Anyone Care About Me!?
I notice almost all of my scratch projects get under ten views. I'm thinking of quiting scratch. Does anyone even follow my projects? My projects are boring. What could make them better? How can I get better graphics.

Try making a project for the Scratch Design Studio.
When I did "Awesome Blocks" for the Loudness Lollapalooza design studio, it became my most viewed and commented project.

And most of my top viewed projects are ones in SDS galleries.

Try doing the SDS. See if any curators will curate your projects 
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello!

Yeah, I know. I wasn't really thinking of quitting, I was just thinking of taking a break, and trying another programming language. Also, you have good graphics, how do you get them? Do you draw them by hand?

No no no If you saw me draw by hand, it would be a complete mess. I have Illustrator.

The problem might be that I and others have never heard of you. If you fix that then more people will know you and you would get more views
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Re: Anyone Care About Me!?
You say you want to quit because you get no views... but how will quiting fix that?
If you quit, anything you receive will go completely unnoticed.

Actually, I support this. No, I'm not trying to be mean, just realistic. If you want to have a career as a programmer you won't make any money using scratch. The various BASIC programming languages are easy, but less powerful than the more complex types of C/C++.
Flash is an easy way to get programs for online viewing, as is Java, which is good for cross-platform support.
Learning another programming language doesn't mean that you need to abandon scratch, though. We have a helpful and friendly community to help you with code problems.

Re: Anyone Care About Me!?
I found that useing tags is very helpful. When I first started I only had maybe 8 views per project, and now I have over 300 views on one project! It takes time too. Be patient, hundreds of views don't come overnight for most Scratchers(except for the lucky ones ).
Also, try to have a project theme, that way people know what to expect. That way if they ever want to see something, and that something happens to be your theme, they'll know where to look or ask where else they can find it.

I did the collab challenge and got my first front page.
That's one way to get on the home page...

Don't quit JUST because you haven't got much views.
Those people try to save themselves one last time by staying if they get enough loveits.
