btw mariocrafter told me to tell you that they said hi
hi back 
(even though they commented on this post lol)
mariocrafter here, was just told about this site's existence. to clear it up, the people who followed griffpatch before me were never deleted or unfollowed; I’ve said before that I added him as a “friend” during the scratch 2.0 beta on the 1.4 site when those were separate, and I guess when the databases merged something messed up along the way lol
ah, i see! it’s been a while since i had that conversation with you, so i must have forgotten. thank you for clarifying!
@cheesewhisk3rs (pinging you since i thought you’d find this interesting)
No way it's the dude from the post
The first follower of @griffpatch
Woah hi :0
Don’t forget everyone who says “stop saying first follower of griffpatch” as well (just as annoying)
sorry for the incoming wall of words, but this reminds me, i’ve actually talked with mariocrafter on their profile a couple of times, and they seem nice enough.
they said they got banned from scratch during the 1.x days, and didn’t log in for a long time. when they finally did a couple of years ago, they were initially really confused as to why they had so many messages. they said that they aren’t actually the first follower of griffpatch, and there were a bunch of accounts before them that had either unfollowed or deleted their accounts.
when i asked them why they don’t acknowledge the griffpatch thing in their profile bio to combat all the comments, they said that they don’t acknowledge it in their bio because they don’t want to sound vain about it, which is something i respect.
Oh that’s some interesting scratch lore (also no need to worry about it being a text wall this is the sort of stuff I love to read)
glad you found it interesting!
