Yep. 

I'm serious. The reasons?
1. People often spend their lives posting in here. Don't!
2. The Scratch Forums are for helping others (All About Scratch and New Scratch Members), suggesting things (Suggestions), reporting bugs (Troubleshooting), and more. What's the use in the Text-Based Games? People don't post for good reasons, they post for their fun. Grrr!
3. There's no need for it if you want to RPG and things. Projects or galleries may be better for this. You actually can see something, whether one project or plenty.
4.

Actually....there are some days when I agree with you.  This website is for supporting Scratch...the fact of the matter is, the Text-Based Games take a fair amount of monitoring which is time and effort spent away from actually helping people do Scratch.

Thank you.

There's only one reason why the Text-Based Games (and Inspiration and More) should be kept. The same reason they were created: to stop games and things appearing on All About Scratch and more. But this problem is easily remedied: forum moderators can simply delete or close the games and RPGs. People will learn not to start them.

People that actually agree (or think the Text-Based Games are a waste of people's lives) follow. Take a look! It's great:
archmage (thinks that plenty of posts come from here, which is a waste)
cheddargirl (thinks that it's a handy way to get signatures and posts. Also thinks it's useless, no point, and nothing to do with Scratch (Good on you!)
Chrischb (agrees with everyone)
illusionist (agrees with archmage and thinks that playing the Text-Based Games is becoming a big no-no)
Jonathanpb (Read above)
Maki-Tak (thinks that everyone gets tons of posts when all they do is RPG. And also thinks that the forums are becoming a social network instead of for helping Scratchers)
MyRedNeptune (thinks the forums were better before the Text-Based Games and the Inspiration and More. Five gummy bears for you!)
Paddle2See (thinks that it takes up useless time moderating and is not helping people about Scratch)
TheSaint (thinks it's useless)


What do you think? If enough people support this (which would be really unexpected), I'll list your names with mine and suggest this. The rest of you should stock up on tissues. If not... then I'll leave it at that.

Some of the people you mentioned are COMPLETE hypocryts. some of them started THEIR OWN text based games, and hang around in the text based game section.

Ah. Just because we approve of the idea of it being deleted doesn't mean we're not allowed to use it. We're not the fanatics who waste our lives there... we just use it because it happens to be there.
And if it gets deleted, we don't care.

This isn't a joke anymore... I will suggest it soon. 

Go ahead, suggest it. I'll laugh as it gets shot down
You won't change the forums, so stop pretending that anything will even happen if you suggest it

You are unbelievely wrong. I have suggested it, along with the list of supporters. TEN people are in this!

The Text-Based Games were not thought of by the Scratch Team. It was by a lone Scratcher... one who caused all this. And if that Scratcher could do it, so can I... along with my supporters...

Of course, nothing's going to happen if Andrés doesn't see the suggestion.

I want to notice that typing in such a missionary way sparks flames 99% of the time. ^^

Okay, get buckets of water ready.

Yeah! I'm trying to make it feel dramatic... like on TV. Then everyone will feel sympathy and CONVERT TO THE LIGHT SIDE!

That was weird. I capitalized instead of italicizing (is that even a word?).

Ehh. I don't think that is such a good idea. xP


You have no idea how to advertise properly, dear Watson. ^^

Although, I like text based games (sometimes) I agree with you... U can add meh to teh list. I just think it takes up space, and time, and a lot of times there is innapropriate stuff.

Why doesnt a forum mod close this? I mean, its right to express your opinion, but it keeps on popping up on the front page, and its getting annoying.

look, people if you want to rpg, do it on a mmorpg site, it has better graphics and better storyline, and if you prefer text based games go to a text based mmorpg, they're actually fairly fun

I see why you suggested this. I'm falling from my main trail. I barely make Scratch projects any more; I mean real ones. I'll contribute, for this IS kind of getting out of hand. Scratch is known more for it's RPGs then User games!!!

I for one, agree
