When signing the petition, please use a valid neocities username otherwise I have to remove your signature! I would have made the petition just require a email address but the neocities username field is there for verification purposes because this is supposed to be a petition for people with a neocities account.

A petition on Google Forms? How would this even work? AI isn't even implemented officially in Neocities, and there's no evidence it will ever be.

As if the creator of this host site would be interested in using AI for something as intricate as web design and HTML/CSS coding.

...yeah... I kinda agree with this I'm sorry y'all, if AI gets implemented and scrapes stuff I'll leave but it doesn't seem to be happening now or planned. hope not at least

If you read what is stated on the home page, you'll find the reasons why this petition started and why there are people signing it. Just stating that something isn't the case and will never be seems to be glossing over if not outright ignoring that.

which is funny because there has already been AI on the site in the past and the idea is only "on hold" as of 3 months ago.

As for how the petition works: signatures end January 18th 2025, signatures get sent to Kyle Drake on January 19th or 20th.

... So at the end of the day, it's still up to Kyle to manage his webhost how he wants. Got ittttttt

Like I'm not meaning to sound mean here, but this literally makes no difference, Kyle Drake already knows most people don't want AI on Neocities.

If the petition does well and Kyle decides to ignore it and add AI back anyways, there will likely be even more of a migration from this site to alternatives and self hosted webservers. You are correct that Kyle gets that final say on the matter however it's not really a wise idea to ignore something like this if you don't want to upset your community.
Hello, people reading this! Do *you* want to keep Neocities free from Generative AI? If so, you should go sign this petition (and share this petition so others know about it!)

I hope I entered mine correctly!
Yeah there is caps there, I'll have to remember to fix your username when I add the signatures to the list I send to Kyle.
