Survey: Why exactly did you join Scratch?

Recently people don't seem to have joining so they could program - they seem to be joining for other purposes. So I thought I'd make this...

Why did you join Scratch?
a. Because I wanted to program and share my projects
b. Because I wanted to chat with my friends
c. Because I wanted to chat in the forums (Miscellaneous, hint hint)
d. Because I wanted to play in the Text-Based Games (?)

If you answered a...
Congratulations! You joined for the right reason - to imagine, program, and share. Good job!  big_smile

If you answered b...
Why don't you use a website designed for that? Scratch wasn't made so you could chat with your friends...  hmm

If you answered c...
Well, well, well... you just want to chat in the forums, don't you? You don't even care about Scratch itself - all you care about is chatting.  sad

If you answered d...
*sigh*... So you joined just to play some games in the forums? You don't even care about Scratch, whether it's the website or the forums. You just want to play some games... go and do that somewhere else.  roll

Re: Survey: Why exactly did you join Scratch?

A. I wanted to program in a simple, easy language(before I tried Java and Alice- I wasn't too successful). The addition of sharing projects online sparked my interest.  smile

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

So that's why you're here? To get the highest post count? And that's it?  roll

You have no value to the Scratch community. All that'll be of you is that you'll have the highest post count in the forums - and you don't deserve it.

Well I didn't sign up to program. I could do that without signing up.

Actually I like to think that my 1 project keeps several angsty kids from commiting suicide daily.

Re: Survey: Why exactly did you join Scratch?

I didn't join Scratch for any of the reasons, I joined to see what it was like. I guess the closest answer is a, because I didn't have any friends on Scratch when I first joined.

Re: Survey: Why exactly did you join Scratch?

Honestly, A. About 8 months ago I went to a class that taught us the basics of Scratch. After the class was over, I wanted to learn even more about it, and share my ideas with the site. Unfortunately, I just haven't had any ideas for a project in a long time.  sad
