Re: What's with those "Add Yourself" and "VS" projects?

I dislike them. I think they are a waste. Notice they are all made by 09'ers and some 10'ers? Curious.

Re: What's with those "Add Yourself" and "VS" projects?

I really dislike the VS projects, because those waste space on the server.

The Add Yourselfs, I don't support, but there are a few reasons that I do those somethimes:

1.) I like to make fun of them by adding face censorship to everyone who has done it before me.
2.) I like to add Rick Roll's to some of them (In 1.5 secons, BOOM!).
3.) I add extra scripts to them to make them actually worthwhile.

I am also not a fan of surveys, but I do them so that people don't assume that i'm dead.


I hope this post helped people, though it most likely didn't.

Re: What's with those "Add Yourself" and "VS" projects?

i can agree. what IS with those "addyourself" projects? they REALLY, in my opinion, take away the purpose of scratch.

HOWEVER, remixes DO work if they are Collaborations OR based off of a platform eingine. there really is no true value to an "add yourself doing this, that, etc., etc" project? why not make a collaboration WORTHWHILE instead? it is far more useful!

Not just platform engines, any engine.

It's easier, but you're not really doing anything. Drawing a few features onto an already made base without changing anything else isn't what scratch is for. If you want to do that, try going on an art site.

Your point of that comment is JSM? That was a pretty self explanatory statment by Midnightlepoard. Simply making an observation.

I don't like those projects... but they're not wrong.

Yes. Precisely.


Personally, I HATE them. But they're unavoidable.

A poll project with two choices, with a list of usernames for each. You just remix to add your name.

Addyourself Projects Would be Better If You Could Use Some Script So That what You Put There Stayed There On The One project, Same for VS

Heh, that is honestly the funniest thing I've ever read on this site.

Re: What's with those "Add Yourself" and "VS" projects?

Well, they aren't the best things on Scratch. But they shouldn't be removed. Add yourself projects are kind of fun. And VS. project are okay. And I love surveys.

And sometimes they mean stuff. Like petition "add yourself" projects (like, "(insert user here), please come back!".
