Recently, I have been unleashing my fury on some people... Some of them deserved the fury, others not...

I am just a little ticked off at the front page... The only good things right now are curated and featured (Nikkiperson2's project is funny to  ). I know I have made some bad projects too, but the front pagers these days are mainly just making bad quality, un-funny, and short animations (My opinion). Example... There is a project on teh front page right now With a circle. some straight lines, and a mouth and eyes. It is colored white, with the mouth being red.  Even I, one of the worst artists ever could draw that... It get's worse. In the background is another circle, with blue for water, and some green blobs for land. Around it, are some Explosions (acquired from the internet). I just don't understand what people in see in this...

And MOST of the users take like a minute to make a project, upload it, and automatically make the front page. I usually Constructively criticize the project, but then the maker, and his wanna-be-famous minions blatantly right some comment in all caps that goes something like.... "YOU JERKFACE! YOUR JUST JEALOUS! YOU ARE SO MEAN, AND YOU SHOULD GO DIE!". And stuff like that... Some peoples immaturity surprises me. The Scratch team may tell me that Everyone has different levels of skill, and that is true. But MOST people constantly on the front page have no effort to improve, instead they make the same types of projects over, and over, and over again. And people support them, by loving it etc. I really think all of Scratch should go find some unknown good projects, and promote them.

My last point is that you may find me to be a hypocrite, as I have had some bad projects on the front page... But I have changed, and I also think I have had more good than bad on the page. Also, take intro consideration that I have only been here for a year, and my Scratch skills are still developing.

Some people also just generally annoy me, which is also why my wrath has recently been upon them...

No need apologizing. I'm much more angry.

Once I asked why Masked always puts that emo cat with her username inside her projects.

Why do you always put your username in projects? Are you expecting us to remix this?

And now, when sanity doesn't kick in...

Someone, I forget exactly what this said wrote:

OMG! SHE CAN  DO WAT SHE WANTS MEANIE! UR JUST JEALOUS!!!!!!!

Oh my. Scratch is not for you to get stupid publicity, people.

I guess you COULD say that cat is pretty emo! But if you the Warriors series, you'll understand that her username is based off of the kind of names in the book. 

Well, the picture was, and it seemed to block her art.

MaskedStar(Claw whatever, referring to cat) is emo, because is based off her. To me - Masked belongs WAYY more on DA, and is an overly overreactor. You got chrons, OK don't have to say it all the time! Uhhh...I got more examples, but kind of got a brain fart. O.O

Um, yeah. I think this is all we need to know about Masked.

I JUST noticed the Jolteon in your sig, did you end up using my sprites?

Look at top remixed. It's all "add yourself" stuff. Now, click the view more button. For the whole list down to 2 remixes or 3 it is ALL contests and "Add Yourself" Projects. It's sickening. That's why I made that platformer base. That's why I want people to remix. 

I'd post a screenie of the *terrifying* Top Remixed section but I can't be bothered.

Agreed!

Ugh-the front page. The only completely stupid, and crazy, page on the Scratch website. Like the recent "I QUIT" project that made the front page that was made by an unknown user. The almost not-true story of my life on Scratch

If I were on the Scratch Team, I would review everything on the frontpage and delete any "I quit" projects.

And if I were on the Scratch Team, I would also make a new frontpage section called "Projects that have people have worked hard on". It would replace Top Remixed.

But how would you know they worked on it hard?

He meant, things that look like they took effort, skill, and had overall quality.

I know I know...i was just messing with him 

It's a good idea. The front page now makes me furious these days. The person with the "I Quit" thing later made a project called "3RD TOP VIEWED!" Arrrrrrrgh!

and who cares what gets front paged anymore? bad stuff is always going to get on there. stop thinking about the bad stuff that gets on there, and start thinking about the awesome stuff that does 

I will have to disagree with the mattlicious stuff...

I will have to disagree with that sentence...

Wow, a lot of people don't really care about the front page
