Scratch

I want to be curator on scratch because i devote most of my computer time to scratch and i'm bored a lot on scratch and i search for good projects and i have alot of good projects i found that deserve to be curated.

do they e-mail you to say your a curator?

They send you a message asking you to contact them if you're still interested in the curator position.

I would like to become a curator. I would add projects that are: educational, popular, & cool

I've only been on scratch for about a year (this is my new account, my old one is cherrypups), but I help people if they ask, and I really want to help more people get on the front page. I know I haven't commented in the forums much, but I do look at all sorts of projects, popular or not, and give them suggestions for improvement or help them with glitches. I don't care if I'm on the front page myself, I just want to help out the less noticed scratchers of the community. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PICK ME FOR CURATOR SO I CAN HELP MY FELLOW SCRATCHERS GET NOTICED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello,
I'm demosthenes (as you may or may not know depending on whether you looked over there <-----) I've been Scratching since early 08 and late 07 (yes late 07 I didn't register 'til 08) and I've seen all kinds of scratch projects. I pride myself on ability to sift through projects to determine which are diverse, unique, original, inspiring, smoothly designed, and easy to adapt. If I were to become curator I would work to look through scratch projects that have received little attention, but could provide something to the community. Whether this would be because it was simple and provided an easy base for Scratch users to build off of, gave me inspiration that I felt the whole community would benefit from if it were on the front page, or provided a interesting and entertaining message that could reach and resound through all corners of the community, no matter how different racially, religiously, ethnically, or otherwise. I would choose projects that are well polished and push the limits of Scratch and present programming at its best.
Well, that's about all I can say on the matter (without ranting) so, thanks for reading (unless your one of those naughty people who skips to the bottoms of posts >.>) and please consider me as a candidate for curator.

I'm just reposting my speech that got lost in a sea of replies.

I may make a new speech soon 

I would love to be a curator on the Scratch Homepage.

The homepage is a great place for people to find interesting and creative projects.
And that's exactly what I would show.

I would pick the projects that use Scratch in new and innovative ways.
I would pick a whole variety of projects, including maybe some tutorials, some games and some art.
Basically projects that are worthy and deserving.

I think that I will choose well made games and/or projects that have somehow been avoided by viewers and are mostly unknown. ( ' v ' )

I think I might want to be a curator, one question though, what if you favorite all your projects? Won't it seem a little weird for people? (Not that I have, I'm just asking.)

EDIT: Oh yeah, will it automatically update when you favorite new projects?

Yep, it does - but it can take about a half hour.

Thanks to cupcakebaker126 for curating some cool projects! The next curator is survivorduck.

Survivor! xD
I think he'll choose interesting projects.

She, not he.
Sorry, just had to point that out.

Argh... I really want to be more active in the community besides posting on the forums.

Once I become active enough... in a few months, maybe... I'll be overjoyed to curate!

Congratulations, Survivorduck!

A question - how often should you apply for being curator?
