The Neocities DNS shutdown taught me to never use Namecheap. Guess I'll try Porkbun if I want a domain for here or Bsky.

I swear I wasn't paid to post this, but there's a new site for commissions and vendors as an alternative to Vgen and Etsy (etc.): https://artistalley.org/

I'm on it as a commissioner and it's very good, could use some tweaks but it's in progress. Mostly MLP people so far but if you sell merchandise or do commissions it's worth applying to.

How do you manage webmastering when working 40hr weeks. Good lord.

It went from "I can't maintain this site because of bad memories" to "I can't maintain this site because I'm constantly at work and too physically fatigued to sit at my desk". I can't even answer Discord DMs or emails timely anymore.

Been there, I usually noted down what I wanted to update and updated on the weekends (or way too late into the night). But, you shouldn't feel the obligation to update. Keep it at your own pace, y'know?

As someone in the same position, you can't. Not consistently, anyway, unless you move it up your priority list.

Man the crazy part is I don't have weekends because my schedule varies by week LOL... I try to chip at something when I'm not doing errands on days off but it feels Joever. My convention vacation in a few weeks is guaranteed to lead to new material though.

Attention all kino enthusiasts: I started using one of my old tumblr urls from 2012 to upload tamers12345 clips. Check out my awesome side blog. https://chewties.tumblr.com/

I'm debating on making a Bsky alt to post these on because that site is too safe edgy.

I also just want to know who fucks with Tamers on here :(

I have briefly returned for the old man zoomer's birthday. I have a long page in progress related to year of the fire horse. Otherwise I work 40hr weeks now and have a fun vacation happening next month. Don't be dumb or I'll shoot you.

I missed work today due to physical exhaustion, so I tried to set up a deployable Git repo to make uploading/deleting images easier. I couldn't understand the instructions and just stopped.

I've alluded to this before, but I'm going to get into it again. I don't think I'm going to update this site as much as I did 2-3 years ago. The elephant in the room is obvious. Years ago I had multiple friend groups and a partner to motivate me, I don't have that anymore. After I lost that I was thrust into a family-financial issue and I'm juggling trying to make offline friends and work full time.

I'm this close to giving up on the former, honestly. I have a hotel room reserved for a con in June, but I'm so fucking tired of life and various bullshit, I went back to social media. And not gonna lie, this community often irritates me so much. It discourages me to work on a site I have little physical energy for and only 3 people will see.

Having a zoomer spiel onto an unrelated status update last month and getting schizo emails convinving me to delete my site and get into crypto reminded me why I stopped checking here. (Don't tone police me, I don't care.) And I'm also tired of pretending my last relationship ended on good terms when it fucked me up. It's nobody's problem but mine, but it's another reason I avoid NC.

I'm turning off profile comments for awhile because it frustrates me and I don't like how the activity feed is diet Twitter. The guestbook and email is open but I'm slower to respond and less patient for random soapboxing. It's frusting how much I self-censor only for other people to mindlessly rant at me.

Thank you for the book recommendation! I wanted to read more books on ADHD but there's just so goddamn many from so many different years trying to prove so many different points, it was just totally overwhelming. ADHD nation looks to be what I'm looking for!

I came out of the book with a whole new conclusion about the disorder itself. The book is very sad at times and could use a new edition to discuss ADHD post-pandemic but it completely blew my mind.

I'm also tired of people taking venting over not wanting to maintain this site as an opening into pushing me to delete it. Neocities does not take up a portion of my life. I don't devote my time to it.

I know I also promised a new page, but I haven't had time to finish it. I'm not the same person I was when I fell in love with Neocities 4 years ago. I have two drafts that are over 1k words and finishing either is like pushing a boulder over a hill.

I also had a new rune in progress, but it's very long and kind of "meaty" so... it unfortunately won't be finished or published before the con :/ Ironic, since last month's con inspired it.

Tumblr is shooting itself in the foot harder and Bluesky is a panopticon... Wonder if indie spaces will get a resurgence again before everyone goes crawling back.

