Cool! I'm working on upgrading our site, to have buttons, and scratch players and stuff!

Hey guys! Our site is down, I have read my web stats and a scanner looking for faults and loop holes has been. I've looked up the name, it was under user agents, and It says something with a bad word in, to I won't repeat it. I think the site may have been hacked as the URL won't work at all, I can only get to the site via it's IP.

Ah. In that case, we may not need a site.

Hey guys! Sorry for inactivity; I was grounded for a while, but I'm back!

Scratch is growing!

Users
When I look at the statistics map, I see that almost every country in the world has scratchers in! In the lead is america with an awesome total of 909459 scratchers, then comes the UK with 302368 scratchers. In total there are currently 2,350,451 registered scratchers in the whole world. Not counting the users joining tomorrow, or the users who don't have an account.

Have no more room on your PC? - Got an old one?

If you have used up all your memory on you Windows PC, then this handy tip will help you…
(This is for Windows)

You will need:

A full PC (We tested with a Windows 7)
An old PC with empty storage, as long as it's usable, and has a internet/LAN connection, it's fine (We tested with Windows XP)
Router
2 X cables that plug into the router

1. Plug both PCs into the router using the cables.
2. Switch them on and let them boot.
3. Go to the control panel and select network/internet on one of the computers.
4. From here you should be able to set up file sharing.
5. Put both PCs on the same ‘workgroup’ and find the option to let every computer read and write.
6. To connect, go to my computer, and select networks and connect to your workgroup.

You can put the computer all around the building too, as long as it is connected to your LAN
