	On November 18, 2021, an anonymous user on 4chan's /b/ announced that they hacked into a large Scratch account that hosted a popular version of Flappy Bird.<ref>thebarchive.com/b/thread/866946078 <font color=red>contains shocking content!</font></ref> This user specifically attempted to try and get this onto the news by emailing this to multiple news stations with the claim that this game always had shocking content in it. OP called this “Operation McNutt.”
	~~[[File:opbloomberg.png\|thumb\|An Email OP sent to Bloomberg.]]~~

	Armus ~~also added a Discord tag~~, "~~Armus#1111 if you have any technical issues~~," to the ~~bottom~~ of the ~~page, possibly to get people's reactions~~.

OP called this "Operation McNutt".

	~~Later that night, however, Scratch removed the game due~~ to ~~the footage of Ronnie~~		[[File:opbloomberg.png\|thumb\|An email OP sent to [[Wikipedia:Bloomberg News\|Bloomberg News]].]]

	===Creator response===		A [[Wikipedia:Discord\|Discord]] tag was also added the bottom of the page, ''Armus#1111'', possibly to also receive players' reactions.

			The night following the incident, the project was eventually removed by Scratch's administrators.
