Scratch: becoming an obsession?

I think Kids are taking scratch to seriously. They are starting to have drama over Scratch, and making a big deal out of it, when is scratch is just a website. People worry about life, not about a virtual reality.


some people say they cry in real life when their best VFF (virtual friend forever) leaves scratch. I am concerned that scratch is becoming to much drama and less fun.  I am not sayng leave scratch, im just saying make us of life! dont waste it on a website! most peole on scratch dont even know eachother, yet they are supposedly 'best friends' or worse 'married'.

Yeah, it's out of control. The frog guy who said he'd quit takes Scratch (and his RPG) waaaaaay too seriously.

I see Scratch as, well, a website. I've never felt strong emotions about it (except in debate threads).

Re: Scratch: becoming an obsession?

About 20 kids going on a website doesn't seem to be a problem to me. Lots of kids just come because they want attention.

Now WoW is a different story...
