Scratchers Informer #2

http://i51.tinypic.com/ixsewy.jpg

In this edition of the Scratchers Informer you will find...
- Welcome New Users!
- BB Code Tricks.
- What's happening in Miscellaneous?
- User Spotlight: RocksAndFire.

Welcome New Users!
As requested by Paddle2See, this edition contains a warm greeting to new Users. Anyway, here are some awesome things you can do with the program and the website. Forums are a brilliant place all round. If you ever have questions about help on your game/project, then don't be afraid to ask here. Post a link to your latest game on the Show and Tell forum, it's great, most the time it increases my views by 70-80! If your good and Squeak or have some knowledge of Java etc; then look up how to edit the source code. You can find a handful of guides on the Advanced Topics Forum. Then, you can create your own blocks with their own new features!

BB Code Tricks.
Another requested section, BB Code tricks. To be honest, blank black text can be boring even when well spaced out, written will and formatted. Try adding BB Code to your Forum posts and topics to add a little pazzaz that is bound to attract the right sort of attention. You can research it here. Just a little hint to; although it may seem tempting, don't make your posts multi-coloured! Use your coloured text evenly and your forum posts are bound to look alot healthier.

What's happening in Miscellaneous
There is a noted increase of the interest in Online games. Alot of talk is growing against the world popular game Runescape that has lead to many other topics collaborating on the same things. Traditionaly, there are quite a few topics on the 'Halloween Upcoming'. There are topics about some Scary stories and a large debate about how old is old enough to go trick or treating? What do you think?

User Spotlight: RocksAndFire.
I have chosen RocksAndFire as this editions spotlight. His OldTown Productions Collab was mentioned in the last edition and since then he has come very far. He created a hugely successful project called 'Germ World' that was curated and has received a new 1000 views. He has recently drawn attention to last weeks spotlight user: 08jackt. He joined the OldTown Production's and to be honest, it's a good thing to have him in your collab  big_smile

Thanks for reading, comment and cheer me on for the next edition!
