I'm not sure if this goes here but if it doesn't plz tell me.
-Well I feel like quitting b/c i get no views whatsoever and all my col labs have been shot down by the public meaning they say yes and don't cooperate or no one cares about them. I need some support and someone to help me get back on track and to make a game that is really good.

It's completely your decision if you want to quit scratch. It's your life after all.
But I believe that not being popular is not a good reason to quit. Scratch isn't about being popular or getting tons of attention. Sure, it makes you proud, but what should be making you happy is the fact that you're learning from Scratch.
If you think Scratch is all about popularity, then you're wrong. So if you think your main goal is to get popular, then you're also wrong. Your main goal should be to learn something new and have fun at the same time.
So quit if you want. It's not going to affect my life. But it will affect yours. If you should be having fun and loving Scratch but you think there's no way to do that without being popular, then quit. That's your reason to quit. But it shouldn't be. You'll probably regret quitting Scratch, but if you want to quit, go ahead.
tl;dr: Quit Scratch if you want to. None of us are going to change except for you. Everyone is capable of making a great game by theirselves. It might not be as good as a collab, but it's going to be better than just ranting on the forum saying how unnoticed you are. You can make good games and be popular. But that's if you try really hard. And you shouldn't try to be popular, just try making games the community will enjoy and have fun yourself.
tl;dr the tl;dr: Few people care if you quit Scratch. However, one of them is you. Quit if you want to. Don't quit if you don't want to. Choose yourself but you shouldn't do it because you're not famous. That's the worst excuse ever.

beyblade4, sometimes takes some time to get noticed. If you have a project with small views that doesn't mean your game is not good. When I make a project I'm proud about myself even if my project doesn't have any views.
Onestly, when I made my first projects I was upset that no one took a look at those even if I've posted my projects in the "Show and tell" forum and I tought I've gonna quit Scratch. Then I was inactive for about 4 months. But I didn't quit Scratch because that's me... I won't gave up. And that pushed me to spend more time making projects and advertising them in "Show and tell" forum.
Sorry for my bad english. Sorry if I was a bit offtopic. Thanks.
I hope you won't get bored reading my post.

Dude, I was having the same problem just a few months ago. I was making great projects that only got 4 views. But you just have to keep on trying! Make friends on scratch. View their projects and they will view yours. Advritise your projects in the show and tell section. Ask people what projects they want to see. Fancy your page up with a mixture of art projects, games, annimations and other types. Be creative and that will get you popular.

Don't quit. It may take time. Your projects are cool. It may take time for a curator to view them, but if they get frontpaged, then they'll be hitting the jackpot!
