Scratch

I liked it better back in Late '07- Early '08, when it was more of a website for creating and sharing games and animations, rather than the social networking site that it has turned into.

I agree so :

8.5/10

because of what everyone said.

I agree.... Scratch was a lot more concentrated on the programming in '07. But I'm afraid I don't upload as many projects either, unless you count the simple "filler" stuff.    I mostly hang around the forums now.

I wasn't a member on Scratch in 2007, but I kind of agree with you, in the early 2008 it was more focused on the programming.
But I also think that Scratch is what you make it to, if you really like programming you program.
Before I saw that you posted a lot in the WOTF topic, and now you are saying that it has turned into a social network, so you are also one of the responsible persons; So am I; everyone is.
As I stated above, Scratch is what you make it to.
If you love programming and don't like the social networking, just program and have fun!
Don't complain about how it has become a social network.

10/10
Maybe
some see
just see the programming of basic blocks on BYOB's definition editor
Also scratch is just slow due to that.
Also it isnt editable and compilable.


BUt its usablility beats all the odds

I think that Scratch still is 10/10
And the website is what the members make it too, so don't complain!

6.5 or 7/10
Honestly I'm starting to get bored on here, with the whole front page debacle and how some parts of the forums are practically a chatroom nowadays.

I wish I came to scratch earlier! Either way scratch evolves to the people who are part of it. Nothing can be really changed. After you really think about it, I think that we should be thankful for scratch. I know I am.

It was a joke, I think he was trying to sound like news reporters 

yeah so was i. and gravity and stuff was just "discovered," for lack of a better word. .... those were the days lol.

2007: Not here, so i don't know
early 08: 8/10 its hard to learn, only larnt broadcast... bout a year after i started! XP
LATE 08: 7/10
2009: 6/10

7/10 because of the program's limitations, but what can you expect - it's drag'n'drop. XD Also, as people mentioned a zillion times, because of the community and because nothing really good gets to front page.
