AT THIS RATE, THERE WILL PROBABLY BE NO AUGUST SCRATCHABLE UNLESS i GET MORE ARTICLES!
Now, onto business...
I'm thinking about doing a special on Scratch OSs... Any other ideas?
What I need:
-A Program-it-yourself article, about making OSs
-Your OS's logo
-Letters to meh about the past versions of Scratchable and comments on the articles.
-Great projects that you're found that have less that 50 views, of any style.
*We need people who can produce a funny, monthly comic for about 3 years in advance...
Too much to ask?
As usual, I'll be asking for ads, but I'll actually include them this time.
Anything you think I should add this time? Comments and criticism are welcome.

It's a magazine
@iCode: You should include all the ads you REJECTED last time.

Is it online?
yup. Look at meh siggeh!
@Aidan: Let's get one thing straight: I did not reject any ads, 08jackt's base's built-in ad system simply didn't want to work with the ads that were submitted. All of the "rejected" ads will be included in the August edition.
@08jackt: Thanks! Caould you write something about he evolution of SynOS? That would be awesome.

Meh Thungy
It starts here.
That's the tag line I created to give to my all new Scratch OS. Originally named Clipix micro, the half completed OS was dubbed "SynOS" after the original was created. I got the idea for the name a couple of years before hand. I always wanted to make a console called the "Syn." The only person to ever see, or use, the original SynOS was dsdude10. The original project was a lot different and held a pretty cool menu. The problem was; it was to big. It lagged...a lot. So that's when I decided to make a new version. I was near to completion, but after installing Scratch 1.4, I managed to loose the file. (I've found it now though.) Months later, "after deciding my life was worth living" I set to work on the 3rd model for the SynOS v1.0. When the OS was complete, it was trash. It lagged, and showed lack of design. The original demos I posted on my test accounts held a lot of potential, but I managed to ruin it.
Shortly after releasing it, I hopped straight to making the SynOS 2, instead of further building on it. (That's probably effect how I go about my projects nowadays.) The SynOS 2, and it's updated version SynOS 2: Crystal, barely lagged, and held some much needed updates. But still, it lacked what I wanted it to have, awesomeness. I knew it wasn't as good as I could make it. That's when I went to the drawing board.
About a month later, the SynOS 3 was released. In my eyes, this was the first good SynOS. It was revolutionary in some ways. It held draggable and minimising windows, something which wasn't seen in any other Scratch OS's at the time. I was proud of it. So proud, I dubbed it in my mind as the official SynOS.
In the SynOS 4, I further built on the SynOS 3. The graphics were improved and some enhancements were created. After release, deep down I knew it wasn't as good as it could be. Over all, it was a good scratch OS, but it had flaws in quality. Creating a deadline lead to some half finished, and last minute, changes.
That's when v4.1 was created, uploaded as a whole different project. The new one fixed all the problems the original v4 had. It increased the quality to higher standards, and basicly took out everything that was, well, rubbish. Weeks after, fg123's Xenotype really started to kick in. There were many debates to who's OS was better. Things were getting nasty. But that didn't stop me from announcing the final SynOS.
SynOS 5, or sometimes known as SynOS ={V}=, was the final SynOS. It was given a tag line of "it ends here" to play tribute to long term fans. The new version built of v4, changing the layout and some graphics around. Originally, the SynOS 5 was a collab, but sadly it broke apart. After piecing it all together myself, I uploaded it. The project "dominated" the front page, switching from Top Loved to Top Viewed for just over a week. Despite what others, and my self have said, SynOS ={V}= was indeed the final version, and always will be. The Scratch OS has come a long way. It started out as an idea from my childhood, and ended up here.
So yeah, it ends here.

Either way, thanks so much for the article!
