Featured Forum: New Scratch Members!
I decided to start this Sundays edition of with a Forum Feature. I didn't do any in the last one so I picked my favourite Forum... New Scratch Members! I looked on there and I noticed that wherever I scrolled the page to, the only topics apart from Stickied; were 'Welcome to Scratch topics'. The Community statistics tell me that since Scratch as released in '07 there are a stunning 633,927 members registered! Speaking of new Scratch members, how many people have you got to join Scratch?

Fall Elections...?
I know that I'm excited about the elections and everything; so I checked the topic in Announcements and I see only 9 people saying that they are running for the two seats this Fall. I know the final date for all these is the 19th of October, but after I viewed KalinaStars thread for 'Moderator Candidates' I expected there to be at least 30 comments. Anyway - I suppose there being less people running is a good thing. I wasn't tuning in on the last elections; but were there more users running?

The Inforumer Blog.
I started to run a Blog, just a simple thing on Blogger to try and get you to see The Inforumer in a slightly more creative way, if you know what I mean. You can find it here: TheInforumer.blogspot.com. All the BB code works on Blogger, so all I need to do is copy and paste! Anyway, you can comment there as well, an Blogger will feature the Blog if I get enough traffic/views. I also have a website here: FlexiStudio.webs.com that you can check out. It has a list of my projects and a blog where I post things like games that I might be bringing out! What do you think?

Halloween Discussion!
I myself brought out a Halloween project that you can see here. cheddargirl also brought one out called My Creative Pumpkin. I can't wait until Halloween because I love the spirit of it all. It's good to see your local community joking around and having fun; even if they are dressed up like a dead guy or something... Are you going to go out trick or treating?Discuss it here.

User Spotlight: coolstuff
I've always wanted to spotlight you coolstuff. Because you were in fact the first person to talk to me on Scratch. I brought at a topic on how to use Scratch and so on etc; and the first comment was by coolstuff, telling me how great I am. Now it's my turn wink
Coolstuff has always had awesome projects and I love his game Scape. He is constantly active and is always there to welcome new users. He just brought out a thread called Chronicles of a Moderator: Moderating & the Responsibilities Involved. It's amazing, and is like a life time story of coolstuff's time as a Moderator. Read it! It's stunning.
Congrats coolstuff, for making the Spotlight!

Hope you enjoy this Sunday's edition. Comment, discuss and keep it at the top of the forum for the time being. Thanks!

Seriously, every time you see my Inforumer you have something bad to pick with it. Coolstuff is a boy; I have done nothing wrong. I'm being kind now, please say something nice - Or nothing at all. smile

KalinaStar's directory was created before the 14+ requirement and parents permission requirement was announced. It contains a lot of candidates who don't yet fit the given criteria (hence why there are a lot less people signing up this time around).

And one who is qualified (TheSaint) is on vacation and should probably be back by the 18th. smile

I could've sworn I heard him called a girl more often than boy.

I suppose it also makes all the elections easier for the Scratch Team. Being less people - everything is alot more straight forward and direct.
