i found this looking around just trying to make sure its real and official u make this c55?
http://minetest.com/
thats the url

WTF?????? >_> I really hope someone clears this up because it looks like a real good ripoff of this forum...... This is fucked up

by **jordan4ibanez** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 02:46

its a cool fan-site

by **Menche** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 03:02

It does give credit to celeron55 and it links back to the official sites. It doesn't look like anyone's trying to steal minetest.

by **Gambit** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 03:15

Well it's a lot more presentable than the real site. It doesn't seem to be updated in a while though.

by **Death Dealer** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 03:37

I don't know: / I still think they should take it down. It's could be taking people that could contribute from this collaboration of work. If they can download there why would you come here? But if it's not updated I can see how it might b ok but idk... : /

Minetest.com is not updated and shoukd be taken down!

by **Arwym** » Wed Mar 14, 2012 06:07

I saw it earlier today while searching something on Google. XD

The owner should give that domain to c55 and/or allow the community to take care of the site. I mean, that domain name is perfect for an official Web site, and most people who are new to Minetest will be fooled to think it's the official one because of it.

You could also try getting minetest.org or minetest.net instead.

I think the maker of this site meant it very good by a fan. Look at the advantages.
Pro's:
* The nice graphical design will attract more players.
* Shows the content in a convinent way.
Con:
* We as a community do not have access to it.

Conclusion: We should try to make contact and work together. Who should do this?

I agree it does look nice and presents the mods in an appealing way. if anyone could get ahold of the maker of the site, it would be nice to keep people asking really simple questions off this forum. thereby reducing clutter in our collective work area.

kk ill try but i think celeron should approve it first

Hey guys,

I'm the owner of minetest.com. I just made the site as a small personal project, and have been rather busy lately, hence it not being updated.

Here is proof that I am in fact the owner of the site: http://minetest.com/saxony

Let me know what you guys want out of this site and I will do my very best to accommodate all of your suggestions. If you think changing it to a wiki format or including a separate forum there would be best then we can do something like that. Lets talk about it! Or if you'd like you can email me at admin@minetest.com

As far as celeron is concerned, he has contacted me in the past asking my intentions with the site and no more contact has been made since, so as far as I can tell he is not that concerned with it.

That's pretty much what I had in mind with the site too! It's also nice to know you like the format, one of the main reasons I made it was because of how hard it was to find mods, texture packs and so on in the forums. I will try my best to update it as often as possible, but I am often busy and forget to update it for some time. Perhaps I will look into getting some help from the community in that aspect, allowing people to log in and edit things themselves might work.

Thanks for your support! Still open to any suggestions you guys have

I definitely need some way of making sure all the best new mods and texture packs make it onto the site
