So everyone's a follower of kaj, but can you make kaj follow you?

Superdoggy

Argh, I'm trying everything, but apparently the first post just plain doesn't exist.

https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/feeds/topic/1/ –> server is scratching its head.

GET https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/1/source/ –> returns 404

Waaaaaah!

Yup. That exists. But anybody can get to that. Laaame.
It's not lame; you asked for the first topic on the forums. That's the only first topic that exists.
Well, actually it's the 14th post. Which means that there are 13 other mystery posts that came before it. xD

First 13 all give 404s. Guess the ST deleted them

Yep. I was hoping for a cdn.scratch.mit.edu/scratchr2/static/ type link but unfortunately I couldn't find any. xP

Maybe mobile view will give me more results. (unlikely)

Aaaaargh. https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/m/topic/1/ doesn't work either. xD xD well I had to try!

Not exactly. Scratch has a lot of caching, more than likely the forum posts still exist somewhere within cdn.scratch.mit.edu or somewhere.

I just don't know how I could find them. xD

They might be deleted though, I just think it would be rather unlikely that no trace of them remains.

Maybe we should start investigating early 1.x scratchers, projects, and posts (partially using the internet archive). I found one of the first popular projects; it was a simple pong project. Got about 300 views, but that was enough to bring it to the front page back in March 07.

Hi, I am a person! (I'm pretty sure I'm a person. Can someone confirm that I am a person for me?)

I wish I could find out how to do all those cool stuff. xP The most interesting thing I've ever done is follow Kaj, but I couldn't do it without someone telling me exactly how to do it. -_- So I'm basically a noob at it. Not like I'm too bothered about it, though. Also, this is the first comment I've ever written in the Advanced Topics forum. I always just look there, but not post. (Sorry this was off topic…)

I'm just a little cosmic hamster from Planet NO, which is in another dimension. Are you, too?

(I'm also a forum lurker…)

Check out my games, if you want to. I make sure to share a cool variety, but even though I haven't shared much, I try to make each one count, but they can only count to 7 so far.

Actually I gave up on the kaj thing - I'd gone through so many IDs that it looks like Kaj's infamous project is not accessible any longer. Sorry.

Just try, ok? You will only need to check at most 50928 requests.

For the topic thing? What are you looking for? (specifically)

Well that would just be this: http://scratchforums.blob8108.net/forums/viewtopic.php?id=12

It's the first functioning topic. I haven't a clue what the actual first topic would be though.

Oh and the first ever (accessible) “forum” post would probably be this: http://web.archive.org/web/20060831053456/http://weblogs.media.mit.edu/llk/scratch/archives/2005/10/setting_the_sen.html

It looks like it to me - it's just not formatted the way you'd expect. That's what they had, in terms of forums, back then.
