Yes you are, I added you on yesterday and emailed you a link to the post...

I think when celeron made the switch from c55.me hosting everything to minetest.net it broke all the mail servers. I used to get email updates for threads I was subscribed to, but that no longer seems to work either.

Who the hell made minetest.com? really? Whats wrong with this forum!?!?! I did. Is there a problem with it? Also, the forum looks terrible (no offense whoever designed it) and is poorly organized. I wanted a place where you could go and see a bunch of texture packs/mods on one page with screenshots...

Just for you Jeija, I redid all the nasty colored bars in a more minetest-y theme :) Site is still unfinished, I want to redesign the whole site sometime in the future with some added functionality, but until I have time to do that I think it will suffice now. Let me know what you guys think! Also b...

No rules, no restrictions. But I choose what to use, and if to use anything at all. 8-)

I quite like the desert one on your blog

Love it!

Needs to be smoothed out a tiny bit, but I'd love this to be the in-game music :)

@Saxony: I really love the minetest.com wiki and you do a good job reviewing all the TPs and Mods. Another thing I noticed about minetest.com... Sorry, but it looks a little unfinished yet. It's just the way the website is designed: These coloured bars don't really fit the game. Instead of the head...

There are still too many errors in the wiki to my liking. A lot of information, but many of it is wrong, like: - the finnish IRC channel (there is no server called ircnet.net) - linux installation of mods - the texture packs page is just... well, even i don't understand it; also i know that install...

Which wiki are you referring to?

It is possible to disable posting replies in topics on Mod Releases - I wonder if that would be beneficial... Also, I *could* create a "Help" forum section. Dunno how "Bugs and Problems" would then work like. My 2c: you should disable replies on topics in Mod Releases and create a "Modding Help" or...

I'll arrange the links somehow in the near future and call my wiki the "dev wiki", or something like that. I am a bit hesitant in calling your wiki "the minetest wiki"; but I hope I can trust in you enough. It's hard to guess who to trust when there is no money involved. :P EDIT: I will probably li...

Let me suggest a scheme here: My wiki will stay as the development / configuration reference for knowledgeable people / stufflikethat wiki, and your wiki will contain the game content, tutorials, more freeform mod listings and stuff like that. If this is fine, I hope your wiki will have a practical...

Who runs this one?

It could really use updating...

Thanks guys! The crafting stuff still needs a ton of work, but I think I'm starting to figure that out too. Sorry that I locked you out of editing the crafting page SelfishCar! :( I just needed to get the page sorted out with the templates and stuff and with 2 people editing it at the same time it k...

I just want to see a single "page" (don't care how it's done) listing all working mods with links to forum post of mod. I'm going to be very forward here, but this is not going to happen. Why? Becuase it's a ridiculous amount of work to keep updated. The only way it would realistically happen is if...

So I finally got around to finishing up the wiki I made a while ago: http://wiki.minetest.com I personally don't like the official one much, so I made my own ^-^ Right now most stuff is up, except all the individual item/block and the crafting/furnace pages. I will do those soon. The majority of con...

Shame, thanks for the answer though.

That's exactly what I was going for :D

So late last night/this morning (I have a weird sleep schedule) I was bored, so I decided to make a video showing off the new awesome sounds. Just a bit of silliness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOktUWaGRfc PS. I couldn't figure out how to embed the video, or if it's even possible. If you can ple...

Hey guys, Just thought I'd let you know that the top texture packs, top mods and top server pages are up now, so you can see the top things you guys have rated so far! Links for the lazy as always :) http://minetest.com/top-texture-packs/ http://minetest.com/top-mods/ http://minetest.com/top-servers...

i really like the picture-of-the-day idea but its probly gonna have to be picture of the month. Hey guys, While this is an awesome idea, I think we'll just stick with having one picture up there permanently. Changing it every day/month is going to get to be a huge hassle for me and I honestly don't...

Hey man,

I love that you're doing this!

Just want to ask you to send the pic to me and I'll upload it to the actual server, instead of using photobucket or something like that.

Good luck with the contest!

I could help but this is an FYI, someone's been working on a wiki for a while and by the way, I joined Minetest after I saw your fansite about 2 months ago. EDIT: I found out that I cannot add pages on the wiki. I think it's either a privilege or you didn't activate something in the software, I do ...

Hey guys,

Check it out ;)

http://wiki.minetest.com/

Nothing in it yet, I was hoping you guys could help with that :)

Also I'm terrible at making logos, as you can see.

Sax

Thanks for rating stuff guys!

Still need more votes on the mods and texture packs before I can get a "Top Rated" section up, so vote to your hearts content!

Quick links for the lazy in my sig below ^-^

Rating system and page numbers have been added :) I will add pages/sidebar featuring the top rated tex packs/mods/servers once there are more votes.

Also changed the color of the background by the titles on archive pages, old one was ugly.

Let me know what you guys think of the site now!

Wow! This is coming together really nicely already. I'm going to take a nap and then start redesigning the site :)

Death Dealer wrote:also is there anyway we could change the "older entries" into page 1 , page 2..etc?

Yeah that's one of the changes I'll be making when I redesign the site.

@ Saxony, Hey after you get the rating system implemented i think we need a section for top 10, mods and textures. just a thought. Yeah the rating system actually comes with that built in, so that will definitely be a feature :) Also I agree with RabbiBob, linking to the respective forum post inste...
