hi. so lately my interest in scratch has gone wayyy down like fr to the bottom of the ocean. ive been focusing more on other websites like th and ill definitely be more active there!!! so i can get my words out clearer, i do not want to use scratch anymore. but since some of my friends use scratch and thats the only platform they mainly use to communicate w/ me, ill only be staying to really speak to my friends. other than that, i think i will not be using scratch to post things. tldr; im leaving but only staying to communicate here are some reasons i dont want to associate myself with scratch anymore. 1. scratch is for kids. its a kids website, meaning there are a lot of annoying people on here. i liked scratch when i was younger (when i say younger i mean 1.7 years ago) back in 2020, and im not going to say necessarily that ive "grown" because its only been a year, but ive definitely matured because wow man i was a cringy person back then jeez. 2. i dont want to associate myself with how i was. when i first joined scratch i was a ... idrk how to describe it but cringy ig?? i was cringy. stupid!! i was stupid. i mean i still am stupid but way more stupid back then. and so please if anyone looks back on my past projects please dont like them. dont draw any attention to them. im not like how i was back then, so please dont try to associate me with how i was. 3. community guidelines. theyre stupid. i do not like how anyone can just use anyones art whenever!! its annoying!! so yeah. most of the scratch community is great but boy i do not like art thieves. and i used to be one too, yes, but like i said, i do not do that anymore. thats past me, and i and trying to do way better. 4. other passions. hosting maps and stuff like that is not what i want to be doing anymore. maybe in the future, but not on scratch. i wanna start working on big animations and animatics on yt and writing fanfiction, not to mention ive been practicing drawing horror art and want to branch out to that genre, which scratch does not like. im not gonna say im leaving for like mental health reasons, because scratch hasnt done anything to affect me, but i have so many other passions that i cannot pursue on scratch and my interest has gone way down in using this site. scratch has been great, but i wanna move on completely. basically, u could say im leaving, but only staying to communicate with friends, not to post anything. so yeah. bye
