Scratch... I didn't think you could EVER stoop this low but... JESUS Having AI Train off our work with NO OPTING OUT? along with Fair use possibly no longer being a thing on here anymore? Locking other people out because they're not 18+? (DESPITE BEING A SITE FOR AGES 8-16) possible PAYWALLS for features? Yeah no. I think I'm officially retiring from scratch soon. I don't want to be part of a site that uses my work for some garbage AI training without an option to opt out thank you very much... It'll be VERY unlikely I'll ever come back. (Even if I do one day on the off chance they reverse these changes. I'll probably be not as active.) this site betrayed my trust and I've lost all respect for it. "Where can I find you outside of Scratch after this?" Unfortunately I don't have anything else yet. I have a Switch tho. (Friend Code is in the project if anyone's interested) I'll probably will migrate to NG and AO3 some day tho. (I'll post something related to either Bob, Kirey, or My Minikins once I do so people can know it's me since I might use a different name.) "What about X project?" I'll see what I can possibly salvage and adapt to said places but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to scrap most of the stuff I had planned. (Some projects I'm most likely to carry over My series for the Minikins, My own mega collab (Which will probably just be an animated series now. Maybe transfer it to a comic) and maybe try to see if we can migrate Arena (And maybe some of it's timelines) to NG if possible. and if Crash / That-One-Mega-Man is ok with that.) "Will my projects stay?" I'm most likely going to delete all of them. I'll probably try to find a way to personally archive some of them. but yeah they're all likely gonna be nuked. Gonna be honest. This really hurts... I had a lot of passion for scratch this year. only for my motivation to be completely STOMPED because of this stupid pro AI TOS change. Thanks Scratch... To most of my followers. Thank you. You've made my time on here really special. And even if my time on here ended on a really unfortunate note. I will forever cherish the time I spent here. (Yes... Even my 2019-early 2020 days.) Either way... Thank you for all the memories.
