I have been a forumer since late 2022, and have never found it out

Also, isn't Connecting to the Physical World less active?

It has more pages, though. Besides, logically, what forum would that be combined with?

Unlike OSP, CttPW actually has a use. Most of what would be discussed in OSP already winds up in ATs- and I think even that's a minority- most of the people working on wind up at GitHub anyways because they either 1) don't have a Scratch account, and don't want to make one, 2) don't know about the forums, or 3) don't want to post somewhere where it won't be noticed anyways when they could just make an issue or PR.

i support, the foss forum's a good idea but it's rarely used (most little kiddies don't have github, scratch)
edited because i forgot to add my signature support :skull:

It’s pretty much dead, and I feel like it can be integrated within Advanced Topics.

No support, just because it is dead doesn’t mean nobody would find it useful.
The Norwegian and Catalan forums are all dead too, but somebody might want to post a topic there because they don’t know English very well and they want their questions answered

some other languages subforums are also dead, yet they’re there
besides, the latest non-scratch-team posts are still in this month, which is still more decently active than some other languages subforums

You'd be able to do this in Advanced Topics still. The original poster also mentioned that the forum could be closed, with all of the topics moved to Advanced Topics.

No Support - I don’t support your suggestion for the following reasons:

- They are also questions about them
- TubroWarp is an example of them
- Also look at the list

Most of which would be fine in Advanced Topics or Developing Scratch Extensions anyways

Actually it isn't (Scratch mod-related topics go in ATs, not OSP- OSP is really for the ST's open source projects), and TurboWarp's topic is in ATs.

MyScratchedAccount wrote:

Would be fine in ATs or even QaS

MyScratchedAccount wrote:

PMMP (Playful Mathematicians Math Playground) by MandelbrotOS (New Posts)
Shouldn't be there- might work better in ATs or TIMAC (maybe).

MyScratchedAccount wrote:

Should not be there- that would fit better in ATs or QaS.

MyScratchedAccount wrote:

Should be in ATs- it's not related to OSP at all.

Isn't a topic…?

Is a duplicate of a sticky

Finally, a topic that goes there

MyScratchedAccount wrote:

TI-84 Support For Scratch by undeterminstic (New Posts)
Should really be in ATs.

MyScratchedAccount wrote:

What's open source? by Meme_master235 (New Posts)
As a question about the forum, this is acceptable in this case, although it would also work in QaS.

MyScratchedAccount wrote:

TurboWarp project_url parameter by georgek0 (New Posts)
Should really be in ATs (or even TurboWarp's topic), as it's not about the Scratch Team's open-source projects.

MyScratchedAccount wrote:

And get very infrequent replies.

I will say that is OSP is closed down, an archive of it should be kept- close all the topics in it and prevent new ones from being made (kind of like Announcements).

Most of the topics in OSP are still irrelevant.

For that reasoning, we should close the new scratcher's forum too.
