"Harass"? LOL. 
That was epic!

Not really

Yeah it is 

What are you talking about? If you don't understand the word 'harrass', it means to consistently bother something or someone in a negative manner.

If there was a feature to ignore projects by certain users it would clear up my front page and cause less flame wars. 

Heh-ignore people's projects....that would be great 

im an 07er, and some things have gotten better since then.  For example, a lot of really good projects have been developed from 2008-10, but i agree, some things have gotten worse

I remember around the time I joined, scratch was completely different than it is now. Everyone tried to make the best projects they could. There weren't many users so almost every active person had a fair chance of getting famous.

Then, somewhere along the line something went wrong, and the community quickly devolved into a social networking site, only with more arguments. In order to get famous, you can just make a bunch of 1-sprite 0-script projects with a nice picture and everyone loves you. No one seems to care about programming, as long as the art is good, that's all that really counts in a project anymore.

As I sit here tapping the tiny keys on my DSi's touch screen, I can't help but wonder - where did we go wrong?

That turned out surprisingly deep.

  You know what, I'm tired of people being jerks and insulting artists. Most of them are considerate, kind, helpful, fun, artistic people. They give constructive criticism, and hardly any of them go,"OMG IZ ON FRONT PAGE YAYZ PEOPLZ PURTY ARTZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IZ KAWAII NEKO DESU," like people say.

*that didn't turn out too deep*

littletonkslover, Scratch is not the only place for art. there are many other places to do this. there are some artists that i respect deeply (Mahoashley, Dotsandstripes, and NXTGEEK come to mind), but some who i have little or no interest in viewing his/her projects. FOR ALL YOU USERS WHO DONT LIKE ARTISTS:
           Try another programming language, like Game Maker or MUGEN (that one uses C)

I only joined in the last school year, in early 2009.  I don't know what it was like before, but now I know that it's hard to be famous, even if you do really good projects.  People like Nikki (who is a good Scratcher, her video has animation and plot and stuff) who can get on the front page just because they got discovered for no apparent reason.  My sister is so desperate for fame that she spams on Nikki's videos (and then Nikki deletes all the comment, and I don't blame her in the slightest). 

So, maybe it was good back then.  I wouldn't know.

You're right. Everyone's quitting now! I think one of my friends on here is quitting, and I'm really sad about that. And my other friend had her account BLOCKED, so she had to go on her cousins account. I'm getting kinda depressed because everything is now so gloomy on here. Sure, one million projects is cool, but I didn't really care too much about it.    WHY CAN'T EVERYTHING BE LIKE IT USED TO BE???????   Now that I think about it, I see why everyone is quitting....
