Petition for Top Loved/Viewed/remixed of All Time to be put back.

Okay, I liked those sections. They were the hall of Fame in Scratch. Why did you delete them?  They did nothing to hurt the community, and I thought the helped to praise the acheivement of certaian Scratchers, plus gives a goal for the new ones. Why did you deleted them? If you want these pages back, please post. Thanks.

There still is a Hall of fame ^^

I want them too I suppose. But I believe they would've erased the hall of fame completely by now.

No, they aren't coming back. Andrés said that keeping the all time lists would just give the most popular projects more views and such. With the recent lists, it gives more chance to get popular. I agree, sorry. Hey, I'll quote Andrés:

andresmh wrote:

The pages that showed the top viewed, loved and remixed projects ever are not linked from the home page anymore for several reasons. The first and most important one is that they slowed down the server. Since they try to present  the full ~600,000 projects, they end up using up a lot of processing power for our database server. Also, realistically speaking, most people would not really visit every single page of projects there. One option would have been to limit  the number of available pages but the database would still have to be queried as a whole to calculate the positions.

But then there is also another reason. Those pages almost never changed. The popular projects just keep getting more attention and new ones would rarely come up to the top. The old pages  Top Loved, Top Viewed and Top Remixed pages will still work but they will no longer be linked from our home page so they have less visibility.

I think the new Most Loved, Most Viewed and Most Remixed pages are more interesting because they will change more often. They only display recent projects the community finds interesting.  I would invite you to check these new pages more often since they  will bring more attention to newer projects.

This change took place on Dec 11, 2009.

Ah, there's more!  big_smile  Anyway, if Andrés wants something changed, it'll probably stay changed.
