New Front Page
The layout will be the same but everything that has to do with projects (except friend's latest) will be changed. Top veiwed/loved and featured and the other stuff I might have forgotten will be in age groups. We all put our age in when we make an account, right? The age Groups will be under 6, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, 21+ this will let projects from younger scratchers get on the front page. The more famous scratchers get on the front page all the time (well, not all the time) 16+ scratchers know more math than ten-year-old scratchers. They can make better projects just with math (code cracker is one) I have games that I think are awesome for my age group (6-10). Mr. Miner Man (1 2 3 4) is good for my age. I see projects like altra fast pen rendering on the front page. I also see art and art tutorials too. Another layout might be: lets just take top loved it will be top loved art, top loved games, top loved music, and top lover other. The other ones will be like that too. I think this is a good idea. P.S. I am writing this at 12:09 at night. (off-topic I know)

Re: New Front Page
I think it's not a good idea about the age thing because would you really wan everyone to know your age? Some people don't and some do. Maybe some other categories might be nice but it might get confusing if there's too many.

I disagree with the age idea but I do agree with top loved art, games, etc.

Re: New Front Page
Although I understand your reasons that this is a good idea, I don't agree with this idea for a few reasons. Some users don't want other users to know their age, and this could also really clutter up the front page.

IMO all age ratings/group things are stupid, pointless and annoying.
The top loved art/games/music/other thing is always rejected because people shouldn't "split up the community". Also, music projects normally have music that isn't made by the project creator. And what if you have a game with art/music by you? Where does that go? IMO, Mr. miner man doesn't deserve to be front paged, like most things. Out of my projects, I believe the following deserve to be front paged (maybe a few others but these are the main ones):
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/juststickman/728437
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/juststickman/1014254
But they didn't. However, stickman test (first testing account's project), ragdoll adventure, some of my animations and dino run demo did.
BTW I'm 11. Would you think that from most of my projects? Just wondering.
