What happened to https://thedonald.neocities.org ? The site and its associated Neocities account no longer exist. What a shame -- it was quite the funny site.

That's quite unfortunate, because in the case of thedonald.neocities.org, at least, it was very clearly a humor site pretending to support him, and not at all a serious endorsement of Trump.

Good to hear, thanks for looking into that. I get a little paranoid about this stuff sometimes since these days damn near every site (or at least the big ones) will ban you for the stupidest reasons, such as having incorrect opinions. Serious business indeed.

The Neocities team have shown themselves to have a distaste for Donald Trump: https://blog.neocities.org/blog/2017/04/27/net-neutrality-plan.html I'd HOPE that they wouldn't delete people's sites just because they disagree with them, but who knows.
I just contacted Neocities with an inquiry regarding that site's deletion.

Also, Robert, following your example, I will do the same.
I doubt Kyle deleted it, the person running it probably just got bored of the joke.
