Don't redirect everything to pouet.net

Apart from my personal preference for www.pouet.net instead of pouet.net, the current redirect mechanism is flawed:

  • I think it was intentional that pouet was also available through pouet.scene.org, quite possibly to circumvent some firewalls at people's work places. At least that's the reason I remember.
  • The redirect is broken. http://www.pouet.net/search.php?what=hot%20stuff&type=prod redirects to http://pouet.net/search.php?what=hot%2520stuff&type=prod

I would recommend to use canonical URL metatags like Gargaj implemented them in pouet 2.0: https://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=139394 The advantage of these is that you can also get rid of indexing the same page several times, e.g. a prod page with different comments per page counts.
