The lame theory, I don't quite understand how that will work... do you mean people will quit because it is getting more lame? I dunno. Laziness is fairly possible, I guess. But I reckon Scratch will go on for a long time yet, considering how much Scratch has grown in the last year. It's too early to think these things, though.
so, you think the Donations theory is the most plausible?
Yes, I do. 
I might return for a little while.

Re: How Scratch will end
It'll end on Tuesday when I hack into the internet (what the heck?) and shut down Scratch.

Re: How Scratch will end
Well,Scratch isn't the ONLY animation and game creating software out there. It's not like everyone in the WORLD is on scratch, because their not. Also that, I think scratch will go on for another 10 or 12 years.

FACT: I know of at least 30+ schools in the area i live in that use Scratch.
There is probably a lot more.

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...]
What if people donate to scratch?
That would help keep it alive.
Now if it's possible to have every member donated a dollar every year, that would be like $700,000+ a year for Scratch.
How much would you need?

That doesn't answer the question. She said: "every member donated a dollar every year, that would be like $700,000+ a year for Scratch."
That doesn't answer how much they need.

Things are getting a bit tense, ne? Calm down, you two.
$700,000 dollars is a lot but I don't know if that is how much money the Scratch Team needs to keep Scratch going. The money to fund any research project, Scratch or otherwise, has a tendency to fluctuate over time - who knows? maybe in a few years, the money required will increase, maybe it will decrease.
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

Calm your horses.
Scratch won't end, cause its a freeware project, and he makers probably do something else as well.
The donations are to make sure they keep running.
That's my theory.
And also, stop flaming Calexby and TV.
Back in my day.... there were no laws that censored the internet... now, there are.... nah.

I asked a question, TV replied, I said that didn't answer the question. I never "raised my voice" so to speak. I wasn't flaming, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't accuse me of it.
