these are links i think you should click
i have so many goddamn bookmarks, especially from making this website. not everything in this page is bookmarked, but it is stuff i wanna share or keep or both.
first and foremost, if you're wondering how to get started on neocities, i wrote a post about it on tumblr, and (jabroni mike voice) people tend to like it!
internal use documents
Internal Use Documents is a folder in my bookmarks full of websites (mostly neocities websites) that were not meant to be viewed by a wider audience, but are still readily available anyways. most of these sites were found via me hitting the "random" selection on neocities search without defining any search terms. there are a few sites in this folder that contain personal/sensitive information (up to and including people's home addresses or legal names attached to the school they go to), and those sites are not included. i am a nosy person, and some people don't realize that neocities websites are very public. this list is a reminder of that.
IF YOUR WEBSITE IS LISTED HERE AND YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO TAKE IT DOWN: please email me at oddmerit (at symbol) gmail (period) com with proof you own/are afilliated with the website, and i will do so promptly!
- cunning.neocities.org: "cunning" was the first "internal use document" i found on this site. quoting the twitter thead i made when i first found this site, which explains a little bit more why i saved these sites...
"it looks like a lot of websites throw some internal use stuff onto neocities. i just found a website apparently made for/by storyful employees doing outreach and asking to use content in several different langauges"
"if you click the different buttons, it copies generic "hi i'm so-and-so with storyful, can we use this content" messages to your clipboard. looks like it was last updated 3 years ago but for all i know they could still be using it"
"doing an exact quote search for one of the clipboard options, it looks like they've used this website as recently as 2020, or at least used a template greeting the same as the one hosted on neocities"
"at the very least, the "cunning" website was made specifically for use on twitter, because it uses @/Storyful (w/o slash obvs) in the msg it copies. considered emailing the guy listed as creating the website asking if using neocities for this kinda stuff is par for the course"
if you're shane raymond who formerly worked at storyful, hi! your website looks very useful.
- overcomingobstacles.neocities.org: curriculum, actvity sheets, training documents, and other miscellaneous information about how to teach students "life skills", supposedly. it's an american site/org, so theres emphasis on "personal responsibility" and "career goals" and "abiding the law". i don't know why this is hosted on neocities, they have a whole official website that seems to have a whole guided program that includes all this stuff on it. someone else may want to do a comparison of what content is available where.
- naturalvibes.neocities.org: appears to be user-submitted reviews for a minecraft server, plus some information about skyblock, factions, and prisons. the whole thing is basically an airtable hosted on neocities. the linked twitter account only has one post back in 2020 and any dated information on the airtable is also back from 2020. have not dived into the discord server, part of me feels it wont be active. also don't know why the url for this is "naturalvibes" -- the twitter account points to "privateloop.net" but the url is out of comission, my theory is they used to have a custom neocities url but let it lapse.
- fdufitnesscenter.neocities.org: a website about the fitness centre at Fairleigh Dickinson University in new jersey. the website looks, to be frank, unprofessional for a private university, but a google search shows that they have much more up-to-date info at the official FDU Knights website. the "copyright 2022" on the footer doesnt mean much -- it's updated automatically with javascript. the "offers" page dates this website to around spring-summer of 2016. would love to know if this website was ever used in any offical capacity or if this was someone trying to impersenate the university? or perhaps it's some FDU kid's coding homework.
- awareness.neocities.org: uh oh -- whoever comes to this site would've fallen for a phishing scam! or at least, that's what this site says; "The message you opened was part of a Phishing awareness training being run by your organization" implies that this url would've been used in place of a real phishing url to test employee's email know-how. the site also says that the IT lead will contact you if you clicked the link, but i don't see any sort of tracking code in the website. i wonder how the IT team tracks that info?
INTERNAL USE SUBSECTION: weather/atomosphere/environment/power tracking??
for some reason there are a lot of sites that look to be automatically updated with very technical-looking graphs documenting information gathered with very scientific-looking methods. they have a lot of graphs, update relatively frequently, and don't have a lot of context. i don't even know where some of these things are being collected from.
- homebase.neocities.org: a lot of different graphs and subsections. possibly based in austria? includes power consumption, environmental markers, and "eth 0" with broken images -- cryptocurrency perhaps?
- jfid.neocities.org: "current" weather conditions for Bainbridge Island, Washington. stuck at june 13th 2019, 3:05 pm. goes back to 2017.
- 3kchalet.neocities.org: ACTUAL current weather conditions for a place called "3k Chalet", possibly located in Conifer, CO, based on radar info on the website. googling "3k chalet" doesn't net me anything like that though.
- gfab.neocities.org: man, i dunno. weather tracking somewhere. not enough info for me to glean location.
