A simple online/offline detector
Why it works:
Off-line scratch has problems dividing by 0 or nothing for some reason, and when a script has an error it stops the whole script from working.
On-line either it can divide by 0 or when it has an error it just skips that part, but either way it allows us to create on-line detectors.
What could we use it for:
Often projects are broken or laggy on-line, if you want people to download it to get a better playing experience or you want people to stop saying "Dosent work!" in the comments then you can either have a little message telling them they should download popping up or completely stop the game on-line so they have to download.

Cool find. I know that there are other methords too.
My site 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.

Yep, I've used this one before because it very simple. And what you mentioned about laggy projects is a good idea. If you also have music in a project, and it makes it slow online, you could only have it play offline.

Oh WOW! Cool! I needed this. I just hope it's good for BYOB, that's all. I'm making a chat room with Mesh and a few scripts, a Terms of Use sprite, and a Users list.
