Scratch

Okay, reviewed Generations. It is an awesome game, great soundtrack, fitting graphics, near flawless programming, along with many other great features. The sound patch is a not often though of idea, so good job with that. Most would have simply left te soundtrack as is. Optional objectives are a nice feature, and have great potential! I hope to see you continue to build on that, for those interested in more complicated goals. I would certainly rate it in the 90's range on my rating scale, found in my review thread, it would achieve a 96, an almost impossible to achieve rating! Borrego is truly a talented scratcher, especially in the variables and lists department. I can't wait to see his upcoming hospital game!

Edit: I already have an account, but everytime I tried to log in, it logged me back out.

Guys, this is important.

Do we have CatPerson's permission to include her in an article?

ok, I got into the forums website, and registered!

Ever thought it would be great to be a curator on the Scratch Homepage? Yes, it's great to decide who becomes famous and who remains in obscurity, but is it all it's said to be? Most curators would tell you that yes, it is a great experience, but we have another story to tell.

Some of you may have noticed that a different Scratcher is the current curator, but you may have also noticed that the previous curator did not serve a full term. In fact, they only served a few days before the new one took over. While some may have thought this to be in error, that is not the case. It all started when the previous curator was chosen to be the next one to pick the projects, and as with any other curator before them, she/he started receiving requests and suggestions for things to curate. But when the time came for this curator (to remain unnamed) to be rotated in, the requests became more frequent, and they simply could not keep up with all projects mentioned to her due to a very busy schedule at home and at school.

Eventually, the strain became to much, and they requested in a project that people stop requesting curation. The project received many negative comments, but they cannot be quoted because they were deleted by the previous curator. After all this, they finally replied with this statement: "OMG! I DIDNT REALIZE IT AND I GET LIKE TEN TROLLERS! I JUST STARTED MIDDLE SCHOOL! I HAVE A C IN READING AND A B IN MATH AND NO ONE WILL CUT ME SOME SLACK ! I GOT A BEHAVIOR INFRACTION FOR FORGETTING ONE THING AT MY LAST CLASS, IVE HAD ABUNCH OF TROLLERS ON HER, THE ONLY HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK HAS BEEN SOMEONE TELLING ME MY CRUSH LIKES ME! D:< I dont want to be curator anymore! Infact, this is the thing I wouldnt even suggest to my worst enemy!" [I'm not sure if we should include this part... But that's just me] After making this reply, she disabled commenting, so new discussions were not made after said post..

The ST heeded their request and immediately asked the current curator how soon he could start. They replied, "I can start anytime you'd like.  " He was put into the curator position the next day, and the schedule has been reset to accommodate for the previous one's resignation.

In conclusion, being selected curator, a dream come true? Or perhaps your worst nightmare? For most, it was a great experience, one they would always remember as a great time helping the community. For others, this will now be something they will regret. For all aspiring curators on the Scratch site, be very sure you want to do this before applying, and ask for advice from previous curators if you are selected. This will improve your chances of having a great time, and a great experience. Thanks, and Scratch On.

I don't think it would be very good to mention anyone's name in this, and if any, only stevetheipad's.

So, what should we do?

I'll try and contact her. If that is impossible, then I when this issue is released, if she complains, we'll change it. That's my brilliant plan.    I was always so good with public relations... 

She hasn't closed all her projects yet, so I replied on it telling her what we were doing and asking if we could use the story. If she doesn't reply by the time the next issue comes out, then I told her we'd put it in, but take it out or edit it if she wanted.

In light of your second issue, the "Bromance Controversy" article is highly biased. You present several cases of people who support gay rights being mean, but none for the other side. This is likely because most such opinions were deleted, but it still happens and is offensive to many members of our community. You also imply that the project isn't entirely appropriate for Scratch, but that opinion automatically sides you with the homophobic commenters. Please remember reporting should be an unbiased job.

Chongyian, first off, when is the next issue going to be released? And second, I need your report on the Scratch Times before then.

This Sunday, and do you want to do the report for tst instead?

(this message is going to interrupt the current conversation; just read it and move on, 'kay?)

chongyian, I want you to know that I have made some very small changes to the site and will continue doing so as the Chatter develops. It's nothing to be worried about, just a few spelling changes as well as adding, like, two sentences total. 

What should I do?

okay! So since both of you agree, should i start the signature collab thread? If yes, under what name?

(ahem)
Wrong thread, chongyian...
This is the Chatter. 

I know! But since both you and humhumgames check in here often, i decided this was a suitable place.

@ Firedrake969, check the columns and see what is not done, then register for it.
