    I’m not interested in traffic. I’m literally a bored old dude who plays with junk. The only purpose for the site is me to play but I post for fun in case anyone stumbles across it. I’m delisted from everything.

    Back in the 1990’s as a teenager I loved my little part of the webrings of personal, pointless sites full of random crap. I’d check in on friends on their personal sites and geocities pages that overused the blink tag and animated gifs. That’s the classic internet that I’m talking about, and I fully embrace it on my little pile of shit. But point taken so link removed just to be safe.

          Cool site, thanks for linking it. I’ve been wanting to make a personal site for ages, but just no idea what to put on it.

            that is possibly the best compliment I’ve been given in ages, it’s just a simple, fun playground and basically my social media replacement (just without the annoying audience :)

              I was just going to check it out again to get some inspiration but it looks like it’s blocked?

                I threw some filtering on it just to be extra safe and wound up blocking everything but the US. Did get a small uptick on bot traffic when I posted a link so might have overdone the security a little.

                Guessing you are from one of the countries in hat showed up in the filter logs. I’ll do some selective unblocking.

                EDIT- been selectively unblocking as I see them. I’m extra paranoid but also always learning.