I don't use Tumblr for creativity but I'm really rattled by this update. This site is still retired but I have a draft in progress that should be done before the con.

it will take years and it will be slow. (if it does happen) people dont want to change, ive noticed people who hate elon musk that still use twitter. I see people who hate tumblr but use it anyway. Not a single one of these people have had the idea to move or make their own sites nor do they want to. It'll be slow, and it when it does happen people are going to be very unhappy about doing it. I love it, personally.

icandoanything 2 months ago

Why insisit on using social media anyways? If they cant follow you onto your own site are they truly fans of your work? Ive seen people switch to (starting from) deviantart, tumblr, twitter, bluesky, newgrounds, ect. All for their posts to be flooded with random reposts or tangents. I like myself a tangent. I like reading blogs, but why are you posting your important artwork,videos,ect, on someone elses site while

icandoanything 2 months ago

blogging? what do they even want out of these sites? I have tried to play with their fiddles and i couldnt keep contorting anymore. Humans have been creators since the dawn of creation yet we're forcing ourselves to ride with althorigms all while putting our neurons on display for every number you could imagine on your screen. It doesnt even have to be a real person. Its just the idea of one. All for someone elses

website and wallet, and you get their little shitdriplings of money while theyre making more than you could think you could ever imagine having in your life. Fantasies cant compare. Why even do it? What is the positive? I truly and deeply do not understand. I am a NOBODY. I am NOTHING. And even I have two dedicated fans that i have never met. And i do not post on social media anymore. What is the point? If i can do

icandoanything 2 months ago

This the way im doing it, everyone else could, too. And for people who are creating anything? They do not care. They will not care, if they did, they would've created something already. Something big will happen that will force everyone out of these sites, and the mess will not be fun. It is for the greater good. I am hopeful but i do not see it happening soon. Neocities needs longer comment limits.

I'm in the camp of using sites I dislike and it's mainly because it's where an actual community is. I get what you're saying but I don't really agree and even wrote my own "piece" about it. I don't expect anyone to agree, but I've dealt with unsuccessful migratons for 20 years and I'm over it. https://capyhaus.neocities.org/runes/exodus.html

I also was referring to a temporary spurt of activity, not a full move.

icandoanything 2 months ago

i agree with ur post/page but i think you misunderstood my point, not saying for people to go to obscure sites (i cant even find any) im saying make your own, foster your own community. I agree, jumping to site is annoying and does not work. But if your main hub is someone elses social media site, what are you going to do if it gets deleted? Your fans and everything will be gone, you have no back up.

icandoanything 2 months ago

Its getting so bad ive been seeing people move to TELEGRAM!!!!!! TELEGRAM!!!!!!!!!!! Oh just make your own site at that point. This cat and mouse game needs to stop somewhere

capyhaus 2 months ago

This section is not good to hold an actual conversation but I don't agree with you. Frankly a short blurb wasn't the space for a rant from a complete stranger. Because I've also mentioned how difficult it is to try to build a community by myself, get people to make websites, etc. and nobody jumping on board.

capyhaus 2 months ago

Putting your eggs in one basket is the real issue. I have a site as an archive or creative sandbox and have some socmed sites to talk to people, because I want to be in communities instead of working on a page 3 people will see and not join in. I'm not responding to this thread anymore when it's hell to look at on mobile lol.

Debating on how many Capy stickers to bring to TFF at the end of March... this site is functionally abandoned so it might be false advertising to give away all 100, maybe I should settle for 25 on Friday and see how it goes?

i've SOMEHOW never had guinea pigs but degus make some similar vocalizations and it's adorable! they can be snuggly like rats, although that's less common even if they're still friendly. on average, they live a lot longer than rats, which is a major plus point. i can't begin to count how many times rats have broken my heart. ;__; degus are a lot less stinky than rats but they're also a lot messier, lol

to compare degus' longevity with rats: the oldest degu i had (Chappu) lived to about 8 years old. Deanna's about 6 now. Diego and Charlie were the most rat-like in temperament, but ironically and sadly the similarities even extended to both of them each suddenly dying young (≤2 years), but i suspect that was bc of genetic fuckery due to inbreeding. :<

The short lifespan of rats is why I can't have another :( Too much heartbreak in a short span of time. My late piggy lived to 5 years. I'm glad some pet rodents can live a decently long time.

I'm considering just leaving it online but "delisting" it, or even moving it to a different site somehow. But I've also felt frustrated navigating social spaces online and offline again and it might be worth returning to as an outlet to share "heterodox" thoughts.
