No, Kaj didn't hack, she just made claims to destroy Scratch.

I already know, hence the quotation marks and the bit in brackets 

I think Mokat's trying to say that she didn't even guess passwords

Oh okay. Grr I wish I was older on here, then I wouldn't appear so noobish when it comes to discussing past events

Tip: Read the Scratch Wiki

I do, I just never remember anything from it XD

RedRocker, i'm the same. brand new, but your better at stuff than me, lol

I BELIEVE I HAVE . . . THE ANSWER =O
Okay, first I want to clear something up. Kaj was a user who wanted popularity so they said that they would "take over Scratch". Eventually, people were frightened and rumors grew. Today's story you are likely to hear from newer members is that they "hacked". They didn't, the claims of ruling and taking down Scratch were all they did. Today it has become a ghost story, with impersonators and the like of Kaj intending to scare our community.

Also, if Kaj did in fact post here, it is likely they were deleted because newer or more gullible members could be surprised and act illogically at the sight of one of his posts, no matter how old or not provocative. I remember when Kaj still had an account, but was long gone, there were several people constantly bashing him, even when the only project of his available was "Animal Farm is awesome", with nothing at all noteworthy for hatred.

Tl:dr, Kaj is a ghost story who caused no major harm, but caused panic. They probably deleted his posts so gullible users are not scared by them. (If he even ever did post)

Search for Kaj and read some of the old Miscellaneous threads regarding them.
They're usually quite...interesting.

I tried it, and they are interesting to read. While searching, I found a few threads about the troll attack-- the one that caused us to get the New Scratcher rank. It's pretty interesting to see old threads.

Do you have a link? I've been trying to find a thread on that for FOREVER!!! 

Or maybe the scratch team just didn't want anybody getting ideas

Not sure what exactly you're looking for, but here's a fairly realistic picture with Kaj online:

I don't believe that picture is right because all of the names look uneven and stuff.
WAIT: youtube_com just became a new scratcher. Kaj was a while back, how could a user who joined in 2012, meet a user who was back in 2010(or whatever year kaj was on scratch).

Oh, it's not real, it's just a picture I made as a few days back people were wanting pictures of him on the site.

Kaj certainly got what she wanted: attention...

U know... Kaj wrote that stuff about "blowing up Scratch" just to get attention... it has REALLY worked well. While Kaj was a very, very little-known scratcher at the time, he now is the most popular rumor on Scratch and one of the most famous Scratchers: he's a perfect ghost story, he made serious threats that lotsa people heard about, but his account was banned very quickly so no one can verify his existence or threats.
I finished this post so imma gonna post it, but I just realized that there really is no proof Kaj exists. (this should be a separate post  ) is it possible he's just a story someone made up to scare other people instead of having really been a Scratcher?
BTW, this is my 1st post EVAH!!! probably why it's so long
