What are the needs of hosting sites? Because I might be able to make one, with what the needs are.
I think they're looking for a popular one with large moderation staff though
Lol. That's likely not going to be found
My one was going to add in some security though. With reporting functions and the such. It will also be based on a family TOC as well.

Well I think we should use Maj.

maybe they could make their own image hosting site and review everything on it before it can be posted!

that would be a pain
i mean
think of how many of us like to post images
then think of how many would need to be approved
they'd have to have some sort of 24/7 moderation/approval thing going
i doubt that would work

anyways
yeah
imageshack isnt too bad
and probably fits the bill

im not sure about photobucket however
I use both

Edit: Just found out you posted a link.

Does Maj have a good moderation team?

Actually, I've seen it in both Miscellaneous and Advanced Topics, one of the big issues of that debate about the need of a programming etc. forum was that if Advanced Topics should be left to things more related to Scratch (such as modified version of the interface), or if it could be open to advanced things in general.

Well, doesn't "programming" go under "creating"?

I honestly would agree with this. I think Adv. Topics, at least in my mind, is for Scratch mods, advanced Scratch scripting, and programming projects related to Scratch, like Go Everywhere!, ScratchBB, and other projects of the like.

I always seem to get more help with my projects when I post in AT, namely because when I post there, it's all the people making other Advanced projects that help me...

Yup, AT is for Scratch-Related things which may be a bit beyond the scope of your average scratcher. smile

As for the two new forum titles - I'd suggest "Creating" and "Consuming" or something, but that might be a bit too complicated. smile

hmm Where will we post stuff that doesn't fit into any of any topics? I mean, if I said: What is the best scratch project ever? , that wouldn't fit into any subforum. Also, what if we wanted help in life? Where would we post that stuff? And where would all the good old forum posts go?

well
scratch really isnt the place for most of the topics found here
i mean
you cant really deny that the misc section of the forums has degraded into something like a "chat room" because of those types of topics

it's for the better that we shake things up a bit here
and make things more "set in stone" than they have been for the past few months/year

If you'd like help in life, we've posted numerous links where you can get external counselling. While we do hope you the best, it's really not our responsibility to moderate discussions which have absolutely nothing to do with the scope of Scratch. Scratch was designed as a programming site, not a place for people to chat.

"What is the best Scratch project ever" could easily go in Questions About Scratch, too. smile

Well, the reason New Scratchers couldn't post in the old (current) Miscellaneous was because it was highly likely they could troll (they could reach a greater audience there than in any of the other forums). Given that there would be a reduced user base for the new forums, it would be less of a "target" for trolls, so there's really no reason to prevent New Scratchers from participating in some friendly discussion about what they're up to.

veggieman001 · 2012-01-23 21:22:13

I like that this is partially acting as an unbiased filter to show who actually cares about the community.

This is exactly my issue. It will have a smaller userbase, because it is split. It's like cutting a community in half with a wall, and we ARE a community.

Not necessarily. You're more than free to participate in however many forums as you wish; in fact, I feel more than certain that *most* community members will participate in both forums (and preferably more in the upper sections).

So you're complaining that it takes too much effort? Are you too lazy to use more than one forum? tongue

The new setup of the forums will essentially eliminate this individual "contact" - it fits in neither forum.
