I support. Did you know that those "add your _________" projects only came into being after top remixed was made?

Also, on a somewhat unrelated topic, you know how top loved is now "What the Community is Loving"? How come top remixed didn't change?

It would be: What the community is remixing... Weird...

Please add me to the list.
Here's what I think:
It's just a way to find out what remix chains are the most popular at the moment. Scratch was built for easy remixing, but that's not what was wanted - what they wanted was creative remixes. Adding your anthro/character/whatever is not creative at all.

Of course I support it! It's just an easy way to find the most popular remix chains!
I was thinking about suggesting this a few days ago...

Well, I would of agreed with taking off "Top Remixed" but then I thought. If they took off that section then It would seem like Collaboration projects are discouraged. I think the Top-Remixed section is great because it teaches others how to work with each other. Without it Collaboration would be partly hard to do (In a way...). Sorry about not going with majority.

Ah yes, I would like Top Remixed ousted from the front page. I'm pretty sure the Scratch team saw good when they came up with it, since they support remixing, but I'm afraid it hasn't worked. What they saw then were people remixing great games into greater games. What we see now are projects saying "add yurself duin a dance" projects that have absolutely no value to anyone except those people who are desperate to get popular and make one of those projects to get front page.
Exactly what I think, I agree.

What he meant was that it's just dumb to encourage remixing to get in a board, since it makes people jealous.

Thats exactly what i think, which is why we are proposing a 'featured remix' section

I think you're mistaking collaboration with possibly something else, because collaboration is working as a team to make a project, but Top Remixed is only really used for Remix Chains, and contests.

Even if the "Featured Remix" section is applied it will be the same thing it is just the name of the section will change.

No. Because the scratch team would feature Collaborations, which are never on top remixed.

I agree with The_whiz. There should be a "featured remix" section.

Do you agree with removing top remixed?
I still like the idea, but a Featured Remix section sounds promising. It could take the Top Remixed's place.
How often would it be updated, though?

I would say once every week. 3 projects that are interesting to remix, chosen by the scratch team for other people to remix!

I agree! Projects like "Add your character dancing!" are really pointless. I also thing that there should be a "Featured Projects" row. Agreed 100%!

I agree, top remixed should be removed. That is, unless people start remixing good games to make greater games, or a really clever "add yourself". I just make "pointless projects" for the fun of it, not to get top remixed or anything.

Well said. The Top Remixed would be a very good section to have only if the projects were those that inspired creativity. Not scribbling your anthro/character/whatever in a few minutes.

Agreed! Which is why featured remix would work perfectly! I also think they could replace suprise projects with top remixed...

Um... you swapped it.
Don't you mean "replace Top Remixed with Surprise Projects"?
