The scratch website and how to get famous(ask me anything!)

Welcome all new users and here we will be learning about differant things on scratch !
Well on scratch Lots of people want to be popular but most people are just a normal person that gets 12 views and 1 love-it or less so if your not *Famous* or *popular* its not that bad ! If a scratcher gets popular they usually get a project on the front page but it might take you years to get top viewed or top loved or somethinglike that ! So here you are going to learn how to get love-its,views and comments by been nice to people !

making freinds wrote:

Lots of people make freinds on scratch by just saying hello or by commnting on someones project ! So why dont you try this and see if it works , but be careful , not everyone is very nice on scratch so if you meat someone gthat comments on your project saying "your project stinks " and especially if its one of your first projects you know that this person wont be a very good freind ! Also in a while one of the most important things is internet safty which is down below . So if your first project dosent work out very well  have another go with a differant project !

now lets see how safe you are on scratch

internet safety wrote:

On scratch every member cant be watched all the time so be careful who you talk to because some people on scratch are wierd and they will say they  are only your age (if your a kid) like they will ask your age and lets say your just 10 they will say im 9 lets be freinds and yet they could be 23 or something like that ! You should also look out for these on any social networking sites (my-space,twitter,facebook,ect...) . If your on any site you should not display images of your-self especisally if your very young ! The reason is that if someone from the same city as you might pretend they are young and you meat them and they are not well your in big trouble so if your young always ask and bring an adult with you if your meating someone ! Theres lots more about internet safty so please ask others before you continue using scratch !

lets learn about the forums !

forums wrote:

On the scratch forums the moderators and site owners expect you behave on these forums and if you dont behave on scratch you will be banned ! Please respect other users by not swearing or hurting others becaus all members will hate you and you will become infamous ! They might comment on your games swearing at you and that wont be very nice ! But lets get back to the forums . The scratch forums are useful for everything  of the most important ones is show and tell ! On show and tell you can addvertise your projects for free !Many people are wondering why they cant see their but the truth is that to help stop spamming on the forum and in your signature you need 51 posts ! It was supposed to be 50 but it was a logic error on this forum and what happend was I think they said over 50 instear of over 49 !Also please dont spam your sig because ( This is an edit may not be through) in Late 08
signatures were not alloed because of too much spamming. Oh also before this post was posted you couldnt get your sig removed because of size! The size i think is 100x200 i think ask scratch team for more!
Please dont ask Why isnt my signature showing any more and now you know that if your signature isnt showing and you have less than 51 posts then thats correct ! Also watch out for fake signatures like this first one :
_________________________________
see fake so dont be fooled ! by people with less than 51 posts !
This will get you comments,love-its,and views! Also look up the other forumsv for more about scratch !

lets see the consequences of scratch

Re: The scratch website and how to get famous(ask me anything!)

Uh, so? You don't know me, and why should you? I haven't started any forum topics, nor have I made any projects whatsoever. The impact of me saying that to you, and of you saying that to me and completely different. It was funny of you to try and make me feel unimportant though, however it failed.

It's still kind of hard to make out some things, but from what I can read it sounds like you didn't understand my comment at all.

                                 dav09,
                                      scratch on

Forums bit: Well most people to get banned from time to time but they get unbanned after that usually. Luckily I was never banned  smile  You should mention that apparently before late 2008 you couldn't post a signature at all because they spammed in their signature in a way which is not acceptable.

Scratch Consequences bit(After that thing about 51 posts): There are two other consequences:

Censored Forum Post: The words used in the forum post were removed by the Scratch Team
Removed Signature: The contents of your signature is not shown

Oh yeah and by the way the part you said about Closed Forum Post- It's apparently a closed forum thread not a post. Used when the thread becomes violent or it goes out of date.

No its not. My thrid project on my first account got on the top viewed. There are just three things that you need to get front page material. Unfortunatly, most people don't do this.
1. High quality projects. Not something that you put together, or even a super hard equation math thingy. Something that looks and acts professional. That means good consistent (Usually not hand-drawn) graphis, NO BUGS, and an easy to use interface.
2. Projects that people will actually like. YOu can be original and still be famous, but its alot easier if people already know the subject, like Mario, or Pokemon. These topics have a much higher chance of getting viewed simply because people look for them more often.
3. Advertising. First thing I do after every project is posted. I tag it with everything thats related, I post on the forums, and then I go gallery hunting, putting it in any and all revalent gallery's. I ask the people who have "favorites" gallerys to look at mine. It doesn't hurt.

Its not that hard to have well viewed/loved projects. You just have to put the time in.

(For all you naysayers, My best project has 210 love-its, and my worst is around 20. Every single one of my projects has 100+ views, with the average around 600.)

Well, I will say that THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY PROJECTS ABOUT MARIO ON SCRATCH! I mean, unless you are a complete newbie, you aren't going to be interested in another small mario animation. or if they are really your friend.

Also, of course ALL of your projects have 100+ views, you only have 8 projects. People get bored looking at all of your stuff.

no offense of course  smile

no offense of course  smile

Except I don't make Mario Animations. I make remakes, of the Mario games, like World 1-1 through 1-4. And A remake of Mario kart, the one with 210 love-its. There are that many projects for a reason, and if your stands out, you can reap the rewards of it.

The amount of projects I have, doesn't make a difference. I would bet that most poeple that signed up at my time have less than 100+ views. (Plus, the least viewed ones are original, or not well used ideas, such as christmas, a archery thing and Sonny RPG.

You, on the other hand, are alot different than me. Your ideas are original, and yet you too are also very good. Thats nice to see a innovative project grace the front page once in a while.

Thanks for the feed back though.  smile
