Neocities.org

I love it, lol

what a diabolical prank !!

I still can't believe they pulled the end of eva card on us. There is still a meme on my site somewhere mocking how F+F went out.

i kept forgetting to tell you about that post! :P i kept going "i need to tell swiftred about the support network post. right after i make this change. hang on i need to add a new section. hang on i need to get something to eat. hang on what was i doing?" XD

where is that post?

reading this has turned some gears to consider running linux on something other than my rasberry pi

Damn, that’s wild. I’m not sure if it’s helpful at all but I recalled this article on it https://ballonlea.net/articles/federi. It doesn’t really talk about or show how it was configured, but rather details the drama and how it came to an end

Just until recently, I still had an old site update they had commented on trying to recruit me, lol

mine happened here https://neocities.org/site/badgraph1csghost?event_id=3269354 the sad bit is, i never even finished that page :P

It’s interesting how the site comments stay after the profile is gone, and you can see in the thumbnail kind of what their site looked like. Just, weird and surreal lol. I want to say it felt like they were this new and upcoming thing when they’d reached out to me— maybe December of 2023? seeing them comment on really new sites. I think they had a tier system based on account size? I hardly paid any mind

Anyway, when I first saw your F+F memorial it gave me a little chuckle

I think I must have totally missed this drama since I was only working on Neocities stuff sporadically back then. Reading up on it now, it's pretty wild someone actually thought a social media-brained scam like that would work on here.

I did find an article recounting the whole kerfuffle, complete with some screenshots. There's even a screenshot of what the F+F page looked like https://crackworths.neocities.org/federiefederi

this must of been WAYYYY before I joined neocities.... (I always thought that memorial was literal LMAO)

@smokoswebzone oh, that explains the wayback machine. they basically dmca'd their own archives.... well, great post everyone (again, not sure why i thought this would be a valid use of time today but w/e)

@jaidenle yeah the f+f drama happened last april. i do kinda feel sorry for them. they totally brought it on themselves, but from about nov '23-jan '24 it was fun. the memorial is literal a bit, 'cos as long as we remember f+f we wont try to commodify neocities.
