The Elections! You heard it here first!
Like I promised, the Elections news would be posted here as soon as it came out! Lightnin, a member of the Scratch Team, recently posted saying that the Elections have been bid to continue! This Fall, there are 2 seats open so it's going to be a tight race! The new process includes contacting the parents of the To Be 'mod'; maybe over a Phone call or Skype etc; It'll be interesting to see how many people will post and say they are running. There has been mass running and I have seen dozens of topics for speeches all over the Forums. Good luck to all and I hope you get your votes!

The Dates. Don't miss out!
Tuesday 19 October - Announcing Candidates.

Featured Projects
Many people thought; because of the great response, I should advertise some projects by some other people. It's a good idea, but I will be choosing projects in the future so please don't ask to get featured! Anyway, the first of the two is 'Watch Out' by poopo. It's a great game that has been shown as second top viewed on the Scratch front page. You play as a bird; dodging various objects including 'Tuna' and Sticks. It's a great game and is very addictive! The second game called 'Ultimate Guide to Scratch! I have to say, it's extremely detailed. It's going to be extremely helpful to new users and written cleanly, so many ages can understand. Check them out and discuss here!

Featured Companies
I have been requested by 'juststickman' to feature his 'Company', called SMLITC. It was founded last summer and has just been revived. There are two web designers, and himself as the game designer. They are looking for staff! To join SMLITC you have to be able to; Make flash games - Use stencyl - Draw art for games - Make high quality Scratch games - Advertise well - Create sound effects - Web hosting. It sounded good, so I checked out their site here. The site is nicely laid out and they have some Forums where you can discuss everything related to their site and the games etc; Check it out and spread what you think!

User Spotlight: rufflebee
Rufflebee has been chosen as our user spotlight for this edition! She recently update his sig, that display's she has been on Scratch for two years now! Congratulations! Anyway, rufflebee has always been an active and a hard user to beat at posting 'Welcome' comments to new users. They are well known and I have researched and seen many helpful posts by her! I actually remember playing her project Roboter Factory, when it had first come out. It wasn't one of the first projects I had played, but at the time it had set a new milestone for me.

Look, I'm sorry for the lateness, but the news on the elections was released at 9:00 UK time, and I had to go for a late dinner. But then there was another incident that kept me back from finishing this. Trust me; Iv'e been so keen to get at this and finish this all day. Anyway - Thanks for reading, comment and discuss!
