Re: To many pointless announcements on the front page...

It's for both, and it's the community who made it for game making. But yes, it is weird to see some kinda pointless announcement thing hitting front page...

Yeah there is too much pointless junk on the front page. And the only thing good on the front page is your project.

Stuff like,"I Got Braces," ? If so, I agree. If it's",Let's try to get along,there's been to much drama" stuff, i's good in my opinion.

Scratch is for programming, and people can program whatever they want. They need to program a script in order for their animation to work.

Re: To many pointless announcements on the front page...

Sure, people are allowed to make whatever they want. I am COMPLETELY ok with people making announcements and stuff.

But there's no need for them to make the front page. The front page is for good projects that people work HARD on. there are some REALLY good projects out there that aren't getting noticed because of stupid anouncements making the front page.

Unfortunatly.
I think that a project about how you got hacked should not be on the front page, although it is one of the top viewed.

I think it should go back to you project can be top loved and top viewed at the same time, which helped quality control it a little. I also liked Top downloaded.

I agree
besides being able to make people force-download your project, the most downloaded are usally something complicated that people want to look at (or is very slow)

Re: To many pointless announcements on the front page...

Here's a little story for you.

Once upon a time, people made a little world based on something called Scratch. People populated this happy little land and were happy. Then some started making animations, and they were killed by those who remained with making games. As more and more animators came, the game-makers started hurting them badly. The people who made the happy little world couldn't do anything, so they decided to let the population destroy the world. The end.

Re: To many pointless announcements on the front page...

That's quite possibly the future of Scratch. Come on, people. If you want more games, make more games. If you're too lazy, too bad. Go ahead and pick through the animations for your beloved games.

You do know this thread is about complaining at pointless, no sprite, no-script announcements

Ok. Someone has to get rid of those for certain. I just saw people wandering into the touchy subject of animations VS. games.
