Neocities

if you had to introduce neocities to someone by using only one site, which would you show them?

this is a good question but a hard one! I think what's so cool about neocities is that there is no "one" way to run or design a website, so only showing them ONE would be reductive haha... but I guess I would probably pick one of the earliest ones that I saw on here, dokodemo (especially w the old layout), because the homepage is such a culture shock for someone Just coming off of Twitter or another site like that.

the boringly obvious answer is A.N. Lucas' web lounge. Most obvious and accurate to explain to someone what it is and the prevailing site culture. if it was someone whose tastes were similar to mine, though, and I wanted them to stick around? probably you or bikobatanari or bogleech, to present it as more of a hosting platform to put cool work in ANY format that appeals to your personal style

(vs just a place for the old web ~aesthetic~. AN Lucas describes the overall vibe best; you three demonstrate what I personally feel is the ideal usage: simple, clear, endlessly customizable presentation of creative content.)

I think I would also have to say A.N. Lucas as their website is not TOO big to new people to overwhelm them, but not too small to make them disappointed, plus I feel like it gets the V I B E S of the whole host down quite well

yeah there was! it was small but ppl had a lot of fun, the neocitizens who participated the most in figuring out the puzzle got their names on the fauux site https://hosma.neocities.org/9/index.html

fauux actually made a second one a while ago but no one has solved it yet and I think everyone sort of gave up

i wish neocities had more ways of knowing how much engagement you're getting on your site than likes on posts and the kinda buggy site traffic thingy, especially if you want to know how many views you have on a specific page

i know this isn't twitter and all but ough,,, :P

i should probably make my 404 page a bit less eyestrain-y, though i love the animation i think the colors could be toned down a bit ^_^

my quest to keep the site sort-of up to date with my art continues. Five pieces, titled "Let it roll", "C'mon, you just have to see this!", "A52 SUMMIT album cover", "New animals", and "Ryan vs. Heartbreak" have been added to the gallery! check em out at https://encounters-ltd.neocities.org/portfolio.html, and please enjoy it!! :D
