Did the main site change???

[rubenwardy]

I just removed the swearing.

I am not sure how to implement a random quote without PHP, I will leave that to c55 or Blockmen, if they want to do that.

Great, thanks!

I'm experienced in PHP, I'd be happy to help with that if you like.

Well, can you important html/js? Surely one of us could write up javascript to do it, I could.

Eh, I'm not against javascript in particular, but I know plenty of minetest people who are.

This website itself uses javascript... Also the main website does already too....

Oh. In that case, go ahead. I'm not against it.

Did you mean to put that there?

I did, but was meant to remove it, it was for debugging purposes.

[celeron55]

If people come up with multiple good quotes for that randomizer, I will add it there.

Why are you using 'jquery' rather than '$'?

Why are you using 'jquery' rather than '$'?

I just copy-pasted that part from JMR's code

[Novacain]

I don't think the "Flying around in a UFO" quote is suitable. It did put me off a bit. Maybe consider using another one? ;) Also the text "Minetest is developed by a random bunch of lunatics." isn't very appealing, although it may be true, maybe word it differently. "Minetest is developed by a random group of developers who have a passion for games"?

I prefer a more clean look on a website, but I think the minetest website could do with being more responsive. I am also a web designer and responsive web design is getting more crucial.

I personally like the "Radndom Bunch of Lunatics" it adds flavor. not to mention when you see it, you can't help but laugh. this is a game, not buisiness software. as for the quote, although I don't like the profanity, now it lacks sufficient flavor. there needs to be a little more description. is "crap-ton" too much for the main site?

No, We've always been at war with Eastasia.

When using jquery on the mintest main page:
"DEPRECATED function call $(). Please use the jQuery() function instead. "
