Re: How Scratch will end
I have a theory.
Scratch is a project that largely requires monetary donations and grants to keep running, right? I think that, if Scratch will end, it will be because no one wants to continue the project or there's no funding for it anymore.
[Kind of a fearful possibility considering the way the economy is right now...

Exactly. Lack of funding will be the end.
Although a few might just keep using it.
But considering the creators are MIT students, and that's probably a lot of their funding, I'm not terribly worried.

That would help keep it alive. We'd need quite a bit of it though to keep it going. ^^
Now if it's possible to have every member donated a dollar every year, that would be like $700,000+ a year for Scratch.

Re: How Scratch will end
I estimated based of registration data that no one would be on scratch in about 20 years. Sometime last year the registations dropped. Programming that into my calculator showed that everyone would have left in 20 years and nobody will be registering around 2-4 years from now.
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.
