Our upstream block storage is having issues, we're taking the front site down temporarily as a precaution. Will update this thread when things are running again.

Neocities is back next week on Tuesday night, May 19! Join us at .zip (Rotterdam) or at Sickhouse (Enschede) to work on your personal site. More info: zipspace.nl/agenda

Update on Bing: The block seems to have been removed! Sites are slowly starting to re-index. Special thanks to @ashleybelanger.bsky.social for this really helpful article and visibility. We now have a direct contact at Microsoft we're communicating with to see how this can be prevented again.

Bing has blocked neocities and all user subdomains from its search index. We’ve spent months trying to resolve this through official channels and gotten nowhere. Until this gets resolved, we are recommending that people do not use Bing. Blog post with details: blog.neocities.org/blog/2026/01...

Seriously can't believe how cool the stuff y'all make is, just mind blowing.

Please flood this thread with weird old public access shows

HTML Day in 🌸🏙️ Seoul on Saturday, August 2, 6-9pm KST Organized by New Order & After New Order afterneworder.com/htmlday

❇️!

HTML Day 2025 is made possible by the generous support of @neocities.org here to bring back the creativity and free expression to the world wide web that made it great. ❇️ neocities.org

HTML Day 2025 is this Saturday! If the idea of coding HTML in nature with fun and creative people appeals to you, see if there's a local event happening near you (or create one!)

Today we launched a more robust cache purger that should reduce the number of rare/occasional "missed" site updates. It's been well tested, but when things change bugs can happen, so if a site file isn't updating let us know, and the usual apologies in advance for any issues related to this.

On Saturday, August 2nd, 2025, we'll be gathering in places around the world to write and celebrate HTML. Join us ❇️ html.energy/html-day/202...

Anyone have some pics to contribute?

Should we implement XMPP and BitTorrent next?

Happy 900! deploy-to-neocities helping over 900 of you deploy personal websites to the real web on @neocities.org. Onward and upward 🚀

One million sites 🎉

FYI, WebDAV is currently not working, a fix is in progress. When we migrated to new code the old WebDAV code became deprecated, and it's kind of a crazy protocol so it's taking longer than expected. Apologies.

BRING IT BACK

HEADS UP: in the next hour we're resetting all login sessions, so at some point everyone will be logged off and need to log back in. Be sure to save your work! If you get logged out with unsaved changes: open another tab to login, and then go back to the editor tab and saving will work again.

To clear things up from the earlier thread: - We introduced functionality to choose to deny AI crawlers using a new default robots.txt and to promise we will never force you to use AI on Neocities. - Generated low-quality content (AI or otherwise) is considered SPAM and has always been banned.

Wanted to talk about Neocities' approach to AI. First, some new positions going forward: - We will never make you use AI if you don't want to - We will help you stop AI crawlers if you want to - We won't use false positive heavy AI blockers - We won't be "anti-AI" either and ban sites for using it

Got any fun Neocities sites to share?

Remembering when we used to have to build physical servers with GPUs and send them to datacenters for WebGL screenshot support. So much easier now (we have access to headless VPS with GPU support).

More work on improving Bluesky integration. Now you can do handle verification by adding a .well-known/atproto-did file to your site, either by hand or via the handy interface on site settings. Also.. notice the footer? We're going 100% Bluesky for updates/meme posting/@pfrazee.com trash talking.

Great piece by @looona.io. Happy to see everyone moving to Bluesky
