hjhjhj

Yes, the title of this thread does indeed suggest that it's a spam topic, but believe me, that random string of 'h's and 'j's is relevant.

Anyway... If you go to http://scratch.mit.edu/users/, then it says that the closest match is http://scratch.mit.edu/users/hjhjhj.

Why is this user in particular the closest match to nothing?  hmm

Re: hjhjhj

Interesting! Maybe he is the first non-developer account that was put in the user directory? I don't know. :p

Re: hjhjhj

O_o That's really interesting...

EDIT: @ian528: I don't think so... I checked and the user is user 103987  hmm

Re: hjhjhj

Fascinating! I am curious. Often it comes up with strangely irrelevant results. For example, I'm fairly certain that a few months ago Google searching Scratch would yield a result for a particular user, though I forget who.

Re: hjhjhj

maybe he was the first account memorized by scratch and got put there for no reason.

Re: hjhjhj

Hm - I've tried that URL before, but I think it turned out a different closest match... perhaps it picks a random account for the closest match every so often?

Re: hjhjhj

A long time ago instead of hjhjhj it was some random guy with a dancing banana icon.
