so what do we discuss here

Is that a trolling comment?

If not, I guess they want you to talk about the front page.

It's a rufflebee reference!

But seriously, what is there to talk about the front page?

It's boring, and too many fail scratchers are on it.

Hi, i was looking at the top viewed project And it had 466 views!!!! that really is alot of views for any scratcher "Famous" or not. and when the views or love-its are That high it makes it hard for a scratcher With good projects to get on the front page. I think that Those "Famous" scratchers  take over the front page And set the boundry Too high For a really good scratcher the has never been front paged before To get On The front Page. what do you think? I mean, How many front pages can a "Famous"scratcher have?

Geez,still many caps.

Well you have to realise that these people have worked hard to get on the front page, and that they are not hogging the front page on purpose (if I may put it that way).

Of course there may be the odd project that you may think does not belong on the front page but you have to understand that when these "famous" people became "famous", it's because they have worked hard and made good projects.

I hope that helps! 

JJROCKER and many other people spammed an absoulute TONE (dont even get me started on that harry potter project  )
one guy even sucked up to everyone

i wouldn't really call that hard work.

Ok, you don't need to go on with this for 11 months. It's done, it's over, I won't do that, I've learned, you keep going on, will you stop please, it's getting annoying, I'm done. This is the last time I will say this 08jacket.

It's not hypocrisy, it's as if a wealthy man that works a lot says "He doesn't deserve the money he gets" about somebody that works little but is as wealthy-08jackt works a lot on his projects, while many of JJRocker's are just text. I like JJRocker's projects, but they're not as good as 08jackt's, 08jackt's are some of my favorites.
(Hope this doesn't offend you, JJRocker, as that's not my intention)

And I think that a project should automatically get off the front page as soon as it hits 500. 

No offense to you or 08jackt, but in my opinion, the only thing I enjoy about 08jackt's (rather simple) projects is the graphics, not the gameplay.

How would I get offended? xD
And it has scrolling, great graphics, good shooting, and the gameplay's as good as any other game... I really don't see anything that's un-frontpage worthy other than that most people probably fail at winning them. 

What game are YOU talking about?

And once, this stupid project "Design Your Own Stickman Contest" got 1st top remixed, with 43 remixes. Rubbish. Everyone can draw a stickman easily. The contest should of been cooler if it took it to the next level.

I think that someone or somepeople should make a seperate site, where only games get featured, also, instead of top viewed and most loved they should be for different genres of games such as simulations, rpg, platformer, etc. Me and wiimaster came up with that

The Top Remixed section is colloquially known as the "Bad Project Sympathy" section.

Thank you! Finally someone gets it!

I apologize, but if those are "good projects", then my mind has gone defunctional.

I apologize, but if the community feels that the front page projects aren't worthy, then they have nothing except themselves to blame for putting it up there by clicking on it and viewing it. 

The algorithm that defines what projects can hit the front page and what will not can be changed multiple times over, but one thing still remains - it's still community-controlled. So if we decide to take a look at a project even if the thumbnail clearly shows a topic we don't enjoy, then we must blame ourselves when it gets the top viewed slot. Likewise, if we continue searching the same users over and over again and faving their projects instead of taking the time out to view other projects by other lesser-known Scratchers (those who don't view the Show and Tell forums or check out Surprise projects, take note!), we will we stuck with the same Scratchers on the front page. Long story short - we can change the front page algorithm as many times as we like, but unless the community changes their method for finding projects, you will not the the front page changes that you would like to see.

As what jji7skyline said - most people who get the front page are not up there on purpose - they did have to work hard to get up there in the first place, from putting effort into their projects to getting involved in the community to share their work (and yes, becoming community involved does take effort!), so you cannot blame them for getting up there. People who supposedly get up there with minimal effort and minimal interaction with the community are very few and far between. If you really want a desired front page change, I suggest you take to heart the hint in the paragraph above this one and act upon it. 

NOW I understand...

Hmm, but that's still not fair. Obviously, people are going to look at famous peoples projects, therefore, they are more likely to get on the front. I'd say 08jackt is famous and is WORTHY of the front page cos he never puts stupid stuff like mass remixes on or silly, pointless animations.
