Re: The closing of the text-based games forums (in 1 week)

Oh, one question for the scratch team, have you decided/thought about the fate for inspiration and more?


I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!

I have organized an unofficial election, just to see how many people are in favor of all these ideas. Emphasis on UNOFFICIAL! http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=24356

I've been on Scratch for over 2 years, and I'd like to help out on the Scratch website. I'm on a lot, so it shouldn't be hard for me to moderate.

Anyone want to vouch for me?

I'll vouch.

I already posted this on the other topic, but I guess I'll repost it here:

I'd like to join as a moderator! I feel that I am able to take on the responsibility of being a moderator and will be on Scratch for quite a while. I also feel that, while my judgement may have been wrong in the past, I will be able to be un-biased upon all decisions. I go on the website daily for longer than you might think, checking the forums for new problems to solve. I love these forums a lot and would love to contribute to it. I have been on these forums for 1 year and almost 8 months and would love to give back to Scratch.

While I wouldn't be extremely upset if I didn't become a moderator, I love these forums a lot. I don't use Text-Based Games a lot but I would love to give back to these forums. I like the usual forums a lot better, but I wouldn't mind becoming a part of the moderating committee  smile

I'll vouch for you too.


Now, I would want to volunteer as a mod since I've had some experience being one, and I would be willing to help the scratch community, but 8th grade has really put a lot of work on my hands.




Shouldn't this be in announcements? Not to question andresmh or anything, but still... Is it so that new members won't see it and say, "There was a TBG? Bring it back!" or anything like that?

Perhaps it is in the Text-Based Games forum so all Text-Based Game players will be able to see it - if it were in the Announcements, some TBG players may not see it and will probably go crazy when the TBG forum section closes down.

Re: The closing of the text-based games forums (in 1 week)

I fully support the idea of moving them somewhere else. I'm not a big supporter of the TBG, but it seems like a fair way to make both sides happy.

I volunteer to help moderate. I log on to scratch every chance I get, and I've helped settled arguments in the past. I'm not one of those people who stands out from the crowd, so I don't know how many supporters I have, but I'm not someone who would abuse the powers or not use them at all (lol).


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: The closing of the text-based games forums (in 1 week)

I don't think I'd want to moderate. I'd be too busy. By the way, there's this strange feeling in my tummy that says someone's going to keep posting forum games in Scratch... Oh well, I've only found it was correct about 8/10 of the time.

I didn't see this because I never use this forum, but I commend your decision. I was just wondering why the heck Andresmh was posting on this forum  tongue

Anyhow, I'd like to volunteer for the new forum. It won't hurt me at all if you don't choose me, but I have been on Scratch for about 1 1/2 years and love these forums. I'd be able to be on the forums as much as you need me, as long as it doesn't coincide with school  smile

And you.  big_smile

I am just astounded! But part of me feels sorry for those who wanted it to stay...

My heart is racing, though!

Re: The closing of the text-based games forums (in 1 week)

I say you should create moderators in the new website according to the following:

How often they visit
How nice they are
How willing they are to help the website
How helpful they have been


And if they actually are willing to be a moderator, of course.

Hey, it's just my opinion!
