Are you mad?!?
Miscellaneous was its own little happy community, and you're destroying that.

For all the people quitting and flaming, you're really just showing that you aren't a true Scratch member if the only reason you were here was to post on Misc.

Wow. Being misrepresentative, a bit?
We're protesting by quitting because we believe the ST is doing something wrong.
So we're not being true Scratch members by doing what we believe is right?
We'll still post projects and such.
Just not use the forums.
Is that a problem?

They're not doing anything wrong. They're doing this to help the community, not hurt it.

Yes, but there are others who think otherwise, you have to respect that.

I mean that it was its OWN community. It was entirely different from the chaos and mediocrity of the main site. I honestly couldn't care less about how "Scratch as a whole" feels.

;_; This is tearing us apart. Please stop fighting!

Therefore, you just proved the point you were trying bash.

What about the topics like school, friends, social life, hobbies, debates, etc. All those topics are very interesting, and couldn't stay if this happened.

Most of these fall into social issues should really be talked over with a person in real life. The Scratch forum (nor any other forum community for that matter) should be no substitute for advice on personal life manners.

@sanddude: Hobbies goes under "Things I'm making and creating"

There are so many things that I'm not embarrassed saying online because nobody here knows me in real life
But offline is a whole different story.

I don't necessarily mean advice. Just discussion. Discussion that makes us learn more about each other, and overall helps the community.

That's the misconception of internet anonymity, that everyone thinks that because no can see who you are over the computer screen, it's supposedly okay to say it.

The fact is that it really isn't; thinking that way is nothing more than replacing real human interaction with a digital one that is not as socially bonding. If we can't talk to people we know about our problems, what does that really tell us as a person, or as a society?

That we don't want people we know to know too much about us?
And I think it's fine because it's not like they can torture me about it till I'm on my deathbed or anything
Unless I'm on Scratch till then

But I'm uncomfortable telling my friends about a lot of things  I'll say on here.

sigh
why cant we all just be happy that were getting something new

this reminds me of when facebook changed
people raged
threatened to quit
then pretty much shut up after playing around with the new layout for a few days
and everyone was happy again
