I generally avoid using any forums (such as Melonland) or chatboxes on Neocities. For anyone that does: am I missing out on anything cool? Or am I okay just using this Neocities feed

I thought i would avoid them when I got here but I changed my mind I like tagging people and it’s fun to provide a chat box ambience ina way sometimes. I had a horrible experience with harassment a month or two ago with cbox that I had issues handling with a free account however.

a chatbox basically feels like a lower-effort version of a guestbook...i've considered removing mine just because having a guestbook makes it redundant. but for anyone wanting to drop a quick hello without a longer message it's nice to have

I only put one on my site so people can talk to me directly. That way nobody can ban me.

i think chatboxes/comments/guestbooks are nice for letting people who dont have a neocities account comment on your site! forms are cool for finding other people in the personal web who might not be hosted on neocities, or who may not update often enough to be easily discovered ^^ now i've never really hung out in someones chat box and chatted with other people there, but i do think forums are neat

i rarely post, but i browse the melonland forum pretty often. there's some interesting discussions as well as useful resources/guides that i wouldn't have found anywhere else

I mean having a guestbook lets other people outside of neocities have a first greeting like the activity feed similar to neocities, which there are since there's other places like nekoweb, having a guestbook is pretty nice though I haven't had a chatbox before, although forums seem pretty nice but i gotta give some a try soon

chatboxes are super cool, although they can come with downsides (also known as Trying to use CBOX) - nobody really visits them due to the fact that it's kinda random and nerve-wracking but like a guestbook it's cool to have

I see, yeah I heard people hang out frequently on onio.club but I'm a little iffy with how quickly a public chatbox can go off the rails. I think it's about time I check out the MelonLand forums though. Thanks everyone!

eh, it's a little bit of both. it's a fun way to socialize, but I grew bored. i think its strengths is in creating a community that is very passionate about a specific thing, and i just don't get passionate about stuff like that, so not much to talk about

My favorite track on your site is the one that plays on the very first screen, but I noticed it only plays whenever I go to your site from your Neocities profile, even with the refresh instructions you have. I'd recommend adding JavaScript for the welcome page that tries running .play() again whenever there's another click anywhere on the page

She made a post about how her irl friends found her site. I don't think she was happy about it. I hope she's OK.

She's probably ok. At least I hope. She mentioned that she was thinking about deleting her site and that's probably what happened. I will miss her :(

Oh I've been on her website before, didn't interact with her but it looks like the website is down so it's been deleted, I've had an irl acquaintance find my website and ask me about one of the things I made but didn't care about the scalie-ness of me anyways, but I hope she's okay

Recently found out from brachypelmide that I'm following 192 people. The cool thing about that is that it's actually not overwhelming at all, because most people don't update their site every single day. If I was following 192 people on a standard social app where people can't really do anything but post, I would probably be drowning

That's what makes Neocities such a goated place. The people here are a lot more creative and they also know when to take breaks from the internet

this is so real, im following so many people because i genuinely like their sites and want to see when they update, but my feed is not at all overhwelming. granted some people have not updated their site in years, but if they do come back I'll still be able to see it!

I like it because it’s a much more realistic depiction of a creative process. Social media encourages it to be fast and perfect but this format lays out a nice realistic timeline

Yeah this also makes art get burried as well, there's a reason why you see people repost their own stuff, in addition you can still see their changes later if you visit again which I like
