Here's what I see happening:
If you post a popular thread on the front page, you're advertising it to everyone. This increases chances of flame wars, and it's hard to have a discussion when there are 45 people putting different opinions on one thing, and the more people find it the more it will be at the top of the What the Community is Discussing bar.

Basically, one thread in the forum will become the forum for new scratchers who will have to be reminded to make their own thread.

I guess I'll support.

Alsoooo.. the whole traffic thing everyone is taking bout isn't true. Only a few posts will have traffic, and it while there would be a lot of people potetially starting flame wars, there would ALSO be a bunch of people reporting the bad things. Not all scratchers are flame war starters, some are stoppers. -___-

And because no one clicks that means that no one will pay attention to the front page discussion-thing either.

1. What does this have to do with the recently shared projects? And that is beneficial, as it has to do with making unpopular projects popular. Since Scratch revolves around projects, and not the forums, I'd say that recently shared projects is more beneficial.
2. While the number of flame wars may not be as high as others are saying, there certainly will be plenty of new traffic, especially from new scratchers spamming (even if they don't realize it).

How is frontpaging a project for a matter of seconds make “unnoticed projects noticed”? Its funny that you think that. Its not benificial, no one thinks it is, and no offense, but there's a reason why those projects aren't noticed. If new scratchers are spamming, others will report it. Simple as that. New scratchers just need to learn. -___-

1. I think that it is very beneficial, and I have found some pretty interesting projects in the recently shared projects section.
2. So you're saying we should let the new scratchers spam, because eventualky they'll learn their lesson after being reported? That's like saying we should let gunmen carry guns intosports stadiums, because once they shoot lots of people, they'll go to jail and learn their lesson.

1.Maybe you've seen a good project in it once or twice… but other people won't have the same set as you. Its not beneficial, its very RARE to find decent projects there.
2. There you go again with the hyperboles -___-

1. I still think it is a good idea to scroll through them. Even if you don't find any good projects, there are still some projects in there that, while they might not be front-page worthy, took a while to make and deserve some sort of credit.
2. Is there something wrong with my hyperboles? U got something against hyperboles?

1. Uh, most recently shared projects are a cat walking, that took 30 seconds to make. UNBENIFICIAL!
2. And yeah I got something 'gainst hyperboles. Well, actually only YOUR hyperboles.

My Ievan Polkka project got on the recently shared project section, and now it has 51 loves and 520 views.

So that's unbeneficial? At least there must be something remotely good. I just looked through the RSP section and found three good CCs with no remixes whatsoever. In fact I might even join one of them.

1. I doubt it got popular b/c of it getting recently shared….
2. There are SOME things that are good, buut they are rare.
