I'm not leaving Neocities because staying on here isn't any different from how everyone is glued to worse shitholes like Twitter, but feel free to share other free alternative hosts besides Nekoweb/Leprd + have an RSS feed on your new sites so I can continue following.

I had pretty extreme schizo-tier opinions on AI in 2022, but now I've just accepted it as an evil that needs to be regulated instead of gone completely. Drakey wakey already had a Daria-themed AI chatbot for April fool's this year, so I kinda been knew he's okay with AI. As long as our sites aren't going to be scraped by him (not Google, it already does that) I can't really care.

Neocities has felt very odd lately ever since that article resurfaced. Personally, I agree with you that it's something that needs to be regulated, but as much as we try to deny this tech it's always going to exist. I'm going to keep my site here, unless something happens where they implement some kind of code generator onto the platform that was clearly built on the hardwork of the users. (1)

I am so tired of site owners acting like all user-based content belongs to them. I don't understand why the developers of this technology don't use royalty free or public domain content, anyone can use that! (2)

My personal 9/11 (joking) was when DeviantART introduced AI and initially had everyone's art opted-in for training, I hope NC never gets evil but that's my personal straw. Drake's a techbro so he's going to have a positive view on AI for other usages besides "art"/writing. I don't love the post but it's an optimistic curiosity than "art theft and deepfakes are cool" bullshit.

Also, I thought Teacake was invite-only? I know one person migrated there by asking, so it can't hurt.

Oh man, DeviantART... I spent so many years batting for them. It was the only active place on the web that was ACTUALLY optimized for art (I had gripes with artists posting exclusively to social media and forcing me to look at compressed, muddy versions of their art sandwiched between posts that eroded my faith in humanity). I don't like the opinion expressed in the post, but if there are no plans to introduce >

I noticed something, the last person to make a comment on 123guestbook before that service shut down, has Durant as a last name, as the name the user signed under. This seems intriguing because there's also a guy named William C. Durant who founded car company General Motors. More will be explained in a comment I'll make below this one.

anyway, my reason for bringing up General Motors, or GM as it's also known under, is because they acquired a car company called Chevrolet long long ago, and well, the founder, Louis Chevrolet had a wife named Suzanne, so this somehow contributes to the synchronicity. And not to mention, Cadillac is also part of GM, and its named after a historical figure who passed away on Suzanne Somers' birthday.

It really caught me off-guard when I noticed so many coincidental things, and all this Suzanne synchronicity even stretches into masculine things like cars, even though it's traditionally a women's first name. So, that's a testament to how it CARRES LOTS OF WEIGHT. when any references to it pop up.

At first making your own HTML page might seem fun and exciting, but then, it becomes OVERWHELMING when the page keeps getting new items added to it. It's so overwhelming, that's why I have been doing fewer updates in recent times.

I can imagine, but sometimes you might end up with repeats of same-old-same-old when the webmaster runs out of ideas, and is OVERWHELMED after several HTML page revisions. I guess lots of events often interfere with our hobby, especially IRL ones.

My SEFY site has had some changes over time. It first started off as an alternative to the dying YTMND website, then it became a Matrix zone of wackiness, now it's a showcase of old computers with a hybrid of Windows 95 and Windows 3.1 aesthetics. I plan to post some QBasic code on it one day, since I've been tinkering with QBasic lately.

If you are with a partner who is a little daring, I find a sling shot quite the titillation. You can experiment with force, distance, angle etc. Some partners are a little more hesitant, especially about teeth. In those instances, I find a sport guard or even a retainer can provide the assurance needed to slip into that romantic mood

The entry page has just been updated to encourage use of the smartgb old guest book, now since the newer 123 guest book no longer functions, except for viewing an archive of old messages. I guess its good to have a "backup plan" in case something happens.

I just discovered that 123Guestbook dot com has shut down on Pamela Anderson's birthday! it kinda PUTS ME IN SHOCK since Pamela Anderson was sorta the Suzanne Somers of Canadians. Its also shocking how Pamela Bach, another Pamela shares a birthday with Suzanne Somers. David Hasselhoff has his ties to the two Pamela ladies, Anderson as co-actress on Baywatch, and Bach as past wife. Yup, two "Pamzanne" ladies LOL.
