This is a small page to give credit to people that inspired me and that I got some graphics from. Without them the website wouldn't be what you see here or wouldn't even exist at all. Thank you to everyone who checked out my site and/or interacted with it <3

Resources

Blinkies:

It's almost impossible to credit every original author, but these are the ones I did find an author for:

  • Adrian's blinkie collection - Come here to get flashbanged with 500+ blinkies and hundreds of stamps

  • CloudCover - Really pretty website overall that has some cool blinkies

  • Corvidae Digital - Has a big collection of graphics and other cool personal stuff. Really cozy place

  • plasticdino - Very girlypop aesthetics and colorful graphics

  • Blinkie.World - A huge collection of blinkies neatly organised by different colors

  • Silly Blinkies - A little collection of, you guessed it, silly blinkies

  • Transbro - A passionate artist and a maker of blinkies and AMV's

  • blinkie wiki - Has an easy to use tool for searching their vast blinkie archive

  • Kiyoshi Kitsune - Blinkie artist (Tumblr link)

  • Gerudo Valley - Has a big graphics collection and a basic online blinkie maker

  • that0nebritishrat - Like, the best site ever??? Also has some cool blinkies on the home page

Other graphics:

  • Clippy gifs - Pack of gifs with the modern tech revolution sign - Clippy

  • Kolobki - A classic sticker/emoji pack used in many older forums

Main inspirations:

  • Diggon's YT video - if not for this video, I wouldn't have even heard of neocities by myself

  • Sonic2k - One of the first websites I visited here ever. It was eye-opening checking out his projects and the insanely impressive yearbook (seriously, how long did that take?). Since I had similiar tech interests, this place felt close to me. When he started following my half-assed neocities profile after I simply followed him, I knew I HAD to not dissapoint him and do SOMETHING.

  • that0nebritishrat - This was THE place I looked for ideas on the layout and aesthetics. When she posted an encouraging comment on my profile and later reacted to my response with a happy post on her page, it was like meeting a childhood hero and becoming besties with them. I still have that screenshot of the status post lol. The next day I started to brainstorm anything that could kick-start my website from the hardest creative first steps.

  • Yesterweb - Was just surfing through links on other's websites and encountered yesterweb.org. The manifesto was cool and all but when I clicked on the "Say no to Web3" button and saw the background, something clicked in my head. I've got a good background that fills up the empty space. Oh! I remembered those classy smileys from a Telegram sticker pack. Oh! I know what to do add! Clippy! He's on my PFP for god's sake! And then the rest just came naturally.
