Eng:Show and Tell (forum)

The Show and Tell forum is a forum in the Scratch Forums where Scratchers can advertise their projects and studios to others. The forum is also a place to house events such as contests, along with guides to getting more views and such.

What the Forum Contains
Even though the forum was made for advertising projects and studios, not all the topics do so.

The topics usually fall under these areas:

Advertisements
The advertisements are nice and simple they normally consist of a brief description of the object, possibly a picture, and a link to the object. Projects are the main objects advertised, but studios are advertised also occasionally there are advertisements for other Scratch-related subjects as well. Advertisements for objects that have no relevance to Scratch are usually closed; the forum is only for Scratch-related content.

There are so many advertisements posted that many only get a few posts most of the advertisements are quickly swept down through the forum's pages.

Sometimes though, there are more fancy threads. The Scratch Cat's Hideout is one of the largest advertisement threads on the Scratch Forums, in Show and Tell. It was originally created by Borrego6165; but he later gave it to the user XenoK on April 29, 2012, to make some finer adjustments and renovations of the advert thread (which is on a separate page). XenoK gave The Scratch Cat's Hideout to coolhogs on June 17, 2012. It was continued in Scratch 2.0 by Borrego6165.

Guides
Many Scratchers dream to become famous there are many guides written that contain tips to get more views and such. There are also other guides for things such as writing a better advertisement.

Many guides can be found in the ITopic index.

Activity
Show and Tell used to be the most active forum on Scratch 1.4, but no longer on Scratch 2.0.

The forum is still very active, with numerous advertisements posted each day and the most forum topics. Many do not receive any replies, however.
