When can you consider yourself famous? Semi-famous?
I mean on Scratch.

According to Wikipedia, fame is a celebrity which is:
"A celebrity, also referred to as a celeb in popular culture, is a person who has a prominent profile and commands a great degree of public fascination and influence in day-to-day media. The term is synonymous with wealth (commonly denoted as a person with fame and fortune), implied with great popular appeal, prominence in a particular field, and is easily recognized by the general public."

Well you're president.

I meant on Scratch. Not in real life.

That's subjective--I'm sure everybody has their own definition.

Well, it's pretty much the same definition for Scratch as in Real-Life. Make a big change in the community and you are likely to become famous. 3D is an example.

When your projects receive, maybe, 100 views within a day of uploading, I'd say. And when practically everyone on the forums knows your name.

It depends on how you define 'fame'.

Quite simply put, it is a gradient. There is no "point of fame", only "more famous" and "less famous". As such, competition is inherent in "fame" (one of those "if everybody is _____, nobody is _____" things). The Scratch Team generally tries to discourage competition for views, love-its, etc., because Scratch isn't about competition (or fame). When it comes right down to it, it is about learning in a friendly environment.

Scratch is about learning, not fame...
