It just looks mind boggeling.

Im not! Im just saying that the amount of supposed views on this thread are mind boggeling!

fair

yes, pitch blocks and import sprite blocks 

RE: pitch

Hi guys,

a while ago a made an experimental pitch/note sensor reporter for Scratch. It was still Scratch 1.3 at the time, so you might want to adjust some code accordingly. Please feel free to use any of my pitch / note sensing changeset for Panther.

I think you guys are slightly missing the point.  What matters about robot pinging the forum isn't how high your count gets [you children are SOOO competitive!] but rather the load you're placing on the servers.  That's what'll annoy the Scratch Team, if anything.

Thats very kind of you Jens, Im sure the team will be very happy to add this.

I kinda figured that out. Also, if you left it going for 100 minutes it could get you over 10,000 posts. Thats a big impact.

Yeah, I don't think anyone in the team does that anymore, so if its sky rocketing again, it probably a user.

Like the BYOB thread?

Anyway, there's an official correct solution to the underlying problem (notification), namely RSS.  You guys should get the Scratch Team to offer RSS feeds from forum threads, and then write an RSS client in Panther. 

RSS was removed because it slowed the system down to much.

Yeah. I mean, Panther is one of the biggest mods out there.

Well I wouldn't protest to it being stickied.

Honestly, I think it deserves a sticky because it is a perfect example to set for other modders out there.

Hmmmm... its an example, but we don't really talk about how we made it that much, its sort of like a story in a way, but starts off with just block suggestions!
