Many of you may have already noticed the disappearance of the archived forums. Some mods and Scratch Team felt the forums have gotten a bit cluttered, so we thought we'd try making the archives invisible for a bit and see how things go.

Is this a good change? A bad change? Let us know what you think!

rufflebee · 2010-11-10 15:11:42

It's a decent change
We didn't really need the archived forums, but they were fun to read through when you're bored
And we kind of needed the archived TBG forum.. People on the TBGs liked to use it for ideas, and New Scratchers won't even know we have a TBG site if the main forum doesn't say anything about it anywhere, if you know what I mean

Telemachus · 2010-11-10 15:12:23

So they are invisible at the moment? I like the change, but can the archives still be accessed?

JeanTheFox · 2010-11-10 15:12:33

As much as I'll miss those forums, I think it was a good change; for the benefit of the server and new users. Besides, there was no use in them, seeing as we have the TBG Forums instead of the old one, the Scratch Days were over, there is an entire forum about Inspiration and More, and we have a whole site for Scratch in classrooms.

I think that this was an overall good decision; thanks Scratch Team! smile

Nope, not the way it is set up now. hmm

I think the question this raises is: does the benefit of having that information available outweigh the cost of the clutter?

Thanks, and glad you like it! It's not really a final decision yet though. I just thought we'd try it out and see how it goes.

ScratchReallyROCKS · 2010-11-10 15:36:21

Woah, everything feels weird now! Oh well. I think it's a good decision.

12three · 2010-11-10 16:03:09

It's okay. I sorta like reading through old posts though. hmm

Wow - that's really interesting. To be honest I'm pretty surprised to hear that several Scratchers like reading ye olde archived posts.

iCode-747 · 2010-11-10 16:07:42

Wow.

Weird. tongue

The_Dancing_Donut · 2010-11-10 16:15:27

It's helpful for New Scratchers, who could get confused about why they can't post in the archived forums. It was fun to read through the old threads, but things have got to change sometime, I guess. hmm

fullmoon · 2010-11-10 16:31:19

Yay! It looks nice.

recycle49 · 2010-11-10 16:52:07

Woah, i used to scroll to mkisc and over do it, now i dont, but i think its a good choise, it will clear things up... smile

I'm curious to know more about what that's like for you.

Blade-Edge · 2010-11-10 16:57:22

I did also.
I first noticed it was gone last week, I think, after my link to a topic in the archives stopped working.

gettysburg11 · 2010-11-10 17:05:57

Oh yeah, I thought something was missing. lol
If we try to access topics from the old forums from our "Show Your Posts" page, will we get a 404 or something?
Edit: Oh never mind, I see they were deleted from there as well.

Hmm... not sure what that was. I only just made the archives invisible this morning.

Misc is not an archived forum.

And I'm against this change. It's quite fun to look back and see what ye olde Scratcher was like. tongue

poopo · 2010-11-10 18:10:59

I kind of miss them. hmm

illusionist · 2010-11-10 18:19:59

I've never really had any use for them. tongue
