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 before there was 1.4 (May 2009). but that Scratch 2.0 and Scratch 1.4 website is replaced by scratch 3.0. sorry but is like that
Also there were 2.0 alpha, and 2.0 beta before 2.0 was released (May 2013).
Then there was a 3.0 beta before 3.0 was released (Jan 2019).

Please stop complaining about how you can’t be a scratcher! It won’t be fixed soon and there’s no way to skip the new scratcher status. If you want to be a scratcher so badly wait until the system is fixed in November 2024. I know this is really unfair but there’s nothing you can do but wait.
