IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT I used scratch for 5 years, I had 2 old accounts. I created my first account on September 2020. @NormanTheGamer is my main account made on April 2023. I had many moments using this website and it changed my life. But scratch has fallen off. I left on September 2024 but returned sometime on May 2025 and posted some projects from June to October 2025. I made many popular projects when I became famous. Roblox Clicker got 5.4m+ views, and Roblox Blade Ball got 41k+ loves and 37k+ favorites. I used to make animations but I went into game making, I made games about Minecraft and Roblox. Those games were on the front page and the explore page and they got millions of views, even 20k+ loves and favorites. I got over 20m+ total views, amd 300k+ total loves and favorites. I also made a ton of friends on this website. I liked to chat with people on scratch, including my scratch friends on their profiles. My fans were posting nice comments. I would also see many various projects created by other people on the explore page. This happened from 2021 to 2024. It was a fun memory. However, Scratch has changed and it’s not the way it is. Most of my friends, including famous scratchers have left scratch. They used to make projects but they eventually quit scratch. My most popular Geometry Dash games were also taken down on November 13, 2025, the games had 4m+ views, especially my recent wave game shared on June 5, 2025 which got 4m+ views, 25k+ loves, and 22k+ favorites in 5 months. Hundreds of Geometry Dash scratch games got copyright striked, including the most popular project on scratch with over 150m+ views. This permanently deleted a ton of people’s projects including mines, that had thousands of loves, and favorites that they earned, even deleting millions of views that they earned on their projects. The scratch front page doesn’t even have top loved or top remixed anymore. The explore page has been stuck with the same projects for 4 months, so it is nearly impossible for new projects and scratchers to get noticed by people. The only way people can get their projects noticed is by being featured. There are also the same types of projects that show up like platformers on scratch. It would be hard to find different types of games on the website. The same projects were on the trending explore page for 5 months so they got all the attention. The scratch community is full of toxic scratchers. When I used scratch for 5 years, some scratchers would insult me over a topic on scratch and I sometimes have to argue with them. Scratch is for kids 8 - 16 and kids that are over 11 years old can go through social pressure and start to bully others. I am older than them. It can be irritating to argue with a kid over something on scratch. Some people also posted very terrible content and put it in their projects or commented it. Several kids have at least seen it and it can hurt them badly. Scratch has also changed my life where I spend most of my time on my computer just to go on scratch instead of doing things outside of scratch like hang out with my irl friends or go outside and touch grass. I really hope the scratch team is able to fix this website. I can still respond to comments but I am not gonna post or be active. I will technically leave scratch.
