I've had this account on scratch for about 2 years, yet I'm still not a Scratcher, probably because I haven't been active for the last 2 years : /

Depends how active you were 2 years ago. If it was over 1+ months, logging on every day of the week (except weekends) then this is a common bug. Scratch is ALL MESSED UP right now and there are tons of bugs. This may be one of them. Just contact the ST using the “Contact Us” at the very bottom and tell them your issue.

(Please note: When you send a message to the scratch team, and may need to repeat the same message IN A REPLY!! NOT A NEW MESSAGE! This is because ST is understaffed and doesn’t have many people to respond to their messages.)

Hope this helped

Thank you for the info
I've only recently become active so I'll stay persistent until I become scratcher.
