Front Page Status Thread

This is the thread by me where you can:

•rant
•check the status
•discuss with others
•check the wishes

about the front page.

These front page status are mainly forumer type opinions, for we mainly think the same.
Feel free to add a "quote" about the front page that you feel is important so I may add it here.
Main siters will most likely disagree.
Feel free (again) if you would like me to change the status a bit.

QUOTES FROM SCRATCHERS

kayybee wrote:

I believe the front page can be improved, but currently, it's truly improving in my opinion. I hope that more old-timer scratchers like archmage come back and start making more awesome games.

STATUS OF THE FRONT PAGE

Remixed wrote:

Mostly either effortless coloring contests, add-yourselfs, or a random class assignment from a foreign country.

Loved wrote:

Mostly random animations that somehow seem pointless yet get loved a bunch, some cool games by jackt or those other scratchers that still make games that require some skill and knowledge, and also some cool tests about functions like 3D.

Viewed wrote:

Mostly unfairly front-paged projects because of a server glitch, pointless fan animations of pointless animations, and attractive yet not-quite good games.

WISHES FOR THE FRONT PAGE

Remixed wrote:

Add-a-level to the game, make a new minigame, change something significant to the project,

Loved wrote:

Games, cool games, awesome games, cool simulations/tests for new functions

Viewed wrote:

Projects that deserve to be in Top Loved and soon will be because it just reached enough views and it's love-it-worthy

There are people clicking that loveit button; I wouldn't go around criticizing those projects...


Though IMO they don't appeal to me  tongue

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

Re: Front Page Status Thread

I don't get it. Everyone thinks of animations as the lowest thing on the Scratch-chain, but what about the games? You say we are getting games back on the front page, but half are simple level games with 5 levels and take 2 minutes to play. This is IMPROVING?

Re: Front Page Status Thread

Games aren't everything. Some animations are good. Scratch is for more than games.

Re: Front Page Status Thread

I wonder why people always mix us up. People thought that you made Sandbox RPG.


Anyways, now there are just dragged gifs in a project put in a project.
