When Inspiration & More was first created, it was just threads that didn't fit anywhere else. Now Miscellaneous is basically chat. Some users have 3000+ posts and only 1 or 2 projects. In 2007, Scratch revolved around projects, not useless threads in the forums. In fact, the forums were used much less. I had 100+ projects and only 120 posts! I wish we could have that again...

I guess people just began to enjoy chatting a lot more. A newer generation of users came on and found the forums, the older generation left, and the new generation starting chatting a lot more. If you look at the significant volume of Miscellaneous posts are made by users who just joined the forums within the last year or two.

hmm   sad

Exactly. Show and Tell, in particular, has dropped from the start of the year, to now, by over 1000 posts! We need to do something. I have a plan...

What's this plan?

We have to remember, though, that Show and Tell was the old Miscellaneous.

Re: I feel something is missing today from the old days...what is it?

I think the thing that was different was that there were no "I quit!" projects and posts that were just to get attention or to get people to do something. I remember once this person posted "10 people to join hamster RPG 2 in the next 3 days or I quit!" No one joined, but he stayed anyways. I hate things like that. I'm fine with it if you announce it without asking for publicity then ACTUALLY LEAVE, but publicity stunts are (sadly) in abundance today  sad


Back. For now. Maybe.

Not true. I greatly enjoy all aspects of Scratch, both making projects and posting on the forums.  smile
