So, if you've been in the Scratch 1.2 Beta before, you've probably heard of this

comment [I'm an old comment block from Scratch 1.2 Beta!] :: grey

And it's been removed, and I want it to come back. Search up this block if you don't believe this existed.

Why should it come back, and what difference does this bring from the current comment block?

it's just a version of the comment but can be attached between blocks in scripts

There was an error :( Try again?

but… comments are still in Scratch…

//hey there! I'm a comment! I'm still in Scratch! I'm not a block... but that shouldn't matter!

//yo this is a comment


/ / [this is a comment in the form of a block] ::custom // just make an empty custom block definition

say [comment example #3] for (0) secs

different ways to do comments in scratch

I think that they removed this for a reason (that reason being that people were confused and thought it was supposed to do something), but I do still personally think that the idea of a comment which takes up physical block space is intriguing.

…In a completely different format with none of the advantages of the old one , yes. What exactly is your definition of “shouldn't matter”? If it didn't matter, they wouldn't have made this suggestion in the first place.

Sorry - it never made it past the beta because it was confusing to beginners. They felt that all blocks in a stack of blocks should do something - and comments don't do anything. So we changed direction and went with comments that can be attached to stacks - but clearly are not part of it.
