What happened to IsOnline?

As some of you know, IsOnline is a Chrome extension for Scratch that can tell you whether a user is online or not. I've tried multiple times to find and instill this extension but, where did it go? Every single link that claims to lead to IsOnline either is deleted or just redirects me to something that obviously isn't IsOnline. I can't find this extension in the Chrome Web Store either. So, has the extension been deleted? Or can I just not find it, and if so, could someone please give me a link? Thanks!

Scratchers can't give you a link here because advertising browser extensions is not allowed on Scratch.

Could you just tell me whether it exists or not?

And… you're not advertising it just by giving me a link

To rephrase it: neither advertising, nor posting a link to, a browser extension is allowed on Scratch. This includes isOnline, so if someone were to post a link to isOnline anywhere on Scratch, we would remove it.

Sorry for not being much help in this area, but … I don't know whether isOnline currently exists. I feel like I remember hearing about the creator taking it down due to the new extension policy.

It's been removed afaik. There's not much point to having an extension stay up on the Chrome and Firefox extension pages that requires people to know about it and install it in order to work properly if you guys ban any discussion regarding browser extensions on the site it was designed to be used on.

Wait where is the close button.

It should be at the bottom left under the “submit” button.

I’ll close it for you, then.

In the future, if you don’t see a “Close Topic” button, you can use the Report button and ask a moderator to close it for you.
