I used to want to make a VRML-style '80s-'90s mall with various stores with old games, electronics and computers on display. I'd like to be able to relive the wonder of going into Electronics Boutique and watching Atari 2600 Pitfall II's self-running demo, going into a department store and messing with the Commodore 64, going into Radio Shack and waiting for the other nerdy kid from my school to stop playing Kings Quest IV or whatever so I could have a go. I want it so that there's a Commodore 64 simulator running on a server somewhere and everyone can see it but only one person can use it at once, so maybe when you get to it the screen is full of "PENUS PENUS PENUS PENUS PENUS", and so you can pick up the boxes from the shelves and look at the back. Since then that idea has been replaced with plenty of other ones I'll never have the time to do

Oh wow I love this! I need to work up a page for my classic macs. E: here's the link https://welcometomacintosh.neocities.org/ E2: Ok the hardest part of this by far is remembering all the tags to do things that existed before CSS, since I want this site to render properly on an antique browser. corgski fucked around with this message at 05:42 on May 14, 2020 |

Are any of you guys involved in other “old/alt web” style things, like gopher, gemini? Mailing lists? BBSes? Neocities celebrates that late 90s time when everyone could suddenly make their own personal site dedicated to their dog, but I’m kinda interested in the times before that when the web was more of an exclusive techie group.

I'm not involved myself, but are you aware of the Post the very best in obsolete and failed technology and Tech Relics threads (which I find hard to distinguish)? Some of those things come up from time to time there. The blog at https://virtuallyfun.com/ sometimes covers that stuff too. That guy runs or ran a gopher server and BBS at least. What's gemini?

Every BBS I've ever logged into in the last five years operates at the rate of one post every six months, and I don't think I've seen a functioning mailing list since Yahoo Groups died. The last one I knew of was a local ring for selling pinball machines. I don't miss the early days of the web at all. People seem to have this halcyon rose-tinted view of real early internet but honestly for me it was just boring as gently caress. Maybe I was just too young. The experience of using those period authentic electronics would be worth it but I have absolutely zero desire to try and do Ye Olde Internet anymore. I totally understand why someone would want to do it, I just don't get anything out of it personally. The Internet was best when people started to be able to access it as a creative platform but before all the monetization came in. If I wanted to get into Stallman-esque arguments over obscure IT topics I could just post in YOSPOS

owlhawk911 posted:i post on a forum, sometimes drat... makes u think Gemini is another protocol like gopher. Have to admit I haven’t looked at anything on it yet because I couldn’t be arsed to boot up Linux or build a client from source https://gemini.circumlunar.space/ I was also too young to get involved in mailing lists and BBS but I really like the idea of a smaller, more personal internet. One where anonymous online identities were generally prioritised (unlike Reddit where your username is designed to be almost unnoticeable), you had a good chance of seeing the same people around regularly because there just weren’t many of them, the participants were mostly older professionals who wanted to discuss things at length. Basically, seeing the web as primarily about communication between semi-anonymous but identifiable individuals rather than as a massive collection of static sites and broadcasted “content”. I mean, yeah, these dead gay forums are actually the closest community like that which still gets regular activity

The most active one that I personally found when going through SyncTerm's "updated" BBS list was Pharcyde, and that was a few years ago so who knows. But if you find a good one, I've got my telnet fingers ready to go and play some MUDs

There was also that other website similar to terminal-based web "sites", I forgot the name of it, it was huge a few years ago and I remember you had to sign-up to get on the waitlist for available site entries. I think I got my invite like three years after I signed up or something like that and forgot all about it. Wish I could remember the name of it

I ran a hotline server for a while for the vintage Mac forum I’m on but like most other bbses around these days it saw so little activity I didn’t bother bringing it back up after a system crash.

Yeah I love telnet-ing into sdf every six months and loving around for a bit. MUDs have that same feeling of old school hacker cool but the gameplay usually sux. I guess irc is vintage as hell now too

Looks like they have web hosting supporting CGI so that's cool.

Sorry to bump old poo poo, but I bookmarked this thread ages ago because as someone who had 100 Geocities sites it made me happy. I used to run 100 anime fan sites. Anyway I finally ended up making a page today: https://docfission.neocities.org/index.html please add me to the web ring

It's gonna be great to print that on my business cards and for like $5 you can route your own domain in and quite frankly it's more compelling than all the time and money I spent setting up a static website with AWS for my portfolio

corgski posted:Go a step further and set up one of those ibm mainframe emulators lol no Shamefully I'm a 1st year IT dropout who never got a job as a computer toucher, though what skills I do have helped immensely at one job I've had. I did get a great education on basic networking when I was doing training with a telco before I got sick and everything turned to poo poo (which also put me off of starting in tech support - the whole time I was there working with home and business clients I had exactly ZERO of them who knew their password or had it written down - every single time I needed someone to log in it turned into a password reset. but I digress) anyway that network stuff has been more useful at work & home than anything I learned at uni. My stumbling block when it comes to coding & command line stuff has always been no idea what to do in practical terms with any of it. For example so far all I've done with neocities is play with <marquee>. Messing around with a public server does seem like a relatively harmless way to be forced to learn more. Or maybe I just need adderall if I'm studying which has been a credible suggestion but I really don't wanna end up abusing that poo poo. Anyway, I know enough to know that I can't pull anything off atm. Also found a nice guide for sdf noobs Introduction to Unix & SDF

The best thing to do on Neocities is have fun and be yourself, IMHO!!! I stressed out for a minute wondering what the hell I was gonna put on there and then I realised it didn't matter so I put in a bunch of skulls because I like them. I think I'm gonna make a photo album of my ACNH pictures I can't decide which retro presentation would be best so I'm skimming the photography sites. Also I put up a guestbook, PLEASE SIGN, TYVM
