Scratch

Yep. 

I'm serious. The reasons?
1. People often spend their lives posting in here. Don't!
2. The Scratch Forums are for helping others (All About Scratch and New Scratch Members), suggesting things (Suggestions), reporting bugs (Troubleshooting), and more. What's the use in the Text-Based Games? People don't post for good reasons, they post for their fun. Grrr!
3. There's no need for it if you want to RPG and things. Projects or galleries may be better for this. You actually can see something, whether one project or plenty.
4.

Actually....there are some days when I agree with you.  This website is for supporting Scratch...the fact of the matter is, the Text-Based Games take a fair amount of monitoring which is time and effort spent away from actually helping people do Scratch.

Thank you.

There's only one reason why the Text-Based Games (and Inspiration and More) should be kept. The same reason they were created: to stop games and things appearing on All About Scratch and more. But this problem is easily remedied: forum moderators can simply delete or close the games and RPGs. People will learn not to start them.

People that actually agree (or think the Text-Based Games are a waste of people's lives) follow. Take a look! It's great:
archmage (thinks that plenty of posts come from here, which is a waste)
cheddargirl (thinks that it's a handy way to get signatures and posts. Also thinks it's useless, no point, and nothing to do with Scratch (Good on you!)
Chrischb (agrees with everyone)
coolstuff (thinks 100% that the Text-Based Games should be removed)
demosthenes (thinks that the Text-Based must go)
fireball123 (agrees)
illusionist (agrees with archmage and thinks that playing the Text-Based Games is becoming a big no-no)
Jonathanpb (Read above)
Maki-Tak (thinks that everyone gets tons of posts when all they do is RPG. And also thinks that the forums are becoming a social network instead of for helping Scratchers)
MyRedNeptune (thinks the forums were better before the Text-Based Games and the Inspiration and More. Five gummy bears for you!)
Paddle2See (thinks that it takes up useless time moderating and is not helping people about Scratch)
pinochio (thinks that it takes up space and time and has innapropiate stuff often)
ScratchScripter (thinks that the Scratch Forums should be for helping programmers and not for games)
TheSaint (thinks it's useless)


What do you think? If enough people support this (which would be really unexpected), I'll list your names with mine and suggest this. The rest of you should stock up on tissues. If not... then I'll leave it at that.
