Done!  big_smile

I added a chapter on the new Scratch Wiki as well.  big_smile

If the information in the troll attack chapter is off, please say so.  smile

Re: ITopic: An un-brief history of Scratch

Just spotted a minor mistake - there are two "4"s on the introduction. Mleh - it's nothing major, but I'm fussy sometimes.  tongue

Re: ITopic: An un-brief history of Scratch

Wow. A history of Scratch. (this is 7 pages long and I still haven't read it.) I started using Scratch in 2007, I had Scratch 1.0.1 and didn't upgrade until Scratch 1.4 came out. I also didn't get an account on the website until 2009 when I wanted to upload my first project.

No... my topic is linked to in one of the ITopics - it's sort of like an ITopicsITopics.  tongue

Re: ITopic: An un-brief history of Scratch

What are ITopics? Are they pronounced the same as iPods, or 'it' Topics?

Nice! That was a little fun too see (Scratch 1.2 BETA) because I am used to the Scratch 1.4 interface.

It is a bit odd knowing that all new users have never seen anything older than 1.4...  tongue

Okay, I get that part. But as ITopic, is it pronounced eye-topic?
Also, go back a page. I said something a few days ago, but it was ifnored. It could be of use to this. And whatever happened to the Scratch Almanac?

Re: ITopic: An un-brief history of Scratch

So wait, what does adding ITopic to the title do? Is it just so the Moderator or Administrator that runs around banning 2 week old topics knows what to close and what not to close? I thought that it was actually a program that did that. It most likely is a program. So does that mean the program skips topics with the words ITopic in them? If so, then if someone made a topic with ITopic in the title, they could cheat the system, correct?

I thought only the threads in misc were closed after two weeks of no activity, but all the rest stay open?

I discovered it about 3 years ago, too - and I made an account then, but I forget what it was  tongue

And then I came back a few months later and made this account.
