hi everyone, my name is rachel. i am turning 33 next month, so imagine how excited i was to learn about the web revival back in april 2024. i am late to pretty much everything, including the web revival it seems, but it's ok. i've been working on my website for about a month now, & it's been so much fun. i had my own website when i was 11 years old & i thought it was so cool. the more i read about why having your own website is important in this corporate social media hellscape, the more things make sense to me.

my website is: phantasmajones.net YEAH BABEY!! A DOMAIN NAME!! i have a manifesto up & lots of other things! some other plans i have for my site are adoptables and "choose your own adventure" story type thingies!

i used to go on forums all the time, & am pretty sad about how forums pretty much aren't used anymore. i'm so excited to use a forum again! i'm still poking around & looking at everything. so far i've been so inspired by the creativity & passion i see in people's websites. it's been really inspirational to me, & i feel a lot happier when i'm Surfing Da Web instead of just doomscrolling.

i am very absentminded & am not sure how active i'll be on here. right now, i am actively procrastinating doing my grad school stuff.  :drat: whoopsies. but i'm glad i'm here now & i wanted to introduce myself! i have a pretty in-depth page about me on my site if u are interested. basically, i'm a big dork, i like video games, horror, surreal artwork, cute stuff & lots of things. i am in school studying Library & Information Science & i want to be a Digital Archivist.

i am relearning how to draw too. i mostly draw Garfields so far. here is my latest garf drawing:



i feel like i have so much more to say, but i can't think of it right now lol. Yay ADHD. anyway i will talk to u all soon!!! god bless  :unite:

Welcome home!! Wonderful Garf, 10000/10 :grin:

Your website and your art are super neat! I like that you mentioned irony-posioning in your manifesto, that was a big part of why I ended up leaving social media for good. Kindness and sincerity will prevail!

thanks Malice! i agree kindness & sincerity will prevail!! also love your site, it makes me feel like i'm in middle school. i was so obsessed w/ Evanescence when i was 12-13 years old. brrrriiiingggg meeee tooooo liiiiife!!!!!! OMG & THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE TOO!!! your site rules.  :seal:

i got hit by such a wave of nostalgia when i saw those old TBM website graphics on your site... i'm thinking for my site, i'm gonna do a "Web retrospective" thingy, where i use the way back machine & just feature  the sites i used to go on when i was a kid, the reasons why they were special to me, like dedicate a page to each website. Nothing & Nowhere definitely was one of the sites i'd like to write about!

it only exists in Youtube format now :( RIP flash. and this video was uploaded onto youtube 17 years ago!!!!



one of the most magical websites ever!!!!

this is the top comment:

This website. I used to visit alot when I was young. I would go to it and just listen to nowhere and the crickets and stuff for hours upon hours. The artwork inspired me. The lyrics inspired me.

Probably the most well designed band website I have ever seen. I miss it really bad

 :chef:


EDIT: OH MY GOD I FOUND THE FLASH VERSION ON THE INTERNET ARCHIVE!!! i'm crying!!!!

Welcome aboard  :ozwomp:  :ozwomp:

I love your Garfield, I am gonna check your site out now! I love how enthused you are, and yeah forums are great! Surfing the web is so much more fun than scrolling endlessly through AI generated sludge content on social media.

I am of the opinion it is never 'too late' to join a web revival. We only revive it if we keep getting new blood to add to the ecosystem.

Very cute website, looking forward to the adoptables!! Also yesss more last.fm appreciators!!!  (our compatibility is very high lol)

And that's a very good Garf.

Hello new kid ! Welcome to Melonlad's Forum !

Your website is awesome, I really dig the vibe ! Forums are cool especially to retrieve informations or tips on specific topics. Nowadays everything is buried into endless talking in Discords. Eugh. Good luck for school, never give up, never surrender !
