Good luck with the project!

I hope we will soon see these pathetic Facebook like buttons replaced with good old JavaScript guest counters (only half-joking).

Can you add a akismet style spam filtering to kill spammy pages?

It is very refreshing that a side project/start-up related post has made it to number 1 spot on HN. And this is coming from someone who posted a Bee article that made it to the front page today.

kyledrake if any negativity on this thread gets to you, something tells me it will not, just ask yourself how many others have posted their side project on HN that made it to #1, I know I have not and that is why I created this account to begin with - to share my start-up with a start-up community.

My three quick contributions: http://qz.neocities.com/ http://scientists.neocities.com/ (Back to the Future) http://fometer.neocities.org/ I've had issues uploading CSS, JS and manifest (for offline) files - anyone else?

I just had to do it: http://jstalin.neocities.org/index.html It's going to play audio if you clink the link, unless you're using click to play

Also, backstory: http://mike.winterdiamond.com/history.php

That was pretty sad.

How do you plan on keeping out spam?

Ya, looks like most of the pages are garbage right now.

Don't worry, Dade Murphy will clean up.

  Next, enter a password. This will be used to allow you to login. Minimum 5 characters. If you don't make it a good password, Dade Murphy from the movie Hackers will come in and steal your "garbage files".

I wanted to share this with a co-worker. Asked him, "you remember geocities?". He didn't. Because it was probably before he was born. I'm so old.

Oh man, I'm sorry for OP because of all the negativity in this thread. I think his service is kinda cool in a twisted way and I can totally see me building a little 'old school' homepage on it. /edit: I did build a homepage: http://kybernetyk.neocities.org I feel better now ;)

Nah, OP seems to be doing just fine. I feel more sorry for the people who forgot how to laugh.

Here's mine (NSFW-ish): http://nl.neocities.org

Hah! I've been playing with Jekyll and Pelican and other static site generators, and one of the thoughts I had was "if Geocities were still around, I could host pages there."

How are you moderating the content? Are you doing it yourself? Are you putting together a flagging system? Do you need help? I am looking for another side project to work on.
