No need to self-link

[notpushkin]

There's a link in footer that leads to the same page. I don't know if we need it, but chances are it's redundant.

Thanks @iamale, but I think this is purposed and personally i wouldn't change that either. It's a consistent footer across the most "web services" of PT. If anyone of the team disagree, reopen this issue :)

Hmm, seems logical. But there are some flaws.

1. In fact this footer is present only on main website (index, FAQ, ToS) and blog pages. No footer on status page, no footer on forum (I guess this should be separate issue).
2. This link duplicates the Popcorn Time logo functionality (on the left), as it links to the same page, so it's really not needed.
3. Even if you leave it, the icon is ambiguous. Octocat = 'our page on GitHub', Twitter bird = 'our Twitter', Pochoclin = 'our page on Popcorn Time'? Strange.

P. S. I won't reopen, as I'm not 'from the team', neither I can mention the team (the org has no public members), so it's up to you. :smile:

My thoughts on this:

1. Correct, but it wouldn't make sense to add a footer in Discourse because its built for endless scrolling to reload new content. So you wouldn't reach the end of the page anyway except for for meta pages and discussions that doesn't have that much posts. But as you already said: should go into a new issue :)
2. I don't have a problem with that "redundancy" at all actually, but I get your point.
3. See it like this: "Our GitHub profile", "Our Twitter account", "Our web site".

@xeoncore what do you think?

True, but to be honest, no one will really care if its there twice. The idea was to use a standardized footer across all our platforms so that it was consistent and familiar to our users.

If it is really a big issue, it can be changed, but I don't have a problem with it.

Fine then.
