That title was there to get your attention. The point of this topic is actually the opposite of the title.
Once Scratch 2.0 comes out, many people may think that it will take over/destroy our Scratch mods. However, that is not nesecarily true.
the Scratch Wiki article on Scratch 2.0 wrote:
Scratch will require Adobe Flash Player 10 to work online, though a downloadable version will be available as well
This means that although Scratch 2.0 will be mainly online, a .image will still be avaliable.
Hope that clears some things up.

I don't know who thinks that 2.0 will destroy their Scratch mods, I thought the general understanding was that they'll still be around but they just won't get updates from 2.0.

I agree. I made a protest against Flash Scratch post under suggestions.

well, you could still re-write your mods in actionscript...

There's no way Scratch could be built in HTML5! Take a look at the lag in the experimental viewer, triple it, and you have an idea of what to expect from an HTML Scratch running on the newest hardware on a modern browser.

I believe it's more a compatibility issue than a speed one.

Scratch 1.x will remain to be supported - and you can continue modifying 1.4 if you'd like. They will have the source code of 2.0 up for download, but obviously that won't be quite as easy because Flash costs a ton of money

You're right, Javascript execution is getting faster every day. But it still doesn't compare to compiled AS3.

ITS GONNA KILL OUR MODS!!!!!!!!
lol random.
Why cant we Just Update Mods So That They Have The New Blocks And Interface Changes??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

We need to band together to make a mod better than anything Scratch Team could make. People can write code to make blocks, or edit Squeak in a block-based way, from mods. Slash has the ability to be run online. We can do it!

I hear that it works better on Macs. I can't say for sure, because I don't have one, but that's what I hear.

It won't completely kill your modifications, but you'll have to make them again for Scratch 2.0.

And for those source code people... FLASH COSTS 600$! As long as they have a squeak option, we'll be fine.

It will not destroy the mods.
You have a number of choices:
1: Continue using the 1.4 source.
2: Find a FREE Flash editor
3: Give me a cookie.
4: Don't make any more mods.
Yes, 3 and 4 are jokes, but 1 and 2 are serious.

Billybob-Mario had a great idea, band together to create a mod. Wait, I can just imagine the arguing over what to name it. If we be extremely organized, we might be able to pull it off/

There ARE free Flash editors, like FlashDevelop! (You can also get Flex Builder 3 free if you're a student).
Also, all of you can get Flash for $250 since you're probably all students. But 2.0 is probably being built with Flex (free), not Flash! I guess we'll see...

Actually, it turns out you can get the newest version of Flash Builder (née Flex) for free here! I had been using an older version!
