Neocities.org

so are 1/3 of *all* personal websites though surely

really? imo 1/3 of neocities sites are just a front page that says "ive migrated to [their website with a top-level domain] (click here to view website archive)"

i would bet 1/3 of all neocities sites are just the default page with maybe two lines and the background changed (and last updated november 2017)

oh if we're counting people who never actually did anything with their site then sites like that are probably in the 80% range

I thought it was just one page saying "Hi I'm [name] these are my socials" and nothing else.

@scifirenegade I feel like that's kind of a legitimate use of a neocities site though, an "about me" page collecting someone's links. It's disappointing but feels like less of an a tease or empty promise

God, I hate those "My name is _ here are my socials" sites. Like, just make a linktree and be done with it, it's not that hard.

realistic simulation of geocities, though! if you do not follow olia lialina on twitter, i would encourage it, she posts many great old web sites, many of which have this same message https://twitter.com/GIFmodel/status/1351053604195622914

I can't bring myself to *hate* any type of site really

Except 90s/Geocities nostalgia sites. Those are going to hell

hate nostalgia sites? careful now, them's the kind of words that'll make you enemies in this here town *tilts brim of stetson, bartender yells at me to stop pretending to be a cowboy and would you please buy a drink or get out*

@marijnflorence Well, that's most of the sites on this host. Although, I wish some "nostalgia" sites went for a web aesthetic other than 90s internet
