Maybe the Scratch Team have more secret testing sites lurking out there in the dark corners of the internet, waiting to be discovered...
Well maybe the one that's password protected (http://gamma.scratch.mit.edu/) is the most interesting one... It's just we can't see it...

Re: What is gamma.scratch.mit.edu ??
I sent them a "Contact Us" message, and I got back:
"It's just our old test server, where we'd test out bug fixes and the like before releasing them to the public. Some people where messing around on it a while ago, so we had to lock it down.
I know, kinda boring. It'd be cooler if it was some kind of secret lab or something.
Scratch On!

I suppose that clears it up. But then again, there are two other sites as well, maybe www.dev.scratch.mit.edu is a backup site, and gamma.dev.scratch.mit.edu is the backup gamma site. There was once a message saying to use the dev server instead, so that would make sense.

I hear dev means developer.

It states you need authorization, so the Scratch team most likely blocked the server with a password lock type of thing.

Re: What is gamma.scratch.mit.edu ??
That was an old site... and so is this thread. This thread can be closed now.
