Forever if is lacking in 2.0. Why?

I think you can attach an “if” block inside a “forever” block.
Wouldn't it work the same as a “forever if” block?

Yup. It sure does.

Forever if was unneccesary, so they removed it. Take it up with the Scratch Team, not me.

Strongly support adding it back (see http://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/20438/?page=1#post-252213)

The

repeat until <not <>>
 random block//category=grey
end

is a good and easy workaround.

Yes, there are a lot of workarounds. But students (I mean, students that are not specifically interested in learning computer programming) like a lot having very simple ways of doing interesting things. Then they can accept to learn all good alternatives to FOREVER IF

Question?????
Where can I find the (forever if) block ?? feeling lost.

Sorry. WIth my greatest sadness, it is gone (forever, if they don't bring it back…)

It was necessary. so it was removed. You can replace it like this (for example) :

forever
    
if <> then

Please do not necropost (bring up resolved topics that have not been replied to for a long time) unless the post adds new and relevant information.

It doesn't exist; that's what this thread is about.

As has already been explained here, it was removed because it added clutter and is easily replaced with a forever block and an if block inside it. Closing as resolved.
