Here, you can explain why you joined Scratch, how you discovered it, how you want to use Scratch, and many other things about yourself. Feel free to introduce yourself, but please don’t spam or go off-topic here; those posts will be removed by a Scratch Team member to keep the conversation organized.

Even more experienced Scratchers can post here! Feel free to welcome others to Scratch! Be polite and helpful, and remember to follow the Community Guidelines. Posts that are disrespectful and/or divisive may be removed by a Scratch Team member.

RULES

• Whatever you do on Scratch, make sure you abide by the Community Guidelines.
  
• Please make sure you’re not replying to an old post; the user will probably not see it anyway, and, since it was a long time ago, they likely either already know the answer, or they aren’t interested in finding the answer anymore.
  
• Remember to stay on-topic, and not to post random messages.
  
• Keep in mind not to post random Scratch Blocks here with the [scratchblocks] option on the forums. They’re unnecessary here, and they can sometimes lag up the servers. If you need to test Scratch Blocks, you can do it here.
  
• Remember that advertisements are not allowed here. If you want to advertise, you may want to do it on Show and Tell, or you could make a forum signature.
  
• If you’re welcoming a New Scratcher, please be courteous and realize that they’re learning how the site works. Additionally, make sure you’re not going off-topic.
  
• Please don’t respond to spam. Just silently report it and move on so that a friendly Scratch Team member can help the user learn what they did wrong privately instead.
  
• If you don’t know the answer to a question, then it’s best not to say anything, because it will take up server space, and it may confuse the user who asked.
  
• Remember that New Scratchers can ask questions here if they wish to do so.
  
• Try to avoid posts such as “hi.” Be sincere with your posts. If you’re a New Scratcher, talk about yourself! If you’re a more experienced Scratcher, welcome the user and try to help them!

If I’m missing information, made any errors, or if you think the topic would be better in some other way, then don’t hesitate to let me know in a constructive manner. I would prefer these sorts of comments to be made on my profile, as they will be much more visible for me, but it’s fine to post them here on this thread.

Thank you, and Scratch On!

Haha, very funny, Qloak.

Even if im not new, here we go (you can use this for an example of how you can introduce yourself if your a old scratcher)

intro:
Hello! I am Sil3nci0, but you can call me silenc or silencio678.

I joined in late of February and has been making projects from random generators ( https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/635334393/ is a example) to GIGANTIC collaborations ( https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/677095313/ is also an example)

When i joined:
When i first joined, i was interested in making games, then i made “A Boring Game Where A Ball Follows You”. It was my 1st game, but i decided to work on more games. I then realized the power of randomization and made random generators. Then i tested myself and made a zombie shooter game (which was deleted due to bugs) and thanks to @warframe, i made one.

Why i joined:
The reason why i joined is because that it looked interesting and fun. It also came in one of my favorite categories: ”creation games”

How im doing right now
Im doing fine. I met some friends like @GAMS2, @AIgamesdeveloper (did i spell that right-), @Qloakonscratch (not sure if we are friends yet) and more!

So yeah. Seeya!

I can confirm I gave permission here https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/6230325/
