wise move imo (i also got here through your video haha), i hope it's not too overwhelming to manage! tbh the site you built is awesome and you're right to be proud and show it off! i liked that about your vid, that you actually had taken the time to make a site and weren't just some random onlooker haha. anyway sorry for the rambling comment, i wish you luck on all your things!

Makes total sense, the video's success definitely signifies a big change in the internet. Seems like a lot of people are very much willing to leave the sphere of giant tech apps now. Hope you've been managing the attention okay, you're great at what you do!

grats on all the success :) i hope its not too much to manage. at the end of the day it's like you said- the site is your personal space, so you really can just do as you please with your page. you don't have to justify or explain yourself or your actions for the site/chatroom/video/whatever. you're just one person with one site and passion project you made; so just do what you want to do and what feels right!

very understandable. this chat can be a good gateway to more persistent and more curated communities. I hate invite-only groups, but with popularity that your video has gained I think a bit of gatekeeping is necessary for now to keep trolls and thielbots out.

this totally makes sense and even when I was on there I was questioning how this was sustainable for you! if you decide to open it back up, I would do a set hour or two, and up to you on whether you'd set a consistent time/schedule it beforehand. but thank you for doing it! I probably want to write about this more somewhere but I discovered through yours that I quite like chat rooms!

like nomnom said i think its a wise move to lock everything down untill things calm down. i remember having the tab open before just to listen to the campfire and when i visted i dont think chat was ever like, to that level of activity LOL. i think its perfectly reasonable to have maybe an hour of upptime per day untill things chill out. you shouldn't feel obligated 2 keep it up if its burning you out <3

I'm thinking about buying another ThinkPad as a dedicated memory tester with just memtest86+ on the uefi and no operating system or hard drive at all... so I support you xD

gift one to me, if you need my address it's somewhere in NYC, think some place called "Newson Yarkitty" or something, might have an S in there

@onio i was hoping to hear something like that!! i started looking into quadbooting and then just figured why not get a dedicated machine that doesn't have UEFI to avoid all the issues
sure! it is https://onio.neocities.org/thebutton.gif
