When I Joined Scratch...

Mods: if this is a TBG, sorry.

Post what it was like when you joined. So much the same, yet so different.

Mine:
• JeanTheFox and floatingmagictree were still active
• The only moderators I ever saw were cheddargirl and Wolfie1996

That's basically how I was, except there weren't list blocks back then.

Re: When I Joined Scratch...

- I didn't know how to post a topic or reply XD
- I thought Scratch was just a blog site
- I didn't know how to use speech bubbles  big_smile
- I thought other users were either 3 year olds or old dudes.

It's 1337 (leet)
It's some silly thing people like to do
The number 1337 signifies leet or elite
back on topic fellas  tongue

It's 1337speak for "leet", as in "elite."

-I probably didn't know about the forums either.
-What I could do in one script now probably took my 4 scripts then, 3 of which were forever loops.
-I had no idea what broadcast blocks did, and I didn't know about lists.
-I viewed and commented on projects. (I really should start doing that again...)
-Once I did join the forums, I remember that coolstuff would somehow reply to nearly every topic in AAS, Suggestions and Troubleshooting within minutes.
-And yeah, I remember lots of people that aren't active anymore, like SRR and Jeanthefox.

That's what I did too... and I used lots of key pressed hat blocks that could all be put in one forever loop  tongue

Re: When I Joined Scratch...

When I first joined, there were only a handful of moderators, and the Miscellaneous forum didn't exist! Nor did Inspiration and More section of the forums. It was a simpler time...

There were also only a few people who used the website! Ahhh, those were the days.  smile

Re: When I Joined Scratch...

When I first joined Scratch, I actually didn't plan on staying - I just joined because my programming professor was using Scratch to teach us C++ and suggested for students to download programs from Scratch and look at them as a way to study code!  tongue

Let's see what else I can remember...
-> Jens was still a Scratch Team member
-> the curator slot didn't exist
-> the Inspiration and More forum was all just one forum, and the TBG forums was a forum section all on the main forum site.
-> I always wrote the word "Scratch" in all caps.
-> there were no front page restrictions, so people could have been on the front page more than once at a time
-> 1.3.1 was the current release

Re: When I Joined Scratch...

- I ignored the forums until a year or so later,
- I kept viewing the same projects,
- I didn't really upload much,
- There were no lists,
- Maki-Tak wasn't famous yet xD,
- People were more easily satisfied with projects (back then even basic scrolling was impressive, but now even the higher class scrolling is considered usual)

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.
