PortMinetest seems to be most in favour with 32% of all votes.

PortMinetest it is! :)
So, what are your plans on design?
Modern, Cartoony, Pixel Art or something close to what is used in minetest.net?

Why, there is no ''I don't want an unofficial Minetest website that will be exactly like the forums'' option in the poll?

there is it's the "not interested" option. and it will not be like the forums on this site. So this will explain why that option does not exist.

What's the exact function of a(nother) furum-like website for Minetest?
Does the official forums, and github don't cover everything?

Well, I am interested in this project (mostly worried about it), I don't like the idea of having two forums to check, while both will, maybe not the same, but try to cover the same areas.

i think that MeseWorld will be a nice name, or nyancraft too, cause the others name reminds me to minecraft.

I think nayancraft would be a bigger hint of minecraft than portminetest witch has the highest votes right now

I don't think that's very democratic. Make another poll maybe?

When you get the front page done, could you PM me it? Even if they are just screenshots?

I don't think you should use Minetesthub or -universe or -planet. Its like admitting that we're completely copying Minecraft, and although technically it is a clone, we it should focus more on the aspects that make it unique.

Why not a name that makes people look see it more as the wonderfully moddable voxel engine it is, than as a clone to scoff at.

-MineTested
-Voxable
-VoxelBox
-Minemal
-TerraTest

Although, the idea behind it is that its an all-inclusive site that has everything, right?
-TotalMineTest

Sorry, but Minetest isn't a clone; yeah, it has voxels, and it's cubic, and what?
Minetest is a game engine, programed in Lua and C.

And it Free/Open Source.
But anyhow You can take care of Port I will take care of the hub. Since already installing phpBB3.1 and setting up other stuff.

But mostly using the same site over the years mostly gets an bit plain. But heck minetest needs grow alot more.

Since not like minetest.net will be able hold onto everything someday.

But it, won't be copying Minecraft having A Hub so on. It would be if Mojang themselves own the sites. so fair point of information. But really no one owns any domains all them are registered to a Various of Servers. since it has be saved somewhere. But the only thing about a domain nowadays is What you want it as.
I'm a Transgender no shame about it.
I prefer to be considered as a "Girl/Lady/Miss/Madam/Female" for now on.

I would really appreciate if you create mod categories on your site (like admin,travelling,...).
I just created a nearly perfect clone of an existing mod because I couldn't find it first :/

check his first comment, he said he had a domain for planetminetest. It seems he has now decided to take minetesthub because of this poll. very cheap way to go about it.

He likely got the cheap version like the other one he mention being .tk so odds are you can still claim the .com, .org and .net versions of it which are the more recognized top-level prefixes.

Yeah I did use cheap way since I don't have the money to run a .com plus sometimes To incase my plan ever goes down I will not be heavy effected.

But if want to have the minetesthub.tk or whatever did I can unregister it. And I will stick with my planet one or go with portminetest. depends.
