About Top Viewed...

Not sure if this has been suggested or not, but I just want to speak my mind.

Something should be done about top-viewed. Many people complain about projects that hit the front page, even though they shouldn't have, and it was because people were curious, wanted to troll on it saying it was "overdone" or "unoriginal." (Unfitting music.)

I've thought of two possible solutions:

-If a top-viewed project gets over a certain amount of views, then it should be taken off the front page, making it unable to be top viewed again.

-It should be replaced entirely by something like "You might like:" where the website records the projects you loved and their tags, then looks for other projects with the same tags. It produces the projects at random if it cannot find any other matches.

So, what do you think?

Also, this is coming from someone who was on the top viewed page. It was an effortless pile of [removed by moderator] that distracted attention from my main project at the time: Ultimate Paintball.

This.

Seriously. I'd much prefer that over the current top viewed part of the front page.

I support. I personally hate the Top Viewed. Would You Might Like be higher up, like under Friends' Latest?


Thus I have spoken.

Looking at the home page, I think it would be fit under featured projects and above friends' latest.

Or it could be customizable. You could even completely remove modules you don't want.

Re: About Top Viewed...

I agree. Top viewed is usually filled with the same people all the time.
