there seems to be some sort of weird scratch copy called (removed by moderator - please don't link to questionable sites)
did the scratch team have anything to do with it or is it iligel!

Once we had another topic about leanscratch. It's a copy of the site designed to trick us into logging in and stealing our passwords (phishing). DO NOT log in, and if you already did, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD!!!

ok we should tell the scratch team!

It isn't associated with the Scratch Team. Don't use it – it might be a phishing site.

The site is not by the Scratch Team.

According to another topic, it is a Chinese clone of the site.

There is a chance LeanScratch could steal information from your Scratch account (according to the same topic), so I recommend not to access the site.

Edit: Double ninja'd!

It might be for phishing. Maybe it isn't.

Well if it's not, what is it? Failed archiving?

The purpose of LeanScratch might not have been given at all on the site, as it is a clone of the Scratch Site, it might not have any non-user-generated content not copied from Scratch,

It cannot be failed archiving - if someone want to archive, they must remove the login section-, also the site's name is weird. If someone will write their password, that's risky.

As a note: Leanscratch.com is blanked now and SausageMcSausage's reference deleted.

Is there any proof it does? It's daunting to make such claims without proof.

We are aware of it. We don't know what it is. It's not associated with us. It might be dangerous - we suggest you leave it alone.
