GRRRRRRR!!!! *Almost whacks funkymonkey*

They're a bit like remix chains, the purpose of the project is only to get on the front page.

It pathetic, to say the least.

There projects that ahve 100's or 10's of love its, and they are called LOVE IT GAMES. Telling people to click love it, so the project will make front page. Is that not a little... sad?

Don't you constantly ask people "quote: Love it?" to people?  I remember you asked me that on your game Teleporter...

Yep    I do. Its something I am so used to doing, but I think my projects at least Kinda deserve them... (I think  ). If you want, I can stop....


Also, what does IMO mean?

IMO means In My Opinion

Ya, I don't like when people do that... to me it seems like cheating to get on the front page. I never do it even when my projects really do deserve it. Maybe if I started doing that my projects would get on the front page.

I'm fine with them.

I think of them as tests- to see how many users play along and loveit (my word, don't ask) the project, and how many move on because they think they're irritating.

And yes, they can get front page when they didn't "deserve" it, but it's the members who loveited them.

Yeah,I dislike those "games"...all they are are spam projects made by uncreative users in an attempt to get on the front page.I wouldn't be surprised if once they do that,they change the project into an advertisment that will then be on the front page.I don't like them because scratch is supposed to be fun,not some competitive programming convention.These and other spam projects take up 1/3 of scratch's space...it's sad to see these projects weigh down a site like scratch,where the websites goal is education and fun.

ok they aren't all spam projects. I asked everyone who commented on Santa Cannon Fire for a love-it, and that is DEFINATELY not a spam project or anything close. Everyone worked on it really hard and it deserves to be on the front page!

I mean projects that are ONLY asking for love-its and nothing more.A game or something that has "please press love-it" in the comments is fine,I mean a project that just has a picture that says "PRESS LOVE-IT NOW!!!!" with an arrow pointing at the love-it button.
