My Project Getting On The Front Page
My projects are epic, and whenever I wake up in the morning I find some whatever random project just sitting on the front page. I can't even have the F**N **** it have my project on the front page for once without it adding some other random project on the front page! I think this is a bug! COULD YOU GUYS PLEASE THE F********** HELP ME!?!

You need to work hard to get famous, its not instant.

Re: My Project Getting On The Front Page
Um, the front page rows are automatically updated.
Except for featured and curated.
But no need to be so selfish and greedy, Scratch is not about fame.
Being positive is bad for your health, it will attract lighting.

Re: My Project Getting On The Front Page
the top viewed and loved sections pick 3 random projects from the top 10 in each whenever you refresh so its never really consistent every time. its not a bug if your project isnt on the front page, its just the preferences of the community

Re: My Project Getting On The Front Page
I beg to differ.
My project was once 25th top viewed (I verified)
and got on the frontpage.
for more facts:
top viewed- projects < 3 days old, top 25
top loved- projects < 10 days old, top 10
top remixed- projects < 10 days old, top 10
This is just my speculation; tell me if I'm wrong

I figured out how it works.
The projects on the front page have this priority
1. Featured/Curated
2. Top-Remixed/Top Loved
3. Top Viewed
A project is only shown in its highest priority. So if a curated project is in the top loved, it will not be shown in top loved. If a project is not shown, the top 10 will include the lower ranked projects.
Also a user may only have one project front paged at the same time, so if I had 3 top loved, only one would be available for selection.
The whole thing works like that.

Re: My Project Getting On The Front Page
that's true.
and the three projects are randomly selected form their respective categories in viewd, loved, and remixed

Re: My Project Getting On The Front Page
I do sympathize with you. Getting on the front page is a combination of quality projects and luck. But, rather than criticizing the current front page, try making suggestions that would make it easier for high quality, but relatively unknown scratchers to make it there.
@thebriculator: It's kind of weird that you got front paged with on the 25th top viewed. I'm not sure what happened, but wiki says it's top 10 for all of them.
Edit: forgot a bit o' grammar

Re: My Project Getting On The Front Page
it could be for the best of it actualy projects don't get on the front page because usualy they are not good enough (not saying your projects are bad) and if a bad project gets on the front page the creator would get blasted with comments like This stinks! .
