Title: Hey netizens, there's a new kid on the block
Post by: yot on June 18, 2022, 10:32:45 pm

hai, I'm new here! :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy:

I'm yot, a ...relatively normal person in the day, and a passionate netizen at night. My interests are made of internet culture (in its many different forms...), technology, vidya games, cartoons & anime, and cats, which are finely grained and mixed together into a gooey mess which is my brain :cheesy:

idk why I'm doing this lol but here's basically my multiple years journey until I found this place, condensed into one line:
wayback machine --> random articles n' stuff --> neocities --> yesterweb --> this place

I'm also the proud owner of yot.co.il (https://yot.co.il), which is where I put some ramblings from time to time.

I'll ujst say it here - I never experienced the old web. I was simply too young. What I can say however is that the modern web isn't really that fun, and that places like this are like a the last shining lights, in a very, very deep sea...

A familiar design... I think you were one of the first users on Vistaserv. What do you think about that site?

Oh you know about vistaserv as well :cheesy:

I think it's a really cool place for making minimal sites, and at least when I used to be a regular there the guestbook was a really nice way to talk with others about our sites. There was even a user named dir who managed a directory with links to other cool sites, but he took that page down and now it's long gone... :sad:

I can sum up my expirience there as - great site, chill community, and somehow nails down perfectly the 90's aesthetic.
