I honestly have to say that these are lame questions. Knowing about the community more than scratch it self is just wrong. Heres my questions:
1. What is a good substitute for "Unless <statement>" (thats not an actual block, but you should understand what I mean)?
2. If you can't use a move _ steps block, what function(s) should you used to move based on the direction of the sprite?
3. What day is scratch day?
4. Approximately when was the Scratch website released (season & year is enough)?
5. What block, was first an idea, to explain scripts, and then turned into a grey control block, but is now available via a different way?
1. <if>
<else>
<end>
2. You can make a variable called xvelocity, and use the <change x by ( )> block.
3. May 15
4. Spring 2007?
5. That has something to do with BYOB, I know it....

[blocks]
<if>
<else>
<end>
OR
<if> << <not> blah blah >>
<end>
[/blocks]
2. If you can't use a move _ steps block, what function(s) should you used to move based on the direction of the sprite?
You can use the functions "sine" and "cosine" to approximate which direction is to move. Then you place sine into move x steps and cosine into move y steps, respectively.
3. What day is scratch day? The 15th of May
4. Approximately when was the Scratch website released (season & year is enough)? Around March-May(ish)(Spring) of 2007
5. What block, was first an idea, to explain scripts, and then turned into a grey control block, but is now available via a different way?
The comment block is now available as a little pop-up.

That's basically it. But I know a lot of stuff that happened before you came. Who is glough and what did he do to make the community hate him?

Oh, you said FUNCTIONS for number 2. In that case, you would have to use the sine and cosine blocks.

Glough just downloaded and uploaded other peoples' projects and said they were his. But instead of ignoring him, some people viewed and commented on his stolen projects and they made it to the front page.

So you're saying is that everyone should know about the community - two projects, one of which is made by you - and if they don't they aren't a good Scratcher?
Well, at this point, you should've seen the link in my siggy, and you should have seen Greatdane's siggy with the link to his OS.
And the-whiz, give it one more shot. On #3, be more specific.
But I'll add you anyways.

To me it makes no difference, as I don't know the specific use for those terms in high tech programming lagnuages..
Also for the answers just look at Greatdane. He got it all right.
