Re: How Scratch will end

New theory:

Survival & New Members
Soon Scratch will only have new members left. However it will survive due to a special idea I adopted.

The most likely event is if Scratch runs out of money. 2/3 of Scratch getting banned? Seems a bit drastic to get rid of 503,298 Scratchers. 2012 won't happen, it's an emo belief that has gotten into the wrong hands (just my thoughts). 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 might return for a little while.

This topic is to tell you guys how scratch will end. if you have an idea, post it

first, you need to know what scratch needs to stay healthy. like a fire, scratch needs three things to keep it going. they are; Imagination, intelligence, and kindness. take any of these away and the balance is disturbed. if this happens, scratch will collapses.

Theory one

The argument
This theory says that, two very famous Scratchers will get in a big fight. Since they are famous, many people will follow them. The Scratch team will then, finally, be involved. They will ban an estimated 2/3 of all Scratchers. The remaining people will be dormant accounts and new scratchers

If it was that large, only the 2 would be banned, and probably not permantly either.

Theory  two

Laziness
This theory say that, quiting will be very popular in the future. As time goes on, more and more people will quit. Finally, no one will be on scratch.new generation scratchers will be the only ones left but of course, no one will be able to help them so they stay very primitive. smart scratchers might figure out what there ancestors found C. 5 years before them but that has only a .4% chance(the same chance that 5 of your projects will be on the front page at the same time)

Tutorials, ITopics, etc. could help members.

Theory three

2012

Stinky, wrong virus theory.

Theory four

lame projects
this theory says that, projects will get more lame and soon, there will be no more need for people to be on scratch.(see theory two)

But it doesn't mean people would actually quit, you said no more need.

Theory five

donations
this theory says that, scratch needs donations to stay alive. what if no one donated?scratch would be forgotten

Won't be forgotten, but donations start again.

Theory six

forever
this theory says that, scratch will live forever.it will not end.

Nothing lasts forever.

Theory seven

meanies!
trolls, hackers and bullies invade scratch.

Moderators, Scratch team and MIT students invade hackers.

these may be scary and might seem silly but one day, they might soon happen

Not too scary.
