My best guess is that you need to post a few more projects on this account, since you only have 2 now. 

true- but I was under the impression that forum stuff carried a tad more weight because it really only affects the forums...

I'm not entirely sure, to be honest. I know that uploading projects and commenting carries some weight, but I don't know how important it is.

I have noticed that it is possible for a user to become a Scratcher with only a handful of posts (like around 20, give or take). Although I have no idea how the status change is determined, based on the how some accounts change status so quickly, I would have to say that main site activity holds more weight.

My guess for forum activity carrying more weight is because commercial spammers and trolls are less likely to use the main site than normal users.

So it really could be either?    Maybe I'll post the first part to a new story then! 

Well, I said it really depends on the situation. But I still suspect that main site activity holds more weight in things like this.

If it helps, I've noticed that those who are able to earn Scratcher status in a very short amount of time with little forum posts have been using the main site more often than the forums (they have previously uploaded a lot of projects, for example); on the opposite spectrum, I've noticed that those who have posted little stuff on the main site and post a lot in the forums, it takes much, much longer for the status change to take effect. You'll probably want to be more active on the main site since you have a fairly active forum account already.

I was under the impression that secondary accounts cannot reach Scratcher status.

EDIT:  Evidently not, as this account is a full Scratcher.  I guess you should just be a bit more active on that account.

Guess so   

Thanks for clearing this up for me cheddargirl and everyone
