Scratch

Hey guys,

Being a frequent visitor to S c r a t c h, I realised that today being April Fools' Day, the S c r a t c h  T e a m has made some interesting adjustments to the forum side of S c r a t c h. Here is what I found:

The 'S c r a t c h e r' and 'N e w  S c r a t c h e r' status have been changed to 'Pony' and 'New Pony' respectively. Even 'o n e' has been changed to 'Pony'. I am logging in from UK and it must be very early in the morning for USA so as I speak, I see several changes coming from the MIT Media Lab. The word 'S c r a t c h' has been changed to 'Neigh', and the latest I've seen is that the status of members of the 'S c r a t c h  T e a m' has been changed to 'Neigh Herd Leader' These are some very interesting, of course temporary, changes to pull a laugh out of us!

I'm sure there are many more changes due for the next few hours, especially on the main website. I created this thread so you all can also share what you saw on this day. I'm not sure whether this topic entirely fits here, but for me, this seemed the only place suitable for this topic.

NOTE: I have spaced out all the words changed on this day so that they do not get affected by the 'syndrome' for those of you viewing it on April Fools'!

Cheers and Happy April Fools'!

Update:

I also noticed some other changes. A TBGer is now 'Citizen of Panem' on the TBG Forums (Now TBHG Forums, 'Text Based Hunger Games Forums'). A TBG Moderator is now called 'Capitol Gamemaker'.

Interestingly, this announcement was put up:

Announcement: This is not a parking garage. This is mahogany. Mahogany hamsters have been found in the Scratch Server Room. We’re currently attempting to reverse the damage caused by them, but they’re not too malicious. In the meantime, please try to enjoy the TBHG Forums despite the recent change. Game on!
-The Gamemakers

Enjoy!

EDIT: Within 30 minutes, this information was put on the Wiki. This thread helped create an article! W00t!

Here the article is with all the information you need to know:

Starting on March 31st Scratch Time:

    The Text-based Games Forum is renamed the "Text-Based Hunger Games Forum", with the TBGs forum being called "The District Square" and the RPGs forum being called "The Hob". TBGers were given the rank of "Citizen of Panem", New TBGers the rank of "Tribute, TBG Moderators the rank of "Capitol Gamemaker", and Scratch Team members the rank of "Capitol Cabinet". In addition, "TBG" was censored to "TBHG", instances of "Scratch Team" were changed to "Capitol Cabinet", and the following announcement was made at the top of the TBGs:

    Announcement: This is not a parking garage. This is mahogany. Mahogany hamsters have been found in the Scratch Server Room. We’re currently attempting to reverse the damage caused by them, but they’re not too malicious. In the meantime, please try to enjoy the TBHG Forums despite the recent change. Game on! -The Gamemakers

    All of this is in reference to the popular book and movie series The Hunger Games.

    The mysterious KajTheModerator made another appearance on the Scratch Forums, with the brand new signature "trolololololol !!!".
    The Scratch Forums were also renamed to the "Neigh Forums", with all instances of "Scratch" replaced with "Neigh". Members of the Scratch Team were ranked "Neigh Herd Leader", while Scratchers were given the rank "Pony", and New Scratchers "New Pony". Community Moderators were changed to hold the rank "Pasture Monitor", and Retired Community Moderators "Retired Pasture Monitor".
    In addition, the words "everyone" and "everybody" were censored to "everypony".
