Chatrooms

I think Scratch 2.0 should develop off-site chatrooms where users can log in and join locked or public chat rooms. They would be live.

Re: Chatrooms

Please read the sticky before suggesting anything.
This has been suggested before, but it has been rejected.

1. Chatrooms

There is a sticky about this already, but I thought it deserved a mention. Chatrooms aren't allowed because the Scratch Team doesn't have the time and interest to work on it. They are just too busy working with projects and comments.
They also discourage using projects, galleries, or the forums as a chatroom. Here's something that andresmh said:

As you might know some members have created their own websites with forums and even chatrooms. You are free to do that as it is outside the realm of what Scratch is about. You might also have noticed that a few users were arguing about the list of chatrooms. So if that happens just with a list of chatrooms imagine what happens with the chatrooms themselves  smile

Also, if many users shared a chatroom, it would get all cluttered up and complicated, with people desperately trying to find their friends' new messages and all that.

Sorry, but it's not going to happen.

Re: Chatrooms

I believe the ST has already explicitly stated they don't want chat rooms, or PM, or the ability to lock certain people from posting on things, as it takes away from the freedom of the forums, or something like that. Sorry!  hmm

Re: Chatrooms

You are allowed to make one outside of Scratch, should you have the resources, and then invite Scratcers to it, but the ST won't do it.

Re: Chatrooms

isn't it my understanding but discussion rooms in scratch 2.0 will be allowed in projects?
