Remove top remixed

Well, let me explain why I think top remixed should be removed. Top remixed takes up a lot of space on the front page and most remixes are just things like ' add an egg to the nest' or 'add your character on a boat'. Allthough some remixes are intersting and efforted projects, they do not make the page as top remixed. There is nothing wrong with remixing but I firmly believe  that most 'add....' projects are only made
to be on the front page. Also often on top remixed are surveys and coloring contests. I have made a survey before and it made
top remixed. But what I did not realize was that people make surveys for studies and curiosity. Not for fame. So why does top remixed exist?  This speech might be a little confusing since I wrote it on my iPod. I will revise it later. Do you agree or disagree?

Re: Remove top remixed

I agree with this...

Or maybe there could be a "featured remix" section? Where the Scratch Team chooses a remix that they think is a god idea?

That's a pretty good idea! Featured remix would be great and be
filled with
pointless projects. It's not like removing top remixed will stop renixing but all thoughs pointless remixes will vanish

Pointless project ey?
What defines a pointless project?
Scratch is about being creative and learning, so in my head there is no such thing as a pointless project, everyone works on their own level.

To me that seems like a pretty creative project, and creativity is what the world needs.

I agree with you, I think the 'Top Remixed' should be removed, but the thing I reacted on was when your wrote pointless projects, and it seemed like you though that almost every remix chain is pointless.

Re: Remove top remixed

Ah yes, I would like Top Remixed ousted from the front page. I'm pretty sure the Scratch team saw good when they came up with it, since they support remixing, but I'm afraid it hasn't worked. What they saw then were people remixing great games into greater games. What we see now are projects saying "add yurself duin a dance" projects that have absolutely no value to anyone except those people who are desperate to get popular and make one of those projects to get front page.

Re: Remove top remixed

I agree. I really think its just unproductive. I'm not saying that we should like kill creativity or anything, but scratch wasn't made just for the paint program. Here's my overall opinion around people and scratch: People take too much advantage of the friendly website, and the scratch paint program. Really.

I do think art is a big part of scratch. I just think it should be used in animations and games, not just by itself!

Re: Remove top remixed

Yes, mostly all projects on top remixed are like that. BUT, if you look at the front page right now, you will see that two top remixed projects are coloring contests. SOME people, like me, actually like these.

I agree! This could give cool remix ideas more remixes. Everyone knows about the Add a ___ to the ___ projects, but the really cool and original remix projects sometimes don't even get remixed! Please add me to the support list.

Re: Remove top remixed

I strongly agree. We need some way that only interesting, productive top remixed projects are shown (to showcase things like building on one's game engine etc)
