Greetings ~ Say HELLO if you are new here!

[pyrrhic7]

Hey! I'm Violet, or you can refer to me as pyrrhic7 (I like summoning a new username for every occasion!).

My stubborn passion is visual art: digital painting, learning concept art, the rare watercolor field trip or oil on gessoed cardboard. I've been lax on uploading work from the last three years, so no portfolio to share quite yet. I also have a deep love of words and crunchy prose! When I have the time to indulge, I add a paragraph to my wispy stack of unpublished speculative short stories (more abstract than decipherable).

I began my internet life on book fan forums & roleplay boards (so it's cozy to return to forum life ), and virtual pet sites (Neopets, Furry Paws...)—my first foray into gaming! I've since carried an itch to create my own virtual pet site; a decade-plus of false-starts later, @akhenaton (who finished her intro before me :O ) and I have persisted with a 2-years-in-development fantastical cat bakery sim, PastryCats! All-around interested in gamedev/design chatter :)

My first hobby, reading, hit its snags in adulthood, so now I maintain a fleet of partially-read books; the latest in rotation—in physical and e-book format—To the Lighthouse, You Dreamed of Empires, Invisible Cities, The Witch Elm... Besides books and sim games, I relax by mulling over a puzzle game (gradually picking away at 100%ing Opus Magnum).

Feeling giddy to be in an old web corner again; can't wait to chatter with other creatives! Conversely, I'm somewhat shy, but I'll try :)

[rolypolyphonic]

Hello. I discovered MelonLand from randomly browsing through indie websites. My main project is a hypertext webcomic and I really enjoy how I can use the medium of the website itself to add more interactivity and uniqueness for its story. I usually write about niche things pertaining to my experiences, like schizospectral disorders (especially schizoid/schizotypal), lovelessness, non-humanity and all such other obscure matters. 

Besides writing and drawing comics, I dabble in whatever strikes my fancy (usually doll-making, textiles/sewing, and a bit of animating and music-making). On top of the webcomic, my website has its own BBS called the Bakery and adding new little features for it here and there has been the highlight of my past few months. Feel free to drop by it or to send me an e-mail, it is nice to meet new people.

[sammowammo]

Hello! My name is Sam (or sammowammo)
I am a video game programmer and web programmer!

I have the 'tism (aka, autism)and because of that, I LOVE esoteric things

anyways:

favourite html tag: <p> for sure! it's the building block of the internet. It's been used by EVERY webmaster atleast ONCE.
do you have a site: Yes I do! sammowammo.online, I share it everywhere lol

well yeah idk what to say lol

[murderoftheuniverse]

been a bit guarded about joining here since i cant make any cool websites or what not, but how i yearn for the old forums and the people on here. i suppose the furthest i get is collage graphic design work (not all of it listed, im looking for a place to host all my imgs in full quality  ) here: carrd. this being said all out of the way, im just here to make friends and hopefully find a nearly full alternative to social media, forums make me nostalgic. was accustomed with a few here and there.

feel free to refer to me as either frankie or my screenname.

[foxmosis]

it's all good i can hardly make cool websites either lol i needed a lot of help with mine, welcome to the forums!

I've been making websites for 30 years and I still can't make anything as gorgeous as some of the things I see here. Don't sweat it!

The Web is a wonderful and versatile medium, and (compared to other bits of technology) it can be pretty forgiving, too. But it's best when you spend more time going "I love what they've done with their site... I wonder how that might inspire me to improve my own...?" and less time going "my site doesn't look as good as other people's".

The Web is a playground. So play with it. If that means some scrappy HTML, ten lines of copy-pasted CSS, and CC0 images that somebody else made... that's still a thing that you made, and that's great.

So yeah: don't sweat it!

[mazapandust]

hello, i'm new here! my name is mazzy and i'm a comic artist, illustrator and storyteller. i'm 32 years old, nonbinary, and i live in poland. i used to post all my art on IG/TT but  got really burnt out on creating for an algorithm rather than for real people, so now all my work is on my neocities site - mazapandust.com.

i love comics, communist-era architecture and postcards. i'd love to meet others with similar interests!

take care :)

@mazapandust

Welcome! I wanted to reply and welcome you in because I just finished reading your main webcomic (Mazapán Dust) and I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your experiences as comics.

I'm excited to read your other ones too. I hope you enjoy yourself here.

[Meriamelie]

hi!! i'm meriamelie. i've been interested in html and web coding for about 6 years now (i am still nowhere near the best at it lol). i draw and make somewhat tolerable music.
i actually love forums, and i decided this would be a fun place for me to lurk and engage in.

heres my website if you wanna take a look!

[deoxysacid]

i hope i actually maintain some activity here. it seems like a really nice place!

[4stralmoff]

Hello! 

I go by the name of Moth ::3
I tend to be a bit nervous about posting things on the internet in general, but I hope I can actually post here often, considering that I'm breathing here. And that I have an account here. And that I exist here

my favourite HTML tag is marquee! Look at it. it's like a little conveyor belt it's wonderful
my personal website is currently at 4stralmoff.nekoweb.org!
I love the endless customizablilty of this portion of the web! I can literally do anything here
haven't decorated my room much yet (sorry) but at the very least, there's tea. Tea is great right  (everyone.melonland.net/4stralmoff) 

[anotherautumn]

Hello everybody!!
I'm Autumn!! I'm a silly queer art student who loves art and exploring!! My dream job is as a Graphic Novellist 
As you can tell by my username I love Autumn as well as Forests, Mountains, Halloween, Appalachia, Hiking, yada yada
But! I also love things like Video Games, Horror Movies, Oingo Boingo, Night in the Woods, and analog media!!!
Webwise I am veryyy new to Webcrafting (and it may take me a few weeks to get fully started, doing finals rn) but I lovee the older internet and I very strongly believe in all the amazing social, personal and humanitarian ideals of the Web Revival. Obviously as an artist I'll need to use social media in the future for marketing/career purposes, but I wish we had never gone past the days of personal websites and such LOL
But yeah!! I'll be quite busy for the next week but my college has a two-month-long winter break (like omg) so I'll be much more active on here soon! You all seem super cool and I'm excited to share some of my art and become a part of the community :) Thanks for having me!! 
Also... I'm new to HTML but I like <button> a lot... I love going places :D

i found a working windows 98 pc on the side of the road once... i'll have to post about it sometime >:)

[Ereven]

Hi! Im Ereven! I enjoy games, writing and music! i dabble in both art and reading quite frequently as well. i am quite interested in history! especially long winded stuff that few people care about.
