Re: I suggest that text based games NOT be deleted!!!!!!

1. That's what the off topic section is for. There's no reason we can't do it here.
2. Why would I want to keep going back and forth in beetween the other site (if it exists) and Scratch? I find it much easier to simply go strait from a Scratch related topic to TBG.
3. Google what? A TBG site could have any random name. Why would I want to bother finding another site anyway.
4. Well if one exists, I haven't ever found it.
5. I know it's not a big reason, but it is a reason.

Re: I suggest that text based games NOT be deleted!!!!!!

Seriously, no one is listening to me.

The Random Forum was made by a scratch member, so it's just like a TBG Forum!

Re: I suggest that text based games NOT be deleted!!!!!!

The Random forum isn't the same as Scratch. It has like 5 members and 1 or 2 games in every category. Really, why can't you just leave us alone?

Twenty-three people want the Text-Based Games to go. But my topic got closed, so I can't really get any more supporters.  sad

Remember... don't insult each other. Even if you have different views... and if you want to insult how stupid the idea of deleting the Text-Based Games is, insult me. I started all this, so why insult my supporters? If anything, don't insult them. They're just agreeing with me!

Re: I suggest that text based games NOT be deleted!!!!!!

I don't think it should be deleted.  wink
The only problem I have is that some scratch members just come on this website to play test-based games, not to make or share their scratch projects. It's just my opinion that the programming part of scratch should be more popular.  hmm

I'd look again. The scratch community might look LARGE, But it is quite small. You might say "Well theres 300,000 plus users!", Reality check (ooh i like saying that XD) only like 20% of that are acually come-on-once-or-more-every-week people. The diterioratn of community that will (probably) quit will leave (maybe) only 15%. Thus that chaoticness, Scratch will go through utter termoil and poverty, Its old members will have moved on and Scratch would rot with the number of user withering away by the days. Though, Seeing websites go down in poverty is fun, I wouldn't want to see Sc- nevermind, It would still be funny :3

I don't care. Seriously, why can't you just leave us alone? Just because the site is Scratch doesn't mean there can't be TBG. It doesn't cause any harm! As long as Scratch exists, there's no reason we can't use it to play TBG. If we delete it, on the other hand, harm will come to Scratch.

1. I only created that topic for a very good reason: People didn't read why I wanted the Text-Based Games deleted, so they just assumed everything... they said that I wanted it gone because people were being rude to each other! I have never stated that. The problem was that everyone seemed to believe it, so I made the topic.

2. Read number 1 and tell me what you think.

3. I don't... it's just that you seem to think that you do. Which annoys me.

4. Yeah! I hate waiting for the Scratch Team to decide what they will do! Especially when this topic exists.

Can't we just wait for the Scratch Team to decide?

Re: I suggest that text based games NOT be deleted!!!!!!

1. But it should stay comepletely. There's really nothing wrong with it.
2. I use Windows Internet Explorer. Is that exactly what you use? It's happened to more than one person.
3. So then why can't we just stay on Scratch? It would be easier for all of us.
4. Once again, why can't we do it on Scratch? It doesn't cause any harm, and why would I want to bother getting another account on another random website that I know nothing about and I don't know any of the users on there?
5. Whatever.

Points 1 to 5: How about we stop arguing about it? We're not getting anywhere.
And for point 2, I have IE8 (Internet Explorer 8). Hmm.

Really? I'm so sorry! I googled Text-Based-Games, and it was the fifth result or so on the list. My AVG virus scanner said it was safe, so I took a look... at the top, there was some stuff about Adventure RPG's. I didn't look closer though, because I don't like going into odd websites.

Sorry for the trouble!

Re: I suggest that text based games NOT be deleted!!!!!!

martianshark, you say that there's no reason why you can't do your games in here. I'll try and explain as clearly as possible:

The Scratch Forums are for Scratch purposes (ie. suggestions, reporting bugs, announcements).
The Text-Based Games is not one of the Scratch purposes (quite obviously once you think about it).
Therefore, the Text-Based Games shouldn't exist in the Scratch Forums.

Is that clear? If you still don't get it, tell me.  smile

So why whine about it being closed?

I don't whine! It's just annoying that you have your topic when mine is closed... but I don't care much. We only need one topic to discuss things in, after all.
