Petition to make the TBGs more noticeable

I think they should be more noticeable.
Most people don't even know they exist.
Come on, really.

Re: Petition to make the TBGs more noticeable

Well... I don't know how you would make them more noticeable. Maybe by having a link to them somewhere.

That would work, for some people. Other people that are new for Scratch might not go on the main forums as much.

Re: Petition to make the TBGs more noticeable

I agree. With the Archived Forums hidden, it's impossible for the average, uninformed user to find the link.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: Petition to make the TBGs more noticeable

There's already a link to the TBG forums in the sticky thread "Text-Based Games belong in their own forum, not in here". Maybe there's a way to make that thread more noticeable?

By putting its text in bold!  big_smile
By making extra copies under it!  big_smile
By changing its color to green!  big_smile

Re: Petition to make the TBGs more noticeable

This seems like it would fit best in the suggestions section.

What way do think would be easiest to make the TBG forums more noticeable?


I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!

Have the link on the top bar so that it says:

Re: Petition to make the TBGs more noticeable

Keep in mind if we show the TBGs on there, spammers will also have easy access, making it harder for us.

Re: Petition to make the TBGs more noticeable

I remember the scratch team used CSS a while ago to hide a section of the forums, so why not add a nice link there or at the top/bottom of the main forum pages?

Anyway, if someone uses the TBG a lot they will have them in their bookmarks. As for the ones that don't know, the link at the bottom is still there and they can click on it and see there's a different site.
