New front page section
I think there should be a 'highest view/love ratio' section on the front page.
This is basically the projects which have the greatest ratio of love its to views. Example: a project with 56 love its and 100 views would have a 56% ratio. The best ones are the highest %age.
Any project with over 10 views qualifies for this section.

10 views, 10 love-its=instant front-page? 
I know many Scratchers that would register 10 accounts with random emails, and love their project. Well, It'd only count as one view, but with 9 more people seeing their project, they'd get front-paged. Truly I just think we should replace top remixed with top downloaded/surprise projects.
With a straight flush.

That would be tricky. This means you could instantly get front-paged with a small number of views.

This totally explains it all. Besides, if there was a higher number, this option would NOT be much different than the "Top Loved" on the front page already.
I really think the front-page is fine as it is, actually.

Maybe then it could be only projects a week or older count, and they can't be any older than a month. And anyways the Scratch Team can tell from IP Addresses if someone registers multiple accounts.
I think it would be VERY different from Top Loved. Imagine an AMAZING project that only gets 15 views but everyone loves it, that wouldn't get Top Loved even though it deserves it. This is the kind of project it would help.
There was one project which only has 12 views but all 12 loved it. And I'm one of them.
