I had issues with the ruby gem the last few times I tried to install it (SSL certificate issue, I think?). Whatever it was, I did cursory research, realized it would take some time to sort out, and just went back to my MacGuyver setup.
Thank you for the kind words! I'll be building out the shmup section a bit, stay tuned :)
Exact date of December the 12th, 2012 depends on the correlation constant with the Maya calendar, which still isn't determined with certainty.
You'll definitely be added next update! We thank you for the suggestion but are currently not looking to change the site. :)
Good you haven't made an update yet! There was no button for the website, but my friend made one: https://soupault.neocities.org/images/powered_by_soupault.png
We're sorry but we only list 88x31 buttons on districts - it's always been that way and we don't plan to change it, for the sake of simplicity and consistency. We can still list your site anyway, of course.
The 88x31 version is ready: https://soupault.neocities.org/images/powered_by_soupault_88x31.png Also, the reason I missed that requirment is that it's not stated anywhere. Please add it to the guidelines.
Thank you! We will add that next update, it hasn't really been stated anywhere due to the fact that 90% of site buttons are that size anyway but it really should’ve been in our FAQ.
I thinking about that as well. Though I also thinking Tokyo, basically I am writing book based on Anime series
Almost certainly Tokyo and possibly Stratford, seeing as your site is about writing and Japanese media! We usually prefer our listed sites to host their content on-site, rather than externally (i.e. deviantART) but seeing how many pages you have we can probably let that slide here.
Thanks for replying! The reason of being somewhat Externally is because it more easier to post at dA and WattPad rather then code the entire chapter each by each and it would be very tiredsome. Also it would save some space as being non-supporter. I try to add more fun page for vistor to mess around and such.

I was going to ask you a few questions about JAUP, then I realized, I've been meaning to interview people on Neocities via email, this might be a good time to start. Are you up for it?
sure
Is it a clone of the original JAUP, or you ran the original and revived it now?
It's a clone. For a brief 3 year or so period of time from 1996 until around 1998 [name redacted] was the webmaster of the original JAUP. It was a very fun period of time. GeoCities and other free host sites were in thier heyday. You could get your site listed on a couple of search engines, sites like this and other award sites just by asking and soon you would get thousands of hits!
I never knew [name redacted] personally, but my original site was listed in JAUP back in the day. I found it on the Internet Archive back when I was making my NeoCities site and I decided to revive it and try to recreate the fun of the early days of the World Wide Web
