Re: The Unofficial History of Scratch

Thanks for all the compliments, guys!

[Unless you all were being sarcastic 0_0]

Anyway, I need inspiration for Part 3. Maybe I could zoom in on the TBG Forums' Operation Cleanup?

Re: The Unofficial History of Scratch

Forum Fighters and Scratchyscratch(the latter is pretty controversial;I'll have to think about it) will probably be in Part 4, if I ever get around to writing.

Nice suggestion agscratcher, Part 3 will be about that. I'll just be a moment... and then I'll start writing  smile

Someone didn't read my rage rant.

Also, if I decide not to add in scratchyscratch, I may add in something about people declaring they quit, and then come back crying and say,"I'LL COME BACK IF YOU GIVE ME 5 LOVE ITS".

Re: The Unofficial History of Scratch

Part 3 is here! This one is for agscratcher, since he suggested the topic.  tongue
***
Trolling is an art, except on Scratch. Then it's futile.-ohmygawd

  Helltank glanced through the Scratch Newsletter. Quickly, he flipped through to the "Issues" section. He'd always liked that section. Experts would bring up pressing matters, and ordinary citizens would get a chance to respond, through the Forum.

  Among articles on "Allowing Politics" and "Remove 60 Second Rule", he spotted an interesting one. It was entitled,"The Fall of The Front Page:Then and Now". Helltank sank back into his armchair and started to read.

  The Fall of the Front Page
  Is the Front Page, which is arguably the most sought after section of Scratch, failing to perform up to expectations? Our expert, agscratcher, has a strong opinion about it. "If you compare the front page now with the one in 2008, you'll find an obvious difference," he claims. "The front page back then was so much better."

  Indeed, MODs have also noticed a marked difference in the quality of projects submitted. In a famous example, it has been said that "Nowadays, a spinning cat will get you front paged". Why is this so?

  Some say that it's because of the drop in good project makers. "Ever since RHY perished by Banhammer, everyone else started to quit as well. Now, only newbies are left," says one Scratcher, who wishes to remain anonymous.
 
  Another group thinks that it's because nobody can appreciate a good game nowadays. In an unmarked letter to this newsletter, "Mr.X" said that "Almost anything will get front paged nowadays. Random coloring contests, a short animation of a stickman making a joke-they all get acclaimed as 'great and wonderful'".

  It is generally agreed that most deeply affected is the "Most Remixed" section. Back in 2008, projects in that section were mostly games in which the creator challenges players to remix his project and make a bonus level for that game. Now, however, the 3 top remixed projects are-A kitty coloring contest, A fill in the blank project, and a petition to bring an anthro(half human, half animal) 'cute' female fox back.

  Cheddargirl, a veteran mod, wants Scratchers to lead by example. She feels that if Scratchers start to make good projects, soon the whole community will start following their example.

----
  Helltank put the newspaper on the table beside him and thought about what he had just read. He hadn't really noticed it, but the front page had been dropping in quality... of course, he was mostly on the forums.

  He silently applauded all the Scratchers who stated their opinion on what he felt was an urgent matter. Whipping out a pen and a piece of paper from nowhere, helltank started to write a letter.

Dear Scratch Newsletter,
My name is helltank, and I noticed your article in the 'Issues' section about the dramatic decrease in project quality on the front page. I was just wondering, could it be because...


  Helltank finished penning his letter, and walked briskly to the mailbox. He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and pushed the letter in.

All of that's awesome. You should make one about the TBG being closed and reopened.

Yeah, but it looked like it was going to close. It was just decided to reopen it in a different forum.

And then all the jerks of namco lost money, and got sentenced to death by banhammer for eternity, for they were too idiotic and stupid to remember the peace treaty of Fair Use. R.I.P. Namco. Really.Idiotic.People. Rest.In.Pieces.

Brotip-That's why it was posted on the forums.

By the way, guys, I'm much too lazy to make more, but I'll try(no guarantees). Unlike those n00bs, I'm not going to say "I'll make moar if i get 5 love its". It's based on luck, really.

To all the people with long memories:Does this remind you of Scratch Wars? It does for me.
