This is my explanation for the banning:
The scratch team was trying to ban one user for spamming. They were looking through the list of users, and instead of using the keystroke for copy (Ctrl-C), they used the keystroke for select all, then copied because of their constant need to use it. (With the changing of the website, they must have gotten used to using select all)
OR:
One of the admins or mods banned everyone by accident XDNot quite.

One moderator (me) was trying to ban one user for commercially spamming the forums; as usual, the IP ban was added as an extra measure. What she didn't know was that there was a proxy server bug, causing the forum website to read everyone's IP address as the same as that of the commercial spammer - and since the IP ban was designed to block the spammer's IP address, she unintentionally ended up causing everyone to be banned from the Scratch Forums. Fortunately, she contacted the Scratch Team and they fixed the proxy bug in the forums, so everyone got unbanned again while the spammer was no longer allowed to post in the forums.![]()
Actually, it thought everyone's IP was the Scratch site's server's IP address, so you were banning the server
