Scratch

I concur
we need a better front page
although this should be moved to suggestions...

This is hardly the first time a person has complained about this... although I do agree.

Don't use this as leverage for your stuff though.

I am with you!

I'm in!

You must understand people on the front page work hard to get there, and it's not fair if people don't like them.

I think you;re thinking for yourself and that you just want to see better projects or get YOUR projects on the front page.

I hate it when people do this because these things always get closed because it's mean and rude to down on people's projects for no reason.

I agree!

It wasn't meant to be a joke. They should replace it with like the Scratch blog or something.

i disagree, its practically the only way you can find projects.
well , sorta. i've never clicked "projects" at the top blue bar, true fact.

Nor have I...

It should probably just be limited to featured, curated, and friends' latest projects, as well as the Scratch blog.

I am getting SO tired of complete JUNK in the tops(veiws and loveits mainly). I miss the day's of fun games that crashed my computer and hilarious animations. Not this "I'm going to update you on my upcoming update" stuff! There might as well not be those bars, cause I rarely look at them and I'm sure many of you don't either.

There are lots of scratchers new and old to the site turning out awesome projects, just to get 4 veiws while "updates" are hogging prime time with 500 veiws and 50 loveits.

I'm not sure what we can do to stop it but we can think of something.

              Whose with me????

Note1: don't call me a ragin' noob because I most certainly am not!
Note2: I am prepared to act reasonably, I  most certainly don't to make this become a website divided.

Firstly, correct your error! (Not to be a spelling police officer)

Secondly, I think that people shouldn't worry about whether they get front paged or not. This is an online site for kids, why make problems when this is supposed to be a fun site to just make stuff and share it with the world?

But I do agree with you, that there are many new, unrecognized scratchers that make great projects but only end up with 4 views, and 1 love-it (If they're lucky) and deserve to be front paged.

Let's face it, people go look at projects that interest them. People on Scratch like updates, and unfortunately we can't change what's popular on the site.

It's nice to know that you want good projects on the front page, but seriously, this topic really is unnecessary. There are about a hundred other topics about this, and they haven't changed anything.

The problem is, Scratchers subscribe (friend) other users so they can see more stuff. So, when they see a new project in their friends' projects box, they click on it. Even if they think it's junk, they still have contributed a view, and they can't undo it.

Now, a thousand more people do this, and soon, the project is on top viewed. Get my point?

Not meaning to troll, just saying. This happens on most sites.

Spritemaster, you just whined about whining
