No support for scratch.org, it already directs you to the current domain.

Considering Scratch owns the domain, they can easily set it up to host the pages instead of just being a redirect.

They could update it to not redirect and instead be the main site.

No support. Why?
1. Too long
2. Scratch is connected to M.I.T.
3. It would make sense to make the last domain .edu because Scratch is an educational platform

Scratchx.org, Scratchfoundation.org, Scratch.org. Are you see that? Scratch is an organization

/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.

/srs

^^^ (there's more below)
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

It was generally decided in the replies that the domain would be scratch.org or scratch.edu or something like that.
Actually, as said here:

Scratch isn't really part of MIT anymore.
Not all educational sites end with .edu

Scratchx.org is for experimenting extensions, Scratchfoundation.org is for donating not for educational purposes and scratch.org is just a redirect to the scratch.mit.edu site. My points still stands.

I don't think they will use scratch.com since they are an organization.

Scratchfoundation.org is actually not just a donation website, it's the official website for the scratchfoundation team.

I don't see how that reenforces your point. Scratch is an organization.

With one or two visits, this would become a non-issue.

Plus, they could just redirect scratch.mit.edu to scratch.org, so this wouldn't even be a problem at all.

By what point? I can make everything an organization. Oh that's a studio, it's an organization. Oh that's a collab, it's an organization

.org was originally intended for non-profit organizations and is still dominated by them today. Scratch is a non-profit organization. Plus, .edu doesn't even make any sense, because Scratch is not a school (unlike MIT, which is).

Maybe scratch.edu.org?

The reason that it's .edu is that it's a subset of MIT.edu.
