Scratch Site Should Stay the Same! (And Suggestions)

Say that title 3 times fast!

I saw in the 2.0 update scratch would look WAY different. The site and application.

I absolutely LOVED this website how it is. I mean, I'd like them to add some new things, but now change the entire layout! Not to mention colors too! One thing I really dislike is the "Subscribing" and "Related Projects" feature. This makes it to much like youtube, and sucks some of the unique-ness out of the site.

I saw how different the scratch application seemed, and I also, surprise, wasn't very happy. I REALLY want them to add new blocks, but as I said before, not change the layout. I love the app as it is now. With the new layout, things may become unfamiliar, and I would lose some of my skill... temporarily.

Don't hate me foe thinking that.

Aside from the things I disliked, here are my ideas for it:

Drawing Tutorials (For walk cycles and those other hard things)
A stop sound [   ] block

Wow. I didn't even think of that many.

Thanks for looking at my opinion.

I agree, but change is necessary.

But I dislike the "subscribing" thing, it seems like it will turn into a measure of fame. People would get jealous, i.e. "I wish I had as many subscribers as him". I wish it was just "friends" still.

I dont support the site turning into a more competitive youtube-style site. Competition shouldn't be our focus.

Yea, subscribing is just silly and unoriginal, we really don't need another youtube clone.

Maybe a few graphic improvements, but the layout should stay the same. And, why don't we just say goodbye to the whole subscriber thing, and just name it "Alert me when this user uploads a new project"?
