Scratch

So, so true. (I have a project that's pretty old and someone commented on it 3 days ago because of a tag or something)

...and I don't have a perfect project that I would show off to people. Thank you for putting up your offer.

People usually just don't pay attention to projects unless they look interesting to them.
The best way to get comments if you're not so popular is to comment on other peoples' projects, especially on unpopular or new scratchers' projects - since they are usually very fond of comments, they will most likely check out your projects and comment on them. Happy you, happy them    lol

I only look at projects that I may remix or use one of the components in some way or I occasionaly see one of the featured project/Front page ones. Tags and being on the front page alot is the best way to get your project viewed.

When I first joined scratch, I was able to go to the new projects each day and view (at least in preview) all those that had been added since the previous day.

Now, however, there are so many new projects added that it is next to impossible to keep up with them.  A project will only be on the front page for a minute or two before being cycled off, and it is increasingly difficult to spot a good project in amongst the ones that are less unique.

But what can you do?  People feeling comfortable in posting their project, no matter how limited their skills, is what scratch is all about - as long as the creator learned something by creating it, it is a good project - it just may not look it to those people who figured out their (eg) jumping script many months ago.

The show and tell forum was supposed to mitigate this, but even that has been swamped.  Some of my most interesting projects have very few hits compared to some others of mine that were massively popular and/or featured...

I feel like im losing my touch lol

Yea, your projects are some of the best on scratch, it just that a small amount of people know about you =\

Maybe the front page can wait 3 minutes before the projects leave the front page and bring the next three projects in.

But it could overload with projects.

I agree the newest project needs to be extendet, and I feel that Top Remixed needs to be removed. I got projcts that i put hours into (500+ scripts) that barly gets any views, posting on show and tell aint helping anymore either as it is used so much!

Sometimes when i add a project it uploads and its already off the front page, its not even on there for 10 seconds

I have the same problem :@

I remember a idea call the least viewed list. I will look for the original thread but it pretty much showed the projects with the least amount of views ever. Your project had to be on for at least one day before it got qualified and would be on the front page until it wasn't the least viewed. It would get the view count up for some projects anyways.
