I feel like we're entering a type of great scratch depression. I mean, no [url]tags, the troll attacks, and now all this stuff about -iNet-. Scratch feels like it's hitting a VERY low point in its history.

I believe you mean "no [img] tags", [url]tags are pretty much still intact.

Not to mention I could think of a time where it was lower; admittedly, though, this was a pretty lousy way to end the year. 

But I happen to think that sometimes dwelling on the bad stuff too much isn't really the best way to approach a downpoint like this, the better way to approach is to find ways to tackle on or solve the problem to move forward.

Yes, I was about to post something like that. In fact, I actually have a quote from cheddargirl, from when I interviewed her.

"Well, I guess I could conclude this interview with a fave saying of mine, 'The power of remarkable change is in our hands.' The Scratch community, like any other online community, has its ups and downs. Each and every one of us has the ability to move Scratch in either a positive or a negative direction. So let's use our power to change to move Scratch in a positive direction!" - cheddargirl

Huh, my own words come back to haunt me during this time.

Weird how I was thinking the exact thing in my previous post.

I'm not trying to be evolutionist or whatever
but uh
you need to be able to adapt to your environment and respond well to whatever happens 

Luckily, 2012 will give us a fresh new start.

Let's start 2012 out well, with no spammers Or trolls. Get back to what Scratch is really about, being creative.

Like that's gonna happen without images. Images=the biggest source of creativity on the forums.

I disagree, most of the images I see seems to fall on the side of meme spam.

Stop making it worse.

I feel that it was the troll attacks and the image tags being rendered useless after which caused people to think twice before opening up the forums. There's been no fun without images then people saying they're dying and all of this after Christmas, it's kind of depressing really.
