Is the Scratch Team still approving websites? Because I still want [link removed by moderator] approved.

I have a forum, but it is strictly "mordorated" (my LOTR pun of moderated.. heheh!). Nobody posts on the forums anyways.

Regarding your request - the forums appear to have been established on
Dec 21, 2011 - so the earliest they can be approved is Mar 21st, 2012 (the 3 month rule).  The forums are the major concern so the fact that the rest of the site is older doesn't make any difference.  Please be sure you have read the security guidelines mentioned in the first post as well.  Just drop us another reminder in 12 days and you'll be in business 

Ok! I'll do that. Thanks!

I have a question. If a website isn't approved by the Scratch Team, can we still show the link in project comments?

You're not supposed to, but plenty of people do.

My forum finally should be approved.
Remember, the link I will report is moved from PunBB-Hosting to Sharkserve to Invision Free.
EDIT:I'm completely sure it will be approved once Paddle notices, so I will post it even though it isn't approved yet.

You forum looks much too new. Please be aware that forums need to be up for at least three months before they can be approved. A list of requirements for forum approval can be found on the first post of this thread.

*ahem*Ask Paddle. If he(yes, I remembered he's a he) remembers, he'll say it will be approved......March 10 Eastern Standard Time.
Like I said in my post, IT WAS MOVED MULTIPLE TIMES.

Wait a second... Why did you move it again?

I found your forum by predicting it's url a while ago, and it's still up.

I can't connect to either of the 2 original ones.
Oh and can a mod remind me of my forums URL? >.<
Oh I found it in my history, edit.
Oh, and RedRocker, if you're here, look at your topic on my forums or look at this pic.

An interesting site...it seems to be more of a directory to other sites? 

It looks like all the sites you list are approved for advertising on Scratch - so that's fine.

I am concerned that you are asking for people's email addresses though - is that something you really need?

I don`t have them but you can post it then it will be approved by you

Oh okay.

And with that note, I got an email that the site my forums are hosted on is down.
I will report the new url.

Thanks...I took a look at the site but the forums appear unused and the Admin account is only a month old (2012-3-11) so it's too new to advertise.  Please read the first post of this topic and reapply when your site meets the requirements.

Paddle, remember my Punbb-hosting one? This is the same one, but moved multiple times.
>.>
Punbb-hosting(inactivity) --> Sharkserve(can't connect) --> Invision Free(IF was moved) --> Forumotion(Paddle is getting mad) --> I dunno any other places to make a forum.

Also, Paddle could you please approve my site? I will report the link just so you know later.

It was started sometime around the end of December/early January (not sure exactly when), but I think it should be at least three months old.

Here are some good qualities about my forum:

Security
*Before people register, they have to agree to follow the Scratch Community Guidelines (I even put a link to them in an announcement!)
*The forums are moderated by me and two other people, and I have rules that are strictly enforced (any violation of the rules will result in a ban warning, a temporary ban, and then a permanent ban.)
*We have a CAPTCHA that users have to enter during registration to prevent spam. Also, a random password is sent to the user's email address that they can change later. This prevents people entering fake emails and also prevents spam because the bots (usually) don't check their email.
*We ask users to verify if they are Scratchers, and we don't allow users to remain anonymous. If users impersonate and aren't who they say they are, they get banned.
*We can handle flames and trolling, and trolls and other disrespectful people immediately get perma-banned. I don't tolerate that kind of stuff...
*When users are log in, they are not exposed to any ads. This way users don't go to other sites on accident.

Censoring
*My forums have a censor system, and cussing isn't tolerated. People who try to get around the censor are usually banned or warned.
*Our censor also converts YouTube links to YouTube Repeat.

Discussion
*We make sure every topic has a discussion point, and if a topic is controversial or causes flames, we close it and warn the user.
*We have forums that allow Scratch-related discussions AND we have a Miscellaneous forum.
*We have a forum where only mods and admins can discuss. Regular members cannot see it either.

Looks very impressive!  Judging from the date that the administrator registered (2011-01-07), you will be eligible for approval on April 7th.  Please send me another report then
