Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer... those names just teem with romance, don't you think? What's the most popular browser now? "Google" "Chrome". A meaningless word and a boring metal. Implied is no more exploring, no more adventure. No wonder things are like they are!

My mad quest towards ABSOLUTE backwards compatibility continues: old browsers that can't render PNGs are now served GIFs instead (in progress). Don't you worry, I'll write about this someday

My compatibility intends to go as far as terminal browsers + the OG DS (altho the DSi/OG DS can already load my website if it werent for forced-HTTPS, I just will have to announce support whenever I can self-host bc the day I host myself is the day i dont require HTTPS anymore)

Oh, so that's why your site looks like that. Do you have a picture of how it renders on a DS?

@dc-blog i dont believe I do sadly, tho if I can find one I will try to find it (my current layout is similar to the old one, just blue instead of gray, and the gray one i think i have an archive of somewhere on DS)

The heirs of the Cidoku fortune will wage eternal war to the heirs of the capstasher fortune for generations over Sealand claims. War has changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of sea battles, fought by Neocities mercenaries and vintage computers. War--and it's consumption of life--has become a well-oiled machine. War has changed.

They can be vectors or bitmaps, it doesn't matter. But Flash is a vector drawing program; bitmaps have to be imported, so I don't really use them too much

Either way what I'm saying, Cidoku, is you should totally buy a title from Sealand. The reason I am Lord capstasher, is because someone I once knew bought me one of those fake Scottish lordships, and its amazing to have. Pull a Lord Miles and add it on your bank card

A few autists assembled together a Discord server for it, and the work started. I ran the propaganda department, making posters, and discussing plans with the other members.

Eventually, we reached the idea that we ought to start with a balloon, as research into amateur rocketship proved it to be an expensive endeavour

2 likes

capstasher 2 years ago

So okay, balloon it is. But we ought to make it in such a way we can earn money for the next stage of the program

2 likes

capstasher 2 years ago

So what would earn money? A sponsorship! How do we get a sponsorship? By livestreaming from onboard the balloon! But what could we stream other than the outside? Now that got us thinking

2 likes

capstasher 2 years ago

What would we put inside to make the stream engaging? It has to be something very 4chan specific.... A swastika? Nah, that would bar us from the sponsorship. (But wouldnt being a group of 4channers also block us from a sponsorship? Not necesarrily! Not if they didn't know >:] You see, 4CSP would, internally, stand for 4chan Space Program, but externally we would claim it to be 4 Corners Space Program)

We shall track the vitals of the frog throughout the balloon flight! Lets say its a study of how altitude affects amphibians or something of the sort, we'll justify it post-hoc, it would just be cool to send a frog into space.

Engineering department was hard at work! Meanwhile, our outreach team started brainstorming a very important question: Where do we even launch this from? Why, Sealand of course! So our outreach leader reaches out to Prince Regent Michael Bates. And we heard back! Sadly the last email in the chain i have is what our response was to their response: https://capstasher.neocities.org/4csp-5.jpg

Sadly, Sealand never replied after that. That was the end of our only location possibility. And slowly, as the amazing Sealand plan died, interest slowly started dying too. We had a mascot! By my own design as well! Her name was Stella (no relation to the beer). She was featured on the very first 4CSP poster! And do please keep in mind, I was like 15 when i made this in Picsart on my ANTIQUE Android

So Prince Michael agreed? LMAO. Not a lot of people even can go to Sealand; you guys journeying there when you aren't "influencers" or with the news would have been such a story to tell. I don't have such lofty ambitions as you had, but adventure calls you know.

There's other bits and bobs leftover from this, but this is about as much of the story itself that I recall. It was 7 years ago. I might make a page to document this all. End of tale for now, dear friends

Some last things left are: I actually got the specific patch Stella has on the 2022 poster, specifically to sew it on a blue hoodie. Her t-shirt is supposed to be a parody of Atari, called Atree, with the kanji for tree above it, as it was similar to the Atari logo

As of now, my personal website works almost perfectly with or without the CSS. As for Venith, it's even better as it truly works without CSS in any capacity (and on the homepage, it uses well-crafted tables so it's not even bunched up together despite no CSS).
