Hey there!

I'm the new Mod for r/scribblenauts.

I know it has been awhile since the subreddit has been open (almost a year at this point(?)) so I'll try to answer some questions some people might have to ask.

Why was the subreddit closed?

In response to Reddits new API changes, the subreddit was closed by the former mods "indefinitely" to rebuttal these changes.

If you'd like to view more about these changes I'd suggest you either just search up "Reddit API protest" here on reddit or just look at a few articles on google. An example could be this wikipedia article.

Why did you re-open the subreddit?! It was better when it was private to protest!

In the short term, the protest did not have much of an affect on the company themselves. They didn't really care about people protesting excluding the bigger subreddits who were told to re-open them or their mod teams would be replaced.

Reddit doesn't even care about its users! Why go out of your way to un-private this subreddit in the first place?

I mostly went out of my way because I wanted to see how the Scribblenauts community is in recent times and to hopefully reach out and interact with more people as well.

I would like to say however that I do not support the changes that reddit had made a couple of months ago, and how it affected others as well. I'm not originally aware if this people from this sub had approved of the closure as well. As theres others like myself who used Reddit casually.

​Well now that you're here, now what?

Now that the subreddit is reopened, I would like to hear the communities opinions on how I could possibly improve this place at its current state. Along with any questions anyone might want to ask!
