Does anyone remember Mat Mice?

I've been looking online for anyone else that remembers MatMice. It was similar to NeoCities, but aimed at kids. Existed in like...early 2000s. Eventually it became a social media platform that failed and tanked the whole ship.
Somethings I specifically remember about it:
-You couldn't have multiple pages per account, if you wanted to give your site multiple pages, you basically had to make a new account and link to it from your main site.
-Was made by some girls in Australia. I live in the US so I wonder if finding it was a fluke and if it was really only popular overseas?
-Pugly was a site that I remember being very popular (I actually found it on the internet archive, thank god, but most of it's graphics are lost.)
-It was sponsored by Scholastic at some point
-Ran exclusively HTML tho I think you could have style sheets in there as well, but I can't remember if you could link to them.

The major reason I love Neocities is it reminds me a lot of Mat Mice. I remember being in 2nd grade and being both obsessed with the Titanic and the Warriors book series. It was a popular thing at the time on MatMice to make warrior clans so of course I based mine around the Titanic...kinda messed up when I think about it now tbh.

I have some more vague memories I remember, but I'm wondering if anyone else has any?
