Care to elaborate on that?
The forums have hardly been active, and the amount of quality projects are lacking

Re: Scratch Is Dead.
I don't feel it's really so dead. 
Maybe it's kinda dying though.

Hey hey hey, less projects for yours to compete with: better chance of front page xD
I fall: It's a tragedy. You fall: It's comedy.

What I'm afraid of is Scratch being taken down by MIT.

Welp, Scratch is free, that means MIT has invested into Scratch from it's own pocket - would they really abandon something they have spent hundreds of dollars on?

No, welp is an alternative to well that I seem to adore. Watch this: http://www.scratch.mit.edu/ext/youtube/?v=praFGD51ih8.
Who would sue them?

Oh, you mean sue for that.
Welp (yet again), you see - if you sell your game, say, about Pac-Man, for real money and you won't give Namco their share - it's criminal. Until you sell it, though, there is nothing bad going on.
