Why has there been 0 communication from the ST if AFD is on this year
I dont even really mind the answer but this 0 communication is extremely concerning. A last minute announcement announcing bad news so less backlash happens? We know thats not the way to handle difficult changes as seen with the studio update?

Why has there been 0 communication from the ST if AFD is on this year
as far as i know, there was no communication from the scratch team last year about april fools' day either. (count that as a bonus hint, people who are trying to guess my main account)
also, the only way that it would be a “difficult change” would be if they completely banned it, so they wouldn't need a way to handle difficult change if it isn't difficult change. (does this make sense?)

I hopefully quit the forums.

As your signature indicates, April Fools' day is a privilege. The lack of them specifically allowing it should be interpreted as them not allowing it at all. After the past few years it is clear that they aren't super happy about the idea of April Fools' Day since it has gotten out of hand and massively increased the workload of an already thinly stretched moderation team. As for why they haven't said anything, I can't say for sure, but it might be the reason you indicate (as backlash also adds to the moderation work). Or they might not have made a decision yet.

Perhaps they just don't have an answer yet.
This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

No it doesn't. No answer means it's not allowed. April Fools' Day is something that they have tolerated in the past, but it's still a violation of the rules if they don't explicitly allow it, even if they can't or don't enforce it. No answer means that we do it pre-April-Fools-subforum style.

They probably either haven't decided or aren't doing it. Paddle might respond if you ask him, though.

Well considering how they've allowed it in the past… I don't think people are gonna realize..No it doesn't. No answer means it's not allowed. April Fools' Day is something that they have tolerated in the past, but it's still a violation of the rules if they don't explicitly allow it, even if they can't or don't enforce it.

They're cooking something up (which is likely far too optimistic to be a possibility)
Or

also adds to the moderation work). Or they might not have made a decision yet.Yes, it is a privilege and I don’t even mind what the answer is, but they have to communicate to the community over these things. We should have got an answer by now when there is 2 days left to March 31st which when it’s begun since 2020. Interpreting no answer as not allowed isn’t the way - we need an answer as other users won’t know this and will create AFD posts anyway. As your signature indicates, April Fools' day is a privilege.

It doesn't have to be on the bad side too. They could have a golden one for us and want it to be a surprise.

It’s 3 days away and they could say that as I’ve reported this topic numerous times asking for an answer. Anything will do! Perhaps they just don't have an answer yet.

it's unlikely that there is going to be a big april fools effort this year. the scratch foundation went through/is in the process of dealing with big changes that have left them with limited resources, that are unfortunately better spent outside of fun stuff like AFD.
I discovered Scratch in 2015 and created games and animations. From 2020 to 2023, I worked on Scratch browser extensions, found security vulnerabilities, and maintained a forum search engine called ocular. In the summer of 2024, I was an engineering intern with the Scratch Team. Now, I'm ready to finish my last year of high school. Scratch on!

Of course, I don’t mind if the answer is no (you can read my thoughts on AFD on this essay I made it's unlikely that there is going to be a big april fools effort this year. the scratch foundation went through/is in the process of dealing with big changes that have left them with limited resources, that are unfortunately better spent outside of fun stuff like AFD.here but some communication is needed, even if the answer is “we haven’t decided”

I wish… It doesn't have to be on the bad side too. They could have a golden one for us and want it to be a surprise.
In my opinion, the reason there wasn't anything new next year was funding (though this is just a theory, I have nothing to back it up).
This is a public signature, so anyone can change it. I do not necessarily believe or support what it says.

“there wasn’t anything new next year”. What?I wish… It doesn't have to be on the bad side too. They could have a golden one for us and want it to be a surprise.

Anyway, if you don’t have any evidence to back it up, then why post?
