Scratch

That is likely, since you are a New scratcher. Just make a lot of friends, post a lot of projects, and then sooner or later you will post a good project and it will be front paged. 

Front pages are chosen by moderators. If a moderator sees a good project he/she can nominate it to be on the front page(I think)

Ok

No.

Front paged is getting viewed, loved, picked and such. I've been here for a while, even though my discripition says New Scratcher, I've actually been here for years! To get front-paged, make something that is really good and something in common to what the majority of people like!

Well, there's no easy way to answer that. I've been on Scratch a year and 6 months on other accounts and I was only front paged once and it was for 1 day. Thats it. Well, it wasn't my fault. CoolerThanIce (past curator) curated stuff pretty fast... Like LivelyStickDude said, friends are important on Scratch. They'll always give your project that extra view, love-it, etc. But don't take them for granted. And NEVER go around friending whoever you see. You'll be considered annoying. Friends stick by you, you stick by them. Simple really. My friends are the only reason I Scratch on. They will really help, trust me.

i have never been on the front page too

Do you like giant walls of text?

You know, being front paged is quite an interesting thing. Why do you want your project to be on the front page? Why do you think it is important to get on the front page?

I'm asking these questions to myself as I consider everything I have done and what I should do.

I personally believe that being front-paged is some nice little commodity that people get sometimes. Meh. Think about what kind of projects get front-paged. Are they made good? Did people put thought into making them? How much time did people put into them?

And of course the wonderful Scratch Team is trying to find and tweak the algorithms of the front page so that the best projects get showcased. They came pretty close. However, I don't think that this is of any importance. Sure, there are special ways to calculate where a project should go, but this wouldn't matter.

I think what matters is you focus on making a good project that people enjoy. If you make enough thoughtful projects, people will notice you. They'll like what you do. They'll ask for more.

And at that point, if you just keep to your audience and make more projects, they will grow. When you stop making projects, they will go away. I have experienced this many times. On average, the higher rate of projects I make, the more people view them.

Now, being featured, curated, or being on Top Loved are different things. Top Loved is what people press the love-it button on. This shows no direct correlation to if the project is good or not. Being featured and curated are almost the same thing. Someone picked your project because they thought it was good. And if you make a good, thoughtful project, you'll get featured or curated(at least I hope this is still true  ).

And look at the advice other people give. In general they say, make a thought out well-polished project. What appears on the front page? Mostly thought out, well-polished projects.

I have never been on Top Remixed, Top Viewed, or Top Loved. For more than 5 years, yeah, I know.

But I have plans 

EDIT: In case you want to know, yes, I have been curated and featured.

Make good projects, make URLs to your games with flashy pictures and put them in your signature, and put your projects on the Show & Tell fourms are all good ways

Wait, how long do you have to get Love-Its on your project if you want to be in Top Loved?
