And…?
I don’t think that’s a weighty enough reason to reject something to further organize the forums.

Besides I think everything in TiMaC isn’t official Scratch.

Yeah, it’s for stuff outside of scratch
Look, if you didn’t know, the SDS has a private forum of it’s own, and because it’s a sort of official thing
Meanwhile here, the SWC is just something scratchers thought up, and it’s own forum would be a bit too unnecessary
cheddargirl also noticed this stuff, and she didn’t take any action, so it’s alright for normal writing stuff (except kit applications, that’s been approved to be moved into Collaborations), since, well, Things I’m Making and Creating, includes writing.

And a “Writing” forum is too specific, it’s like splitting the TIMAC into “Music i make”, “Art i make”, etc.
just because it’s been around a lot, doesn’t mean it has to has it’s own thing. And tbh, why don’t they do it in a project or smth, the forums were never really meant for these.

First, it is pretty insensitive when you say “why don’t they just do a project or something,” and shows your alienation to the topic.

If you’ve ever seen someone’s writing in a project, usually it is pretty time-consuming to make, hard to edit, and to be honest doesn’t look that great. On the other hand, forums are a far more convenient location, because of the ability to format text and the easy navigation, in addition to having all the previously mentioned features that projects lack.

Just because the SDS is official doesn’t mean the ST won’t allow another forum to be made for writers.
The suggestion to make a new forum for writers has nothing to do with how long SWC has been around, except that it has annoyed other forum users for quite some time, leading them to make the suggestion in the first place.

Also, if the ST makes a new forum for writers, it does not oblige them to make other sections for art or for music, especially when those topics are not as often showcased as writing.

Finally, you must understand that the members of SWC, while supporting this idea, are not the ones asking for it. The other forum users are, for the sake of further organization and declutterring of the forums. Most SWCers don’t navigate to their topics using the main forum, they simply have a link somewhere, so they couldn’t care less where exactly their topic is located.
