Hey gang, so… I think it’s time for me to leave Scratch, permanently. I’m at the point in my life where I’m starting to get older, and I need to start focusing on myself and my life much more than I used to. Scratch takes up enough of my time, and running or being a part of the various communities I’m in is a massive time suck, one that I’m finally ready to leave behind. Similarly, Scratch has been a major source of many of the mental health issues I have been experiencing for some years now, and it’s not the amazing community I once knew. This isn’t meant to be taken personally, and it doesn't apply to a lot of people, but it’s what it’s like for me now. Back then, Scratch was a safe place to express myself and interact with friends. Now, Scratch is full of thieves, unkindness, and toxicity, not to mention the Scratch Team constantly breathing down your neck and immaturity becoming more and more of a struggle to deal with. It isn’t a platform of expression anymore, but one of Followers, Views, and Popularity. It’s not even a place where I talk to the people I care about anymore. I can do that without Scratch. Scratch helped me become who I am, but it’s time for me to leave it behind. I’m leaving everything; TOTC, Atlas (Eagle, I’m sincerely so sorry, I wish I could have…), all of it. I thank you all, everyone who’s helped me and been a friend of mine and who’s walked with me on this amazing journey called life. For those of you who I don’t know outside of Scratch… Goodbye, and good luck. Love you all. Zomboss1_1 out.
Eagle, all can be left unsaid, you already know. Red, for being just a silly guy, an absolute goober. Sherman, may you be happy wherever you are. Username, keep up the good work, I have always admired your art. Infinity, you were always a fun guy to talk to, and always had interesting conversation. Arceus, for just being a chill guy. Lansen, your just a cool, creative, skilled guy. Justin, for being an absolute goober, don't let DU blast apart again. Everyone else who I missed, thanks for everything. 07
