WHY is noone looking at good projects?
<when green flag clicked>
<say[ There are very much Scratchers that make SUPER games, but they have 10-30 views. I don't mean "LOOK AT MY SUPER PROJECTS!!!" but i mean about nice projects of other Scratchers. Noone is looking at them. I don't make good games, but look at few of my games has: 9 comments (7 comment are something like this "COOL!" or "Very nice game!") but only 12 views and 2 love-it's 
(link http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/abdabef/800272 ) other game: 19 views, 4 love-it's, 6 comments saying "nice game" (link http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/abdabef/822330 ). 20 views, it's very good for me, but I had 6 projects - 0 views. Please tell me what to do to have more views. Thanks for reading.
<stop all>

I barely check the front page now 
Scratch has always had good, unnoticed Scratchers, though.

Re: WHY is noone looking at good projects?
You should have seen when Doody was front page ^_^ (no offense doody)!
Anyway,
Scratch is becoming way too beginner friendly.
Too much encouragement for a very basic thing, like a simple add to list only project can get front page.
Featured projects is no longer helpful.
Nobody is getting what they deserve.
Ok that was a weird way to talk ^_^"!
I think one problem is that people are forgetting about the scratchers that have been a member for a long time, but never got a chance to shine. By the time they have great projects, nobody cares anymore, and they look at some new person's platformer with 5 second art.

Re: WHY is noone looking at good projects?
SO basically it's an add to look at your projects, No one started out with views, and since you are new, it's understandable you don't have a lot views. I would say, keep working on scratch, advertise on the forums and don't get too depressed, I was in your same position a while back.

If your new to scratch you don't instantly become popular. My only suggestion is to advertise in the forums and become friendly with everyone.

I'm blaming the rest of the community here. They viewed the project. It's not like you got 1000 computers and got them all to view the same project (OR DID YOU??? jk).
But we all know that you had at least some projects that didn't deserve front page when they got it.
