Hello Scratchers! First of all, we'd ask that you please refrain from impersonating any of our members. This is to prevent confusing messages from being sent out using our name. Second, thank you all for waiting and allowing us to make some corrections to our Scratch servers. They have been successfully fixed and Scratch is back up again. Scratch on!
