Scratch

1.  Scratch isn't about fame, so read this.
2.  Read
3.  See #1
4.  Not me.  The programmers (aka the Heart of Scratch, IMO) like games, the artists like animations.  I'm a programmer.

don't try to be famous because it won't help you. just do your thing and post tons of comments.

This happened to me, and I was desperate to be famous. How I got two project with more than 380 views? I took a class on scratch and looked through the blocks until I knew I could program anything!! If you make great projects, someday (probably not today) they will have tons of views. Trust me.

Scratchers like Astro are old scratchers. He joined 2 years ago, and was just one of those scratchers who a lot of people looked at. I joined around the same time he did, just no viewed my projects.

Anyways, if you really are desperate for views, then tags are the way to go. Don't spam tags on your projects, put tags that are relevant. For example, if you make a spinoff of Mario, then tag stuff about Mario, and mario games.

If you tag your projects, and somebody searches one of those tags, they will see your project.

Sorry, but four months isn't really almost a year.

WHAT THE HECK!!!!! IT'S NOT 4 MONTHS!!! I'VE BEEN ON SINCE JULY!!!!!!! IS THAT 4 FREAKIN' MONTHS TO YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!??????!!

Deleted topics can still be viewed by moderators.

Advertise your projects well in your sig, in S&T, in every other possible means but don't spam. Even if you don't receive views, just keep uploading GOOD projects. You'll eventually be noticed. Like Firedrake said, Scratch is not about fame though.

(And you wonder why you're not famous)

Hope nobody is using IE..... loloololololololol
8/12 = August
9/12 = September
10/12 = October
11/12 = November
12/12 = December

I'd say 5 months.

Dude, it's super easy. Just comment on everyone's project and tell them you're gonna hack them and then boom, you're famous.

You know, I'm deleting this darned topic. Nothing here is helpful, all i asked was pretty much how to get a lot of views, and people go and say "You've been on for four months!" HOW THE HECK IS JULY TO DECEMBER 4 STINKING MONTHS?!?!?!?!?!?

the people here are trying to help, and i think they deserve some respect. this website is not about getting famous. that is not the point. you've got to become a part of the community, you must post a lot of comments (i have ~4000) and help on the forums (i have ~1700 posts). the reason you're getting somewhat negative replies is because we understand that this isn't the point.

4 months? why are you taking this personally. it's a fact that you are new, like it or not. account age does not entitle you to fame, nor is it a representation of one's prowess. it does show that you are relatively new to scratch, and that you haven't been here long enough to gain recognition because you can only post so much in that time period. you can't expect to gain fame just because you think that you deserve it.

That is 5 months..... do the math. 1+1+1+1+1=5

That's what I said.  xD

Ummm, sometimes no matter what you do you won't really get anywhere fame-wise.

First off, while your projects are good, they don't really stand out. First try building your skills in programming and or animation. The wiki is good, youtube is also a good resource, but most good programming guides won't be for Scratch so if you wanna go for broke you could learn another language like actionscript3 using FlashDevelop.

Easy ways to get popularity if you have the talents are probably competing in contests and submitting to the design studio galleries. Projects relating to internet pop culture are also good, stuff like Gangnam Style and Nyancat.

This is my first post in a while I think? I still check this site for my comments and misc updates but I don't really have too much time for programming anymore.

Omg! Archmage! I haven't seen you in so long! I agree with your post.
