Idea: Update credits area

[leahcimto]

The credits area in the footer currently says "This website was made by -Accio- (Accio1 on Github) and NilsTheBest (NilsTheBest on Github) on behalf of the Forum Helpers", however, there are some other users who have helped this website, like the people in the forum helpers organization, and others who are not in that list.

Thanks for creating an issue for this. I have mentioned it in the to do list for the site overhaul ( #35 ) (Make sure to check out and post in the new discussion section of this repository!). I was thinking that there could be either:
a) A credits page that shows who has contributed to the site
b) Badges next to people's names on the List of Forum Helpers page which link to their GitHub profile when clicked and display a tooltip indicating that the person helped code the website when hovered over.

Which one of those would you prefer?

@Accio1 I think the first option would be easier, but the second option would probably look nicer. I would go for the second option, however this will most likely be harder to implement. What do you think?

@leahcimto I would also prefer the icons but I'm not sure how easy it will be to pull off. I will try both options and choose the one that is more realistically possible.

I honestly think taht the credits should have their own page and the footer should have page links and such, like Scratch's. But yeah, I understand that it's fine just the way it is.

@MTM828 @leahcimto maybe a combination of both? There could be badges indicating someone has helped with the site, and then a credits page with a more detailed description of each contributor?

I like that idea 👍

@Accio1 Yeah, yeah, great idea!

Just throwing this out there, we could also use something like this. I know that ScratchAddons was able to make it so the bot also puts things on their credits page, not just the readme.

Are there any more ideas on this?
