I think it should keep the same system, but install a project on the front page counter. And if within like 5 days if one user has more than 3 spots you kick all of them out and that user can't appear on the front page for at least a week. Or you could have like a time limit for the longest one project can stay on the frontpage. Like 4 days. Anyone like those ideas?

i kinda like that idea

We have made a couple of changes to the front page. The first is that self-remixes are not counted towards Top Remixes. The second, is that a project can only appear only once on the front page. This is a first step. We're still working on further changes.

So like if a project gets on top viewed, it can't be top loved?

Like after its been on the front page, it can't show up on the front page again after being taken off. Maybe, I think

great, i hope this problem gets addressed, another suggestion would be that a member of scratch cannot have two different projects on the front page at the same time.  that doesnt mean they wouldn't get on ever, it just means that they would have to wait a bit.

I beg of you to please put a limit of how many times a user can get on the front page. I know there is probably a similar post but, Its getting annoying. Im not trying to sound harsh but all I see is  MaskedStar,Maho, Warrior Cats, Anime, all day long for the past month. Im trying to search for a variety. I wish there was some way there could be limit. There are a lot of projects out there with variety and I know the users cant help that they get on the front page because its the community but its seems like they have taken over. I love the Featured Users part that what I look forward too know because I know there are no cats in there or the same type of project!

Yeah, I'm pretty sick of warrior cats.  I don't really care who BrambleThornStarPaw or FireLavaCatFaceHead is.  I'm also sick of manga.  Every time I look at the front page there's some project that's a badly drawn picture of some anime person's huge eyeballs that just has sappy music and 1 script.  Not only is it really lame, it's also not a very good example of programming.  So whoever decides what goes on the front page has strange taste.  My other proof of this is in the "most downloaded" category, there was an anime project that had about 28 downloads.  Then I remembered:  "Hey!  One of my projects has over 50 downloads!"  And I bet someone else has even more.  So, yeah, the front page has many problems.

Once again, the front page is determined on who has the most downloads in a certain time block. Or else the most downloaded project on scratch would always be there, same with loved and viewed. But yes I am sick of these projects. And no offense to Maskedstar or Kaotheroogancreator but I don't care if you have heartburn or some sickness that makes your head hurt! You don't have to make a project about it!!! And the worse part is, the heartburn project got TOP LOVED!!!!!!! What is wrong with people these days?

I had to get my appendix removed in november VERY PAINFUL!!!! But I didn't make some stupid project with horrid drawings and only one script saying that if ppl cared to love it. OF COURSE PEOPLE CARE!!!!! I might have only told ONE person on scratch about it but that was just a comment. I agree with EVERYONE. I am getting REALLY sick of cats, and anime, and worrior cats, and anime cats, and anime worrior cats! it is SICKENING!! At least there is not as much anymore-but there still is some.

I think this is a good idea, but there is one problem; suppose someone gets their eleventh or so project on the front page. Now suppose they put another project on that is just plain incredible. If this were just activated before the project was on, what if the project would have hit the Top Loved or something other than that? It misses out on what it deserves. Shame.

Ah, I see. I wasn't the first person with this idea after all! I knew I couldn't be.

Yeah, the latest frontpage projects are all the same by the same users. I am kinda sick of cats and anime now. There haven't been any neat programs for a while. And there is no way any user should have 3 spots for the same project because it kills the purpose of the different sections.

I heard that andres is going to address this problem soon so it should be ok.

I'm tired of MaskedStar (no offence PLZ) and others. Please add a limit that if a user gets a certain number of projects on the front page, they won't get anymore on there for a certain period of time.

Not bad idea, bosox397. I quite like the idea about it picking random projects from the thirty different ones. Perhaps people could also make it so the ones that got more views should show up more often? Who knows...

I agree 100% anime cats are boring and weird, but this is not a way to treat the problem! This is just covering it up. I urge you not to do this! users like the projects so why SHOULDN'T they be on the frontpage? there are just trends, once, long ago in a distant past of 2007 and 2008 there were projects with programming (now thats a thought) then doody, then moahashely and maskedstar, and now maskedstar and longpatrol. This is just another long phase! It may be easy to impose restrictions, but if you want to do it the RIGHT way, it may be harder

Don't take out Doody, then Scratch would be boring.

what? whats exciting about a poorly drawn hamster

I agree. Its not fair, because all thats on there is the stuff that FAMOUS people on scratch make, and we are all left in the dust. XP

I am so glad that the problem has been fixed!!!!!

tottaly agreed. no offense to MyRedNeptune, but hes been on the front page soo many times. im not saying his games or drawings are bad, hes pretty good at both of the. but ive nevr been on thefront page except for newest projects.

She - She's a she xD

By the way, it has been a very long time since she was on the frontpage, she deserves it 

If you want to see your projects on the frontpage (beware, +- 40 messages a day sometimes xD ) try to get there! Create a nice game, advertise it in the show and tell forum and into your sig, add it to the fitting galleries, add correct tags. Post nice replies to other projects and on the forums, more and more people will click your username and watch your project! Not just for one project, all of them 

One time I had a featured project that soon led another project (of mine of course!) To get top viewed then top downloaded. At one point in my week of fame, I got 162 new messages
