Yes, it would

/hj is the worst tone indicator. It's confusing and ambiguous. I hate it. The point of tone indicators is to indicate tone, or the way that a piece of text should be read, but what does “half joking” mean? Do you just wake up in the morning and think “wow, I really have something I want to talk about seriously but also kinda not, IDK you decide.” It's useless. I hate it. It just provokes a deep rooted anger within me whenever I see it. People just comment /hj as if it makes any sense. It doesn't. Oh wow, it's a tone indicator that's has a relative meaning, how useful, I'll use it in every comment I post. NO. STOP IT. You're a tone indicator, you have only one job, and yet you sit there doing nothing apart angering me.

This one is useful because it tells you that this signature is fully 100% serious. (/srs) Who would've thought that tone indicators needed to tell you something about the piece of text they're attached to? /s

I'm serious, I'm not even going to put multiple (/hj)s a the end of my signature as to mock the previous paragraph for not getting the point of something(like previous version of my signature). /srs

How?

i don't know if i said this before but maybe I'll reiterate

scratch should really only use scratch.org or scratch.mit.edu everything else looks super tacky and unprofessional.

that being said, they should try to acquire similar domains (scrat.ch etc) but not use them as the domain.

if scratch does switch domains, search engines will be confused and everybody would be unhappy. scratch wouldn't come up as #1 or it might have to compete with itself which is wacky.

hi! i still exist, but ocular (scratch forum search) is currently down. sorry!! i am still working on scratch adjacent things though.

Yes! No scratch.com because “com” is commercial

Again, I think by far the best options if we did this would be scratch.org and scratch.edu.

Question: would I be able to create my own website called scratch.codes?

I'm no legal expert so who might be trying to stop me? Would it be scratch itself?

well, you can't T.M. 1 word or letter(ex. Apple tried to copy right “i”), so nothing can really stop you from making that website

im not a laywer either, but you might be fine to do it but scratch has in the past abused their power to get scratch.org so idk

Oh oof. So if I got scratch.codes then the ST might start wanting it from me?

probably not, as .codes isn't as popular as .org, but it might still be nice to be cautious

No support again, for these reasons.

No support. To me it doesn't matter.

You'll either find me on Gamejolt, Scratch, or some other lesser used website.

Oookay, you should really add “redirecting” as a possibility in the OP, or else you're just going to get more no supports :P

Scratchcod.es - Maybe ScratchCo.de, but really not Codes, It just feels out of place, when you can already do .codes.

Good point.. “scratchco.de” sounds a lot better. Maybe that and “scratch.co.de” could be added to the OP

So… I didn't update my signature for over a year XP But… I left the forums, and I'm not coming back anytime soon
(and I'm not updating my signature)

Both stickied Suggestions Directories currently have 138 replies.

co.de is already taken, so there's a no for scratch.co.de
scratchco.de sounds tacky (isn't that the German GLTD?)
not that scratch.codes isn't tacky

It will add redirects from the old domain to the new one.

Yes, it's the german gltd, and as a german myself, honestly, scratchco.de would be… weird…

Scratch.foundation is just weird, and shouldn't that refer to scratchfoundation.org, not scratch itself?

Signatures are the only place where assets links still work.
