Feels very weird, especially after checking the page source:
/*
Count down until any date script-
By JavaScript Kit (www.javascriptkit.com)
Over 200+ free scripts here!

on 5/30/2006 to count down to a specific date AND time,
and on 1/10/2010 to include time zone offset.

I mean, I get not reinventing the wheel, but given who they are, the fact that they're sourcing scripts from JavaScriptKit.com for something as simple as a countdown timer is odd. It's not even a good countdown script... like, it even has a y2k bug:
var today=new Date();
var todayy=today.getYear();
if (todayy < 1000) {
todayy+=1900; }
Kudos for not just stripping the attribution I guess, but I wouldn't trust whoever put up that website with my email, encryption or no.
- insertnickname 10y agoMaybe it's just because he never bothered to learn JavaScript. The old website was pretty simple.
- chias 10y agoPerhaps. But if you're copy-pasting scripts from other sources into your platform without [being capable of] vetting them, then it fundamentally undermines the security of the platform.
