Just a heads up, the "Discussion on Hacker News" link points right back to the article and not Hacker News.

Kyle, Can we talk about making sure your sites get pulled into the Internet Archive? Or does that not fit the vision for your site?

Why the snark troll?

Please forgive my original post if it sounded like there was any snark.

Some people may not want all of their sites stored forever. Some people are cool with it. It was really just an honest question, and no snark was intended.

Kyle, I died a little inside when I saw the preview of the new "beautiful front page". It's a great webdesign, but I thought the part of the appeal of your site was the ghetto-fabulousness? The redesigned front page makes it look like a Wix competitor. I thought you wanted something that looked plain and boring, but accessible to everyone (like the blog). With a super modern fancy web design, you make the site look l…

I don't know what "ghetto-fabulousness" means but NeoCities is not a revolt against good web design, and it's not a ghetto. I like beautiful web sites. I love the new site design. I think most people will appreciate the new site. I have metrics, so if they don't, I'll know pretty quickly and make the appropriate adjustments. Thank you for your concern though.

I enjoy neocities so much. All those people making silly things or taking their first HTML steps makes me grin from ear to ear every time I hit /browse. Big kudos, may neocities be here to stay!

I think he misinterpreted what you said.

"Can we talk about making sure your sites get pulled into the Internet Archive" could mean "make sure your site is indexed and archived properly" or could mean "make sure that your site dies and is relegated to the archives".

Just so everybody knows what we're talking about, this is the screenshot of the new front page design we're working on: https://raw.github.com/kyledrake/neocities-web/master/files/...
