Scratch

You're a really nice person, samurai768.

I'll enjoy the moments before it gets deleted (if it will), but I don't care a thing about the games and RPGs. Honestly.

Are you suggesting people can't go any place else to play text based games, they have to do it in scratch, otherwise it's not fun?

The forums are not meant for fun.

...there are about 400-2000 people online right now that hate his idea, and only 16 on his side.)

Have you noticed that everyone on this thread wants this forum deleted?

I am tired of people saying to me "You hate fun! What's wrong with playing games?".

Just try and find Jonathanpb's topic about what and what not to do in the text based forums.

This is just ridiculous. Nowhere in my topic have I said anything like "The Text-Based Games should be removed because people are mean to each other"! The only spot you could see that would be in the section of the topic post where I quoted all of the agreeing posts. So that's something, samurai768. Don't think you know everything. When you posted this topic, you thought you knew everything. Now you know that you were ignorant.

The seven reasons about why the Text-Based Games should be deleted (and why we don't care if you don't have your fun):
1. The Scratch Forums are for helping people, suggesting things, reporting bugs, and things like that. Not for playing games. All of you ignorant people don't seem to grasp this.
2. Some people only have an account so they can play games in the forums. This is horrible. If you don't think so, chances are that you're one of those poor people.
3. Forum moderators have to moderate the Text-Based Games. If the forum weren't there, they would have more time to moderate other forums. This will help keep the forums free of spam and bad stuff. You non-moderator people probably don't care about the waste of time. The moderators do.
4. People might view other parts of the forums instead of the Text-Based Games. They might actually view interesting things, and hopefully contribute to the Scratch Community (instead of wasting your lives).
5. If they want to RPG or play games, they could use a project or a gallery. And they'll be able to actually see something (whether one project or several).
6. Most of the posts are in the Text-Based Games and not in useful spots where we like them.
7. The Text-Based Games are an easy way to get 50 posts for a signature. You Text-Based Games addicts probably will be able to get 50 posts in a day.

No! I just don't like the Text-Based Games being in the forums; they don't have anything to do with Scratch.

No one ever reads the seven reasons why I think it should go... if they did, then we wouldn't have as many arguments. If people don't read them, they just assume that I'm a spoilsport.

It's a tough life suggesting your opinion.

*slaps head* I was talking to Samurai

No more anything thats fun to do in the forums.

I was commenting on that, I'm trying to say, people can go to other places to play text based games

I personally think I want them, they give me something fun to do every once in a while. But I haven't read ALL the reasons but deleting them might make things worse or better. Who knows, maybe we could shut them down for a week or month and see how well it does, if everything goes chaotic we'll bring them back.

Please, I dont want this to turn into a flame war. Jonathanpb, im sorry for what i said, and I just dont agree with closing this forum. I just put this topic up so that the people that want this forum to stay can freely express their opinion without making you mad by posting it in your topic. If you want, I can just delete this topic by clicking delete in my first post. Or I can just change the first post to Discuss about Text based games being closed.Your choice.
