Scratch servers heads are in the clouds

I was trying to report a project that broke the Community Guidelines, but it never sent. It was about three hours of waiting before I gave up. Scratch servers should be fixed already!

Scratch servers tweakin

I tried using CTRL + S (keyboard shortcut to save on Scratch) and it kept giving me errors. I opened a new tab and logged onto Scratch and my profile on the top right isn't there. Plus, the "What's Happening" and "Scratch News" things that would greet me as I logged in were gone. Even weirder, all the featured projects, studios, remixes, and loved projects all had the title of "Project" with no thumbnail at all. Hopefully I'm not the only experiencing this issue.

I think I know why scratch is semi-down

So I can comment on people's profiles, but I can't share projects or comment on projects or studios. People keep saying it is because someone made a teacher profile and then made 200+ student accounts which caused the server to crash.

Project servers have been down for hours since 7 PM yesterday. It's 12 PM today. Can't save for the life of it. 450 block project, rewrite of my birthday counter, but nope. I could move to Turbowarp, but I would lose quite a few perks of Scratch Addons..
