I figured that was the case, I knew he wanted to move on to 3D in 2010 but I assumed the domain expired :(

I agree with you on many significant points here. I myself have no plans to leave this site, having just arrived (on 4/20, no less!). I would say my perspective on the situation is the same as yours. Since the blog post by this person is a year or so old, I am surprised there's a "situation" about this at all, but I guess it is a good discussion to have.

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.

sakana 8 months ago

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 >

This is the shittiest page I ever made (technically wrote it last week and just sat there), but I have a draft in progress and am still focusing on art after work.

I actually like X-E's old layouts! I didn't realize that I was subconciously inspired by them until I reread some archived reviews.

hardmachine 10 months ago

Burning questions: Does it go in the OC folder if they've been retired but could potentially come back? Do I make an individual folder for each (even if there's one or two images) or just have it in the root UNTIL I draw enough to need a folder? I am going to shoot myself.
