Where's Misc!?!?
What happened to it? I can't find it.
Did you take it out or something?
If scratch got rid of it, I'm leaving the forums.
Link to a similar topic please.

Re: Where's Misc!?!?
Why would they get rid of misc? What other fun things are there to do on the forums now?

Because they felt it was too far away from MIT's meaning or something

It was too much time hard to moderate and it was headed in a direction that the ST didn't like; it just didn't make sense to keep something that took so much resources to maintain and didn't necessarily agree with the ideals of the MIT Media Lab - the decision was to have it replaced with two different forums (Things I'm Making and Creating, and Things I'm Reading and Playing), which better fits those ideals and makes it easier to moderate.
Understandably, that kind of restricts the topics to be talked about on the forums - but it doesn't means you're barred from talking about them on Scratch. For topics that don't fall into any of the new criteria, it is encouraged to use a Scratch Project instead. 
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

Ok, I don't know when I would need to use it, but I'll find a time to.

What's wrong with doing a simple search? Oh, and bye.

Misc. has been removed. The replacement forums are What I'm Making and Creating and What I'm Reading and Doing.
