I was curated once (thanks Rufflebee) and the feeling was great!

You're welcome ;D
But really, I should be thanking you for giving me something to curate.
Also, seeing that this is a thread about curating, I might as well give some advice for people who might become curator:
Plan something. I started my time being curator with absolutely no idea what I was going to curate. And, eventually, I ran out of projects- In my last week, I believe I only curated four different projects ^^ (And be sure to plan for a two-week time.. I thought being curator only lasted one week, so yeah, I ended up kind of rushing my selections, but I think in the end I curated a nice bunch.)
So, yeah.. Thats all I got.

I would still love to be a curator   
As I have said, I tend to lean to the gaming side. But I also love the occasional "Simple" project that just is a really great idea. Projects like:
-Songs made from only scratch blocks like this. (My project, I won't curate that!)
-Projects that would act as a recourse to others: This (Mine again  )
-Projects that have an great idea like this (Won't curate that, too popular)

I would also curate projects that are just amazing.

Well, I'm going to try again, as I didn't fully specify in my first attempt. I'll keep it simple this time around, and try to stick to what I would select. 
I'd like to be a curator for Scratch. I would curate projects which are relatively unnoticed, but contain original or innovative programming techniques. The projects I would choose would be grounded in either science or math, and would most likely be simulations.

Some examples:
1. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/brian_rocks/1309332 (Great concept and original execution)
2. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/unknown … ob/1315901 (Great idea!)

And many more 

i REALLY want to become a curator. i'll post stuff that is very high in views and maybe some that i did. only the best of the best will be chosen. i hope you consider

When applying to be curator, it's good to give some thought to the kind of projects you'd like to show. "Cool projects that most people have never seen!" is a nice idea, but it doesn't really give us a good sense of what you like and why. We want to know what makes a project interesting to you.

Try viewing the projects in your favorites, and see if you can find a theme that describes them. Talk about that theme in your post, and consider providing a few links to good examples of that theme.

For example, I really like projects that use sound input from the microphone to draw interesting designs on the screen. Here's an example of one that I recently added to my favorites: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/MitFan/874786

Recalling this, everyone? Remember to follow this if you really would like to become a curator!

Great speech! I'm sure you'll win with that.

Hey! Ever read the Scratch Terms of Use? Please don't be mean to others~

I would not like to suggest myself as curator, but my friend Adventurest1.

She loves Scratch and she loves all types of projects. I bet she would choose wisely with which projects she chose, and I would make sure she doesn't choose any of mine    She's a very intelligent person, and would be perfect for the job of curator.

Thank you for your time, and Scratch On!

well, are you 100% sure that was sarcasm? Even if it most likely was, that doesn't make it right to assume. Good you're enforcing the rules, though. 

yes because we all know what happens when you assume 

anyways... good luck to all who hope to be a curator and i hope i get the position too! Just for good measure:

In light of Lightin's recent post I'm going to rewrite what i would curate.

A good deal of projects that get on the front page these days seem to be prank projects or have minimal programing (ie-press space to see art! not that these are bad- just taking up more room then they should be. and also the recent "Squidward falls while i play unfitting music" projects. there were 3 on the front page the other day). I would curate games that haven't gotten many views. Games take a lot of work. I would like to see the Scratchers who take the time to create awesome games that take a while to make and put a lot of effort into their programming. Thank you for taking the time to read this and i hope you consider me. 

Some examples: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/johndo77/1268894 really great choices game
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/PacMan3/1273798 Dot Game by PacMan3- i tried to get this featured!
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/HelenWonky/1116484 awesome game based on the big bang theory!

i have found some more projects i would like to curate!
RocketBoy by dayuppy
into the death star 3d by lizard657
portal bounce also by lizard657
Ball 1.2 by TheCreatorGuy
i would really like to see all these on the front page. 

yeah i check my messages and e-mail at least every 3 days    I can't wait to see what you curate
