I'd actually known about Neocities since 2014 (I made a really bad account at potassiummcr.neocities.org and I never got back to it.) I decided to make another one that was better because I was interested in it. This was around September 2017. My old account was deleted, and I made a very angry blog post about it, but it's on the Wayback Machine if you want to embarrass me.

i was obsessed about 90s internet and dead sites. i wanted to have a place internet, so i gave it a go. my original url was full of unecessary hypens and embarrassment. over several months, i’ve made many redesigns. i remember when i had those gifs. (　ﾟдﾟ)

quite honestly, i found neocities through people's twitter about pages, after everyone got tired of twpf and listography. i'd always loved making websites from neopets and then tumblr though, so it was just easier to make a website on neocities instead of cheating and hosting it on tumblr.

I think I just found it on Google and decided to make a site in 2015. Later in 2016 I was into old Geocities sites and I remembered Neocities so I created coolman. Then for like a billion times I moved sites and I'm in (hopefully) my final form of jackomix.

A friend had a site that looked very cool and HTML didn't seem too hard, so I joined on Janaury 1st 2018 and since then have made several changes to my site. Have had a great ride so far and met a lot of cool people here!

I wanted to learn html but quickly lost interest. Not for the site though. That's why it's so primitive.

I have used a lot of webshosts in the past, but all of them were drag and drop BS, IDK how I _really_ found out about Neocities, I must have just been looking around online for good webhosts

Basically it was 2015, and was pissed that there were a lot of dead geocities links to the places I was trying to visit, so in my research and travels, I found out about not one, but two websites. The first one was geocities.ws, which looked cool as a geocities paritial archive.. but kinda shady as a hosting service (I was practicing HTML for coding competition back then, so hosting was a plus), but then I saw neo...

...neocities. It looked nice, had a blossoming community of cool websites, and was really inspiring and cozy. So I jumped right on in. Like owlman I did/do have other sites. Before neocites I "ran" a blog on wordpress, a games website on webs, and a few HTML websites using dot.tk domains (I got in there before spammers/hackers found out about it) and Google Drive hosting. After google drive killed the hosting...

Neo just seemed like the best option for testing, building, and just overall shenanigans (no ads or overlays!!!! BIG PLUS). So I jumped right in! (sorry for the long msg lol)

I used to write on wordpress and I got tired of the ads and the rigidity of the free themes and how the entire layout trashed when I tried looking at it in a text-only browser like lynx. plus, I wanted to make things like my 'weirdiverse' (basically website shitposts) and wordpress doesn't allow for custom html or css :(

Since everybody's posting music they deem noteworthy, I followed suit. Tell me if I'm doing it right. Also, tattoo experiments! Not on oranges this time!
