Scratch

You can still use 1.4 even after the release of 2.0.

1. How is programming simpler? I find 2.0 to be more complicated, with concepts like cloning and block creation (which, of course, are completely optional).
2. They won't be keeping the old site. While a bit unfortunate, we've got to move on. If you really want to stay with Scratch, you can try and acclimatise yourself to the change; if you really want to leave, no-one's stopping you. It's always a bit saddening whenever people leave, but it's your own choice to do so.
3. What browser are you using? And why don't you report that on the 2.0 forums, so they can make it better?

Scimonster- what about the site? Can they keep that?

I know they've been working hard on it, and I thought it was cool, but I love scratch 1.4! 2.0 has great new stuff, but now the pages can't load! I think I might quit if they delete the old site.

Have fun with losing members.

If the pages aren't loading for you, then we certainly want to know about it so we can fix it.  It is a work in progress and there are going to be problems with it - hang in there!  Please go to the Bugs and Glitches forum of the Beta site forums and tell us what browser and operating system you are using.

Unfortunately, we don't have the resources to maintain two sites for very long - so it's really important that we get the new site running as well as we can - we certainly don't want to lose members over some small bug!

Well, I think I'll just move on. I'm going to quit.

Scratch on.

Sorry, the ST isn't going to trash 3+ years of work because 2% of the users don't like it. The most they'll do is offer a 1.4 download.
Don't support.

If you want to quit I don't see anything wrong with that. It's your decision, and most likely not going to affect most of us. If you're just saying that to threaten the Scratch Team to keep 1.4, it won't work.

Exactly

I am super excited about the new blocks and all that, but other then that, I don't like 2.0.

You aren't even on here for a year.

First of all, you sound kind of spoiled when you talk like that. Like you're trying to threaten the Scratch Team through the internet.

Secondly, at Scratch's least popular times, there are 100 Scratchers per Scratcher that becomes inactive. While I'm sure the Scratch Team is disappointed that you hate 2.0 because you aren't accustomed to change, frankly, it doesn't matter to them because you and everyone who doesn't like 2.0 quitting barely affects the size of the community.

Have fun without Scratch.

I know what you're feeling. It seems that you love Scratch 1.4 so much that you don't want it to go, right?

Well, I feel the same. But that's what life is for... Sometimes we have to leave some things behind to keep on moving.

About  2.0, don't worry.One day we'll get used to it. Also, it's not finished yet, so the Scratch Team is still fixing all the bugs... 

Just don't quit because of the new website... Even though I don't know you very well, I do care about you.

+1

1.4 will be available until 3.0. Why leave? Sure, 2.0 isn't very appealing at first, but surely it's better than nothing? Remember when you started with Scratch for the very first time. It was uncomfortable. Why should the transition to 2.0 be different?

With all due respect, I really think we should get used to being in an uncomfortable environment. Rarely do you learn much without hardship.

The transition to Scratch 2.0 is only a fly above a sea of sharks. I'm pretty sure that, if you decided that you would not let the transition to 2.0 hinder you, it wouldn't. It's just a new interface.

3 years of hard work fighting the sharks on the ST's part. And you're afraid of the fly.
