Re: Anyway to find out how many people have added you as a friend?

I think this should go under About Scratch.


If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time  smile

Not without a script scanning through the friends lists of every user on Scratch, which, while technically possible, would take quite a while.

My goodness, well scratch that

The mods archive all the users, so maybe they could offer a solution?

You could just look through your notifications.

Re: Anyway to find out how many people have added you as a friend?

195 people have added me as a friend. How do I know? Friend adding messages are the only ones I keep.


Unless the Scratch Team has a secret webpage which tells you all a users friends then my way is the only way.

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

What I do is: I keep a document of people that have friended me and I don't want to friend them back.

It will come up in your messages.  Example:  randomuser has added you to his/her's friends list.

Okay, I got that, you know? I'm not a noob.

I'm just now curious and wondering if there is a way to find the ones deleted

But you are supposed to delete them all after you read them.

Yes, actually. It slows down the server and takes up space.

Re: Anyway to find out how many people have added you as a friend?

Go to google.com and type this in the search bar:

Code:

 "your username" site:http://scratch.mit.edu/users/showfriends

Make sure your username is surrounded by quotes.  The number of results (it says underneath the search bar) subtract one is the amount of people that have friended you.  You might have to click "repeat the search with the omitted results included.".

Hmm, that doesn't seem to work for me, I got absolutely no results, omitted or not.  Adding an "s" at the end of "showfriend" gave me one result; my own friend page.

Try a "/" after the "S." I got 79 results!

Sorry, but if you deleted it, you can't get it back.  So, not that I know of.

Re: Anyway to find out how many people have added you as a friend?

I'm not sure how accurate that Google search is.

It said "About 8" for my BoltTest account.  But, I kept all the notifications on that account and there are 22.

Now, for my main account it said "About 238".  I wonder how many there really are.

Re: Anyway to find out how many people have added you as a friend?

Well, it's a great method!
I know I have at least 101 friends, and maybe more as BoltBait pointed out.
