Probably a dumb question, but do you try and scrape the hops off the side of the boiling pot after they have stuck to the sides or just leave them alone

I scrape them back into the boiling wort.
I leave them alone.

im tempted to say i leave them alone to keep this nice pattern going but i too scrape them and put them back in the wort. i dont think it makes a huge difference either way i just do it cuz i get bored sometimes and its kinda fun to get it all. especially on full 6-7 gallon boils with a lot of hop additions.
also its a little OCDish moment to make sure i get the most out of my hops.

Back in if they're wet, but not if they are dried out or crusty.

Agree, they will throw off the flavor.

i scrape them off after i am done and cleaning up. a little bar keepers friend does an amazing job on a stainless pot.

I've noticed in the last couple of batches I've brewed that the hops have not stuck to the side of the pot. I think I'm just stirring a little more after the addition than I used to. Its weird though, nothing on the side during a 2ipa. not worried.
