When the Text Based Games go away, will it get rid of our post count from TBG? I posted alot in here, and wanna keep my sig.
I don't think the post count will go down. The Scratch Team would have to do it manually if they wanted to make the post counts go down...

But then our post link would have alot of broken links.

6 hours to go!

Dream-Caster · 2009-10-18 20:33:46

I will make sure to watch it be deleted.

Coreyc · 2009-10-18 21:04:56

Please rethink the deleting Scratch Team. This is your last chance to change your mind and you might want to use. TBG don't leave me. Why does it have to go.

Dream-Caster · 2009-10-18 22:14:35

ST explained they would be making another one.Its too hard to moderate since there is sooo many Topics to moderate and it takes up space.I will be sad to see it go but I cannot wait for the new one ;-)

ok im making another speech

this is why i should become a moderator

I first came to the scratch site in the year 2008, what I saw here was a friendly group of supportive people who worked on making the best games that they could. this was a great group of people, everyone was very accepting and I Was adding people to my friends all the time. I later discovered the forums and got to see some more people too, the entire time I was striving to get the frotn page because I really wanted the popularity. well to this day I have only achieved it twice, once was an advertisement and the second was because lanie added one of my projects to her favorites when she was curator (thnx lanie) but I have never really gotten what I really want and that was number one top loved (on the front page) I think this is something everyone strives for. but you know I realised something. as much as fame is great and everyone wants to be famous you gotta look back on the little things. i've recieved comments saying that my games were incredible, amazing, and I've recieved comments saying that they were awful and that they could do better in their sleep, the hurtful comments hurt but when someone says great job its a great feelin, and I always try to reply to people hwen they comment on my work. So the main reason i think scratch is awesome is because it teaches you lessons like that. how no matter how tough the world is as long as you have people supporting you you can make it through anything. and you know what for all the people who have had their games insulted, who have been told they suck at scratch. well you know what, you may be bad at programming or stuff like that, but think about this, everyone has been bad at something at some point, people aren't born great, people are made great by never giving up and working hard. look at me, im an ok programmer, but i started out programming simple games where all you could do was move a car left to right, don't ever let someone tell you that you can't do something because you always can and if you try then you will!
I believe in the Scratch community, I believe that I can be mature and make good decisions that will help out scratchers, I believe that I should be the NEW TEXT BASED GAMES MODERATOR!

You should split that into paragraphs, it's tl;dr. xD

Added Samurai and Tonks to the list.

List of all who volunteered to become a moderator on the new TBG:

What would be the difference from a TBG on this forum and one on a different forum as said on the announcement? TBG should stay. The removal will cause more problems and it will fill up Inspiration and More. A lot of people will get angry and possibly quit scratch. If moderators are being elected right now, then they might as well help keep TBG running. Please think about this post.

There are two reasons:

1. The Scratch moderators won't have to waste their time moderating the Text-Based Games. This helps them.
2. The Text-Based Games aren't relevant to Scratch, so they shouldn't be in the Scratch Forums.

There will probably be a new website; Inspiration and More won't be cluttered. And if the website isn't made, it'll take very little moderating to keep it clean. And if people keep on posting those games, there can be a sticky reminding people not to.

If they quit Scratch, that's their problem. And the people who quit will be the ones who only joined Scratch for the Text-Based Games. Scratch is not for those games. They deserve to quit.

They won't be quitting anyway if there's the new website.

They can have tons of people wanting to be a moderator, but no one might be good.

yes well it depends on how they delete it,they could delete tommorow morning or around noon,im just saying it is officially considered deleted in 2 hours,considered,not it has just its considered.Besides,If i were in the UK I wouldn't know what time it would be deleted,for example,in michigan they would probably wonder why it hasn't been deleted yet.

Example

Time in Sweden 08:00
Time in US 02:00

If TBG is deleted in two hours it will be deleted 04:00 in the US
and 10:00 in Sweden.

It's two hours left for both of the countries.

Dream-Caster · 2009-10-19 02:10:57

Dream-Caster · 2009-10-19 02:18:11

ok lets say your in japan.You might think the official time of deletion is monday your time.Come monday the forum topic is still here?Why?Because of time zones.You can't just say America's Time zone is the official Deletion of this whole topic.There could be a bunch of japanese scratchers wondering why it isn't deleted.
