But I totally get why you wouldn't want to though! I just thought I'd try to help by giving my thoughts on the issue! (But if you wanted to, something like a cute pixel-art anti-piracy warning might actually look cool! I'll probably make one for myself tbh lmao)

Hrm... Weren't those anti-piracy warnings a trend as well? I wouldn't be surprised if someone just cut it out (or uploaded it as its own #scary #creepypasta #antipiracyscreen video)

@Vukky, that’s a good point! My first comment wasn’t clear, I actually had the VHS tape kind in mind, like the FBI warnings! I’d imagine those are MUCH less trendy and cute lmao

anyway remember to support small neocities sites and look through buttons pages. theres millions of sites here, dont limit yourself to the front page only. (please put me back on page 4 please)

ok its been 10 minutes im no longer full of the same hatred as i was 10 minutes ago. i am a changed person. so let me rephrase this

its not that i dont want my stuff reshared, this is the internet. but if youre going to share my stuff dont put it in a hashtag webcore compilation bc it genuinely upsets me that the years ive spent working on dokodemo has been simplified as "just a cute webcore site"

if you like what i make id rather you tell people why you like it. it's like putting someone elses art in a gallery, and not being able to explain to anyone why it's there

Not the person whom the question was directed at but as far as I know, the webmaster got doxxed and he deleted the site for safety reasons. And it’s a Page Not Found for me as well

I think I found what you're talking about! It's not the original onionroom link but it describes exactly what you're talking about: https://hocbongduhocnewzealand.neocities.org/

i know there are plenty of neocities users that would be open to helping out, completely for free. i hope kyle sees this and considers it although i doubt it.

i know one bug that has been here since day one that people always complain about are the false flags in the neocities editor. it marks completely correct code as wrong. i personally dont use it but i know a lot of people do, and when i used it it annoyed the hell out of me.

there's also one that annoys me particularly is you cant unblock someone once you've blocked them. i remember blocking a pal of mine as a joke and it wont let me unblock them. clicking the "unblock" button does nothing

sometimes you can edit someone elses comment in a thread if you edit the original comment. it doesnt save, but idk why it does that

sometimes when typing a longer post it gets cut off and you cant scroll or anything. it just gets stuck. there's also another issue with the "edit", sometimes clicking edit brings up the editor box but you cant save it

sometimes if you delete your reply to your own thread, the ENTIRE thread gets deleted. like if i deleted *this* one, the entire thing would go poof. but im not going to test it to see if it got fixed o_o

SO many issues with the comment system. here's another one. sometimes when you click edit on a post it opens an editor to every reply at once even though you cant even edit replies

While this is all true, NC is open source and you can modify the code and submit the changes to Kyle on github and he does often merge them :P Also jlehr thats not true I have a bunch of iframes that do both!

oh yeah i totally forgot that was a thing you could go on github, melon. maybe someone experienced with bugfixing could fix these bugs... (i am programming illiterate)

a guy I was in a discoed server with paid for supporter and never got it. he tried to contact neocities but they didn’t respond. Neocities never responds to anything when you try to contact them anyway

A few days ago I was looking through the Neocities GitHub page seeing if I was able to fix any bugs but it turns out Neocities its painfully hard to run locally, I'm guessing because of this many developers turn away from helping with the Neocities project too... And they never reply to issues on their issues page. :/

Personally my blog aesthetic is quite literally only how it is because I did not know ANY HTML at all.

Really nice read, and honestly I believe stealing incidents happen often bc people want to jump straight to the part where your site is all “aesthetic” and “neat” w/o any prior HTML knowledge even though it’s a solid fact that constructing a whole website from scratch takes time and effort, they’re afraid of starting w/ a site that is weaker in technical aspects or, more bluntly, looks like shit TO THEM

Neocities or personal website making platforms in general are being reduced to a visual nostalgia tool and become “for the y2k kid core aesthetic” or whatever but these kinds of users seem to miss the most important parts in this nostalgia: Originality and crafting your site with LOVE. We’re sadly the users of an Internet way too focused on looks and can’t appreciate authenticity enough.

You could look back at the steps you make while developing your site one day and remember all the improvements you made or you can brag about how cool your web corner has looked from the start when you haven’t opened your online HTML course tab and are left not knowing what a p tag is. I usually dislike gatekeeping but I’m willing to do it with fake people who refuse to make progress.
oh yeah i havent updated my buttons in ages. that would be appreciated though! :) thank you
alright!! ill get you a fixed marquee ASAP!!
here you go, most of it was just switching out old domains for new ones since some people bought custom domains or switched sites: https://pastebin.com/XGLqRtC2
