You can report the post and a mod can change it for you... if we're nice. >:D JK :P
It's a service offered free of charge, for only one quarter of a ban. xD (4 reports = 1 ban.)

Now, back on topic.

It does look interesting.  Can you actually play the games on iOS though, or do you need that stupid apple being too rich to allow people to code iOS games for free so they have to charge like $200 a year developer thing?

Well if you have a jailbroken iDevice (like me) you can do it without the development fee (just place xtra buttons and also don't forget you can't publish it to the app store without paying that)

BTW I tried it (the crash course) and I LOVE IT!!!

Jailbreak. I wish I could use that, but my parents would kill me if I did something to void the warranty like that.

Well, you can jailbreak, and if anything goes wrong, just restore your device and your warranty comes back. That is what I have done for my devices. 

I doubt that they would pay 99$ for you to publish something...

No.  You must have a working Mac (well over five hundred dollars). And a developer's license from apple (one hundred dollars) and have the pro version of stencyl (another good hundred dollars.)

Stencyl is hard to be creative with, and forces you to have their logo on splash screens and such.

I prefer Scratch!

On the other hand-
Stencyl- Publish to iOS, flash, desktop, chrome store, and soon HTML5 & Android.

Scratch-Scratch.mit.edu.

To creativity-I disagree, you have to get used to it. How hard creativity can be depends on what you make.

To forcing to use splash screen-Hmm, what's better branding-wise, having a 2 second splash screen before the game (or having a little box on the bottom right that looks nice and pretty for the time it loads) or only being able to publish to one website?

You have to pay a crazy fee to publish to iOS as far as I know.

Scratch is open source and you can compile it into jar, app, exe etc.

Creativity? Can you make an OS simulation in Stencyl? Not likely. Can you make a calculator? Not very easy.

Stencyl is commercial. Commie.

OS simulation-Yep, although I never did it.
Calculator-Are you serious? 

Hmm, well, I've never seen a Scratch project anywhere (on the internet) other than the scratch website (Not counting embedding), so maybe you're right. I haven't been very active here for a while.

Crazy fee to publish to iOS-$150, not that much. I've seen pics of people that are people on stencyl who have made more than $1000 on the app store-Really, it's easy to get more than $150 on the app store. Anyways, if you want me to take out pay for the debate, you can publish to flash, something better than Scratch can do, and having a 2 second splash isn't as bad a restriction to only being able to put it on this site.

Scratch is a great program, but Stencyl's more advanced.

Ok but seriously, why bother with Stencyl if you've already learned scratch? Why not move on to something advanced like Pascal, C++, or Java?

Stencyl's not as advanced as C++, learning Stencyl is much easier-You don't have to memorize lines of code or anything like that.

Move on to Stencyl to help you learn how to code! 

One reason I chose Stencyl was because you have the option to view the real code you are making with the blocks. So you can learn actual code while still sticking to the block interface. Stencyl also allows you to code within the program, you are not limited to just the blocks they give you.

PS: Stencyl will be supporting native C++ apps in the future, too. 

Is Stencyl paying you? You sound like an ad geez.

Like slinger said, after mastering Scratch you are ready for more advanced stuffs. I like Python.
