Quick post since I've started to notice this happening, my Guestbook is not a place for you to advertise your own websites and social medias, I've noticed people have been starting to use my Guestbook not to send actual messages to me but rather to advertise their own websites / accounts on social media. Any further advertising posts will be deleted.

It's my birthday! I'm 21 now, and this is the only opportunity I have to make this stupid joke; I'm now 9 + 10 years old.

I feel so guilty for the fact I haven't updated my site properly in Over a year, but to be truthful, Life is just hitting me really hard with illness. I always think about this site, and if I could I would work on it all the time, chronic illness moment.

At the least, I've been feeling good enough today to finally get some bugs and issues out of the way that've been annoying me for ages.

nothing to feel guilty for! this is your hobby first and foremost and you don't owe anyone updates. I think personal web culture is much more accepting of hiatuses and there isn't that social media expectation to post everyday anyways. I understand being frustrated you can't work on something you want tho, but ur site will always be there ^^

@solaria Thank you! It is more so just personal frustration than anything lol. My brain still isn't quite used to being chronically ill and still thinks I can work the way I used to -.-; I've always been a workaholic, it's an old mindset I still struggle to curb haha

Hey, uhh I hope I'm not making this about myself, but I'm glad to see there's someone else out there who is also not updating their website as often as they wished because of illness. I hope we can get through this.

@fh102 That means so much to hear... It's genuinely really nice to know folks are thinking about me, thank you 🥺 - @corruptedunicorn Don't worry, you're not making it about yourself, just sharing your own experience. I wish you the best of luck too!

I'm genuinely not sure why people are doing this, is my site really that popular? I don't know, but regardless it's really not appreciated. My Guestbook is meant as a place for you to get in touch with me specifically, whether it's to leave a quick compliment or ask a question. If you really want people to visit your site, advertising on guestbooks is not the way to go. People will find your work with time naturally.
ugh i hate when ppl do shit like this :/ self advertising on someone elses site is Always rude, doesnt matter if youre a spambot or a real person
ive been getting bombarded with porn bots posting shady links so i had to set my guestbook to by approval only, ive nevr really gotten people givng self promotions but i feel like changing the setting deters that behaviour
