i just noticed this
i was on the forums somewhere, and saw a post by andresmh, and a post by lightnin, and they are both on the scratch team, but have different titles.
andresmh says Scratch Team at MIT, but others like lightnin and Paddle2See say just Scratch Team.
i wonder why...

Well, andresmh is from the MIT (in Massachusetts), but Paddle2See and Lightnin from different states (I know that Paddle is from Maine, but I don't know where Lightnin is from), so that's why they're not credited as Scratch Team at MIT.

Not to mention, Paddle2See wasn't ALWAYS an admin. I knew him even before he got admin status.

Re: i just noticed this
Why aren't they all at MIT, though? Does Scratch have more than one base?

Well, this way you don't have to live near MIT to join the Scratch Team... oh, Jens used to be on the Scratch Team, and he was in Germany.

Re: i just noticed this
Wow, I missed so much of Scratch's history...
I should really read Chris' "An un-brief history of Scratch" more.

You do realise that he was using a different account to start with as an admin? He had an admin account, and a user account (Paddle2See). He then decided it got to hard and changed the Paddle2see account to admin so he only used one account. Another history lesson from ssss, master of disgression!

Interesting story . . . I haven't heard anything like it . . .
I've always believed Paddle2See started as a regular (perhaps even extraordinary) user, and that he eventually gained Scratch Team status.
I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!

You would have to pull some strings to do that.
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.
