random scratch fact:

according to the api the account named Scratch was registered in 2016. - that doesn't make sense! the scratch website has been around since 2007, so how was the username only taken in 2016?

the answer:

it wasn't! this guy (https://scratch.mit.edu/users/SCRATCH-saved/) already had the username "SCRATCH", but in 2016 the scratch team decided to change their name to SCRATCH-saved, freeing up the name for themselves. oddly enough, the new account named Scratch is actually deleted. you can't visit the profile.
