Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I'd like to be the curator, because i want to pick projects who dont get many views. And, the ones without much views they quit eventually. No one likes when people quit. Especially, if they are your friends on scratch. I would definitly be sad if one of my friends on scratch quit. So that is my I'd like to be curator  smile

Well, I’ve been looking at this thread for a while now - since I noticed an interesting project on the curator spot. I didn’t actually consider becoming a curator until greenflash curated my project, MAZE 2, way back in mid-March. It was then I realised how it felt to see your own name on the front page. I knew then that I wanted to share this feeling with others – it was simply so good!

Now, you may be wondering “If Wolfie had been considering this opportunity since mid-March, why didn’t she apply for it?”. A number of reasons – the first being that I wanted to have an organised session as curator, so that I knew exactly what I’m going to curate each day. The second, is that I didn’t feel like writing a speech until now  tongue  (actually, I wrote this speech a month or so ago, but forgot to post it >.<)

I will choose three new projects every day, with a theme (eg, platformers, 1s1s games, OSes ‘n’ Apps, and more). I love projects that can be played over and over, without getting boring, or that can be learned from in some way (tutorials! TUTORIALS!  big_smile  I have only chosen two tutorials to curate so far  tongue ). Another point that I considered when creating my list of “picks” was finding something that would fit the genre, but still being a bit different to the other projects I choose for that day.

In fact, I have a list that currently has 26 projects of 12 different themes (my list is a little thin-on-the-ground at the moment – I have to work out two more genres, and find another 16 projects or so). As I said earlier, I’m planning on choosing 42 projects in total, as that is the answer to Life, The Universe a- wait a minute, in this case, it’s because I would have a 14 days, with 3 projects a day. Ideally, I’d choose 96 projects (‘cuz it’s the best numbah evah 8D), but that would mean that I would choose 6.9 projects per day... or one update with 3 new projects every 10.4 hours... which would mean that some people would have projects on at peak times, and others wouldn’t. And that’s unfair... D:

Back on topic, I’d love to take this on!  big_smile

EDIT: Also, I would try to curate projects by active users where possible, so that people who are still involved in Scratch would have a "time to shine" while they are active  big_smile

Thats sounds like a good plan!

Wow! What a great speech! If I were a member of the Scratch Team I'd definitely choose you - I hope you get chosen! Knowing you, you probably will  tongue

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I would love to be a curator. Why? Great projects take a lot of effort to make AND fix. Some get viewed, but most just disappear. Then the makers are pretty sad that they took so much effort to make it, but no one looked at it. But Curators have the chance to make
people proud and happy of projects they worked hard on. And they don't have to be those fancy ones. They can be those simples ones that they are proud of.If I was a curator, why just pick great or awesome? i would pick good and proud projects

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I think I should be picked to be a curator because. 1.My first account was ThunderClan, on the curator submition page one of ThunderClan's projects are on it!!!! Second, on my old account Darkwingedwolf I did games, animation tests, stories, and art. And I do the same on this account. Third, I befriend many scratchers. Fourth, I would pick projects that deserve to be there.  smile
Thanks!,
Hope I get picked!!!

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I would like to be the curator because I want to show scratchers how good others are. I would choose three new projects each day. I'd do atleast one game, one story, one animation, one art, one tutorial, one rpg info, and one remix. I like all kinds of projects. And I promise I'll pick a variety. I've been aplying for this many times. I encourage everyone to look at my projects and my friends' projects, which would be an example of some I'd pick. Since I made this account recently, I haven't favorited much, but I will. I challenge myself to look at other's, besides my friends' art too.

Thank you,

I'd like to be a curator~

I'm interested in art and animation the scratchers have put up. It's really nice to see someone so dedicated to artwork to actually draw something out frame by frame.

I agree. animations inspired me to do art. imagine how long it must take to draw each frame of an animation. ESPECIALLY the ones with good art.  wink

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

Curatorship would be the greatest honor one can receive, outside of having a featured project/gallery or becoming a moderator. With great power comes great responsibility. I believe I can handle, yea, wield the power of curator wisely.

Many projects, I'm convinced, don't get their fair share of time in the spotlight. Great projects usually aren't as well noticed by the world at large. I'm out to change that.

Good games deserve to shine. Good art deserves a chance in the spotlight. Good demonstrations deserve their chance.

Feel free to give me a chance.

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

I'd very much like to be a curator. I'm interested in 3D, Rpg's, FPS's and animations. I'd like to show these projects because I'm bored seeing the same people on the front page every week. I'd also just like to put a stop to all the Kaj rumours getting abour Scratch. He is not back and he has no followers.

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

Oh and a reason as to why I should be curator is I made the default avatar and I hardly have any views and I wish to help those like me.

Re: Become a Curator on the Scratch Homepage

The reason I like to be the curator is, I think it would be fun, I would have my name in the front page, and then I would be more popular! I like really any kind of projects!
