Re: Help?
No respectable Scratcher could ever pride him/herself on saying that all front page projects are rubbish

Day 1. I upload a project. Let's say it's a minimation that I made in about an hour. My friends and a couple of fans view it.
Day 2. I watch my messages rise, and I'm actually getting some pretty good comments.
Day 3. It somehow ended up on Top Viewed. But I shrug and guess I should be happy.
Day 4. I get several comments from game-only die hard programmers saying why something this stupid can get on front page, usually worse. They view it, thus pushing it to top Top Viewed. More insults come.
Day 5. I reply to the comments. Flame war ensues. I start wishing that this hadn't got on Top Viewed at all.
Day 6. I decide to leave the computer until it gets off top viewed.
Day 8. Off Top Viewed. I release another project.
<end>
OK, this is roughly how this works:
*Puts on nerdy voice*
Let's say 500 people viewed your projects. They're split into 3 groups:
* Scratch Team/Advanced members, who are nice people;
* Nice people, who like viewing projects
* 1337 #@*0rz!!!!!1111one, who can only admire their 1 Sprite, 0 Script Projects.
Now, if you think about it, there's 441,326 people on Scratch, and proven by the "Newest Projects" category, over 350,100 of all Scratchers are the "3rd group"
So, if our 350,100 little friends wander around "Top Viewed", and discover one of your Projects, they'll get down to their "1337 #@x0r" business" and let others know how much better their "1 Sprite, 0 Script" projects are by letting others hear that:
"olulz thad projjectz s00x cuz minez triallionzszsz timexxzz bettah lulz lulzlulz!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111one"
So, in conclusion, whatever you do, you can't make our little #@x0r friends avoid your good projects.
if you're creative, and enjoy world-building and character-making.

Well, people who are famous don't want their projects on the front page, like nikkiperson2 or I think The-Whiz. But that's because they experienced the fame feeling and the 100 comments. They get tired replying and they don't want it to be on the front page anymore.
I've experienced the fame feeling over 9000 times and I'm not tired of it. 
But it does take a lot of experience and brains and mature thinking to be able to put up with it. I used to get really irritated by it also, so I understand them. D:

Cause there's no point on making a project if no one looks at it.
Thinking like that is not healthy. D:
Maybe I can write a guide on how to be famous. ^^ How to "be" famous, not how to "become" famous. ^^
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline

You do mean 1 sprite 1 script, right?
It is frustrating... Sadly I can't think of a legal way to fix it...

--No, I mean a single picture, drawn in a record time.--
And I wrote this thing. I think your script broke, since I'm the one that said
"1337 #@*0rz!!!!!1111one, who can only admire their 1 Sprite, 0 Script Projects"
Please fix this misunderstanding.

Re: Help?
That must really stink... 
Most scratchers just want to be on the front page, that's why they take their anger issues out on you... Getting on the front page is rare for me, but I really don't want to get on the front all the time.
People bully you out of jealousy. I've been seeing a lot of bullying toward people that get on the front page all of a sudden... One day, everything is fine, the next day, people are getting all angry about the front page. When your Toki Thrillah and skystar's pikachu volt tackle test got top viewed, I noticed the same scratchers were bullying you both...
