Nils Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 Maybe it's about time the front page is updated, especially the "features" page:http://torque3d.org/engine/#featuresAnd perhaps a feature list pinned on the top in the forums.The outside world seems to still think about the T3D of 2012, I believe...

noemen Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 True, if possible, I want to participate in the improvement. Quote
Bishop Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 Yes, that would be great...the front site needs upgrading. Quote
LukasPJ Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 I think this is the link:https://github.com/crabmusket/Torque3DLandingPageDon't know if it's active though Quote
Duion Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 The website is dead, but the guy is very active, maybe transfer the repo to someone who wants to maintain it. Quote
marauder2k9 Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 I could design a new website for torque. On an unrelated note though is there going to be a section for resources just for torque 2d? u know the way the resources section is split out for like visuals gui etc might be good to have a section for torque 2d as well Quote
Nils Posted September 16, 2019 Author Posted September 16, 2019 I posted this comment because the current site is all indexed and ranked by Google. Big chunk of new visitors will eventually see that page when wanting to know what the engine can do. Showing outdated info is never good; regardless what personal opinions are of long-time T3D users, who never read it in the 1st place.Surely you could start a new project, but takes time and free time; which is a rare commodity if you ask meWhy not updating the current one and work on a new page in the meanwhile. Popping up a Wordpress page or 2 is peanuts, but before we agree on something a year will have passed and so version 4.0 onto the next. Quote
Duion Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 I know from experience that changing the current website too much is harmful for new visitors, meaning you will get ranked less in the search engine, especially if you remove stuff and create dead links. So you really should change the current site and not create something new, adding stuff is okay, but not removing. Quote
Tony Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 This is being done actively right now. Having up to date features would be a huge plus along with better SEO and both are being done, sadly it took a bit to get to this point but at least we're here now. On the note of changing the current website too much being harmful, it depends, if you have forwarding links from the old content locations to the new ones it helps but in the case of Torque3d.org the website already has such a poor SEO rating that a complete wipe probably would be totally fine.
