Quitting

Quitting is the term used to describe when a Scratcher attempts to leave the site. Most of the times, the person will never use the Scratch website again. However, certain Scratchers come back after quitting. This is usually because of an urge to create projects and socialize with other Scratchers again.

There are many ways in how Scratchers quit.

Public Quitting
Some Scratchers announce their quitting via an Project or on the Forums.

Secretive Quitting
Many Scratchers usually quit without announcing it, or only tell a few close friends. However, some of these "Secret Quitters" actually come back to the site later on.

Quitting for Publicity
(See Publicity stunt.)

Quitting just for the sake of publicity, bathing in the attention and fame, and then coming back a day later. This is frowned upon by many users.
