If you had to PAY for Scratch...
...how much would you be willing to pay?
I'd pay about £10 for the program and £5 for a yearly subscription to the forums 
How much would you pay to use the forums or the program?
£10?
£30?
£250,000,000?
Discuss whether you would leave or not and how much you would pay for Scratch. I hope I'm not giving the ST ideas!

Because I really don't like open-source software that turns into a pay-for product

True, I'd be a bit doubtful on whether to stay or go, just because its unfair.

Re: If you had to PAY for Scratch...
I'd have pirated it instead ;D
Seriously though about $10 would've been fine for something like this.

Lol
I agree, I'd not pay more than about £20 for the forum and programs, so yeah.

Re: If you had to PAY for Scratch...
Practically nowhere has paid forums.
but 10-15 for the program.
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

I know not many places make you pay for forums, but I mean if you HAD to...

If Scratch was a thing you had to pay for I'd consider it as 'too dodgy'.

yes for the program, but paying for forums is just stupid.
How much would you pay?

I guessed you'd say that.
One of the best programmers out there would just forget about Scratch.

Even though you're so famous?! You're crazy
Naw, I guess you'd move on to Flash and be the next Bill Gates.
@PW- I might too, unles it was really cheap.
And I don't think I'd pay for the forums - I'm not famous here or anything, I'd have no reason to stay (except to waste time).

I wouldn't pay! I don't have much money LOL!
BTW, if Rhy did flash he wouldn't become the next bill gates. I know what you were thinking though...

I know, it's surprising (no offense). I'd maybe pay if things weren'tso strict around here. I know it's for our own good but I'd love to argue more here (and not just with Jack ).
@PF- I know, I was just thinking RHY could be really successful (I was gonna put 'special' but it sounded dodgy) and I'm not wasting my money. I'm saving up for a flight to Dublin, a room at Premier Inn, some food and some tickets. Don't ask.
