Yesterweb Forum

Hopefully ProBoards won’t be the permanent place to host the forum on. I might look into better options when I have the time to do so! ^^ I don't like proboards either, but it was a time sensitive thing. I can't assure you I will ever be able to, though. This is not some grand passion project of mi...

Today I opened up my email client and, to my delight, my almost-pristine email address received its first scam offer!! <3 Greetings, I wish to transfer some Funds from the Cambodia to your country or any country of your choice, for sharing in an agreeable ratio for Investment in any of your business...

Hello netizens! I did not think to make a thread for this at first, but another member pointed out to me that it would be beneficial. I set up a small proboards forum to just... keep in contact with eachother, and decide where to go in the future. It'd be a shame to lose contact, so everyone is welc...

Ray

there is something going on beyond the surface level of these conversations, and it requires social context and history to understand. anyone missing this context will be misled, and there's nothing that can really be done about it. being social is complicated and difficult, and it is worth asking:...

Ray

they are not having conversations with us, they are having conversations with others about us. that's not going to be a particularly productive conversation. [...] if you genuinely want to understand what someone is trying to say, you go and ask them directly, instead of trying to figure it out wit...

Idk what it is about netizens these days, but you do realize you don't have to agree with every post you see on a shared website to actively use it, right? The brilliant aspect of Internet communication is the ability to debate in good faith. Contrary to popular belief, this isn't a lost art. I've ...

I can safely say that my curiosity has been satisfied now

Thank you for your candour, transparency, and patience. I hope to meet you again somewhen in the future, and share some salad together. Goodbye, and take care! <3

I am what is known in Latin America as a digital guerrilla. I show up in promising social spaces and attempt to perform a social transformation. Once I have done all I can, I move on and do it again, sometimes online, sometimes offline. I have been popping in and out of existence like this for six ...

Ray

First off, Madness - thank you SO MUCH for sticking around and engaging with us. I'm really sorry if some people percieve you as the one who came and uprooted things. I think most of us clearly see you as just - the bearer of sad news, someone who's taking charge in doing something unpleasant but ne...

Ray

You're Awesome Ray! I signed up for your forum cause I'm For-it LOL Yesss lovely to have you there!! <3 also taking this time to tell you, thank you for the kind words in the forum shutting down thread!! :'3 I'd love to keep in contact so I'm really glad you joined there too :D (I am sort of gather...

https://www.proboards.com/ We can set up show here even though but the forum has to be a different name but the same structure as Yesterweb. And we cannot use the name Yesterweb though. Well, for the moment, I've set up a little forum for us to keep in contact! https://the-web-raft.boards.net/ It's...

I definitely saw a dio earlier!!! who's the guy with a key in his teeth? lol

What I am quite certain of however, is that life is NOT exclusively kind, laid-back and fun. Suffering, sadness, seriousness-- they exist, there is truth in them, life is full of them. I worry the positivity-exclusive places lead to things like their: inadequate acknowledgement, supression, dismiss...

Ray

IKR! Totally awesome ^_^ For me I have a hotspot on loan from my local library but if you have regular wall internet it should work fine (don't quote me.) Here is some more info about it directly from the Archive Team Wiki that goes more in depth: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveTeam_...

Ray

So you know, it's important to us that this doesn't devolve into being simply an aesthetic or hobby or slacktivism. If that's what people want then they can build it themselves and the groundwork was already laid out for them. I think we should push for more fundamental transformation. It's been a ...

That's the fun part. You have no idea so you do your best to be as annoying as possible and get the last post always

Or, even better. Petition to ask Sadness to lock the forum at any random time between 1st to 3rd of May, for Suspense >:)

Ray

See you all on may 1st for the true showdown ;)

And So It Begins! Thanks Again Ray for mentioning Archive Team.

in reality why would I hang out around people who deny my right to life? as soon as someone says my type of people deserve to be shot, why would I stay there? I wouldn't subject myself to that kind of abuse, so I would leave Ty for the added context about agora road, I had no idea about it until ju...

[...]personally had to delete my account on melonland because the moderation was very heavy-handed to the point where he was deleting posts if 2 people were soft-core arguing in a thread (and no name-calling, just good clean arguing). Ah, I can see how that'd get annoying and create a bit of a bubb...

I actually just recently started using ChatGPT - I kind of buried my head in the sand for a while there, since most of the AI news that reached me were from digital artist spaces - and pretty bleak :') Tbh it's fantastic. I toyed with it for a bit to help my partner with conversations in English - y...

I keep a running list of the online spaces I am participating within here: Online Communities Pretty neat idea to list them all out like this! Also ahw how quickly you've updated on Yesterweb forums' death :') No offence to you personally, but some of those communities you couldn't pay me to inhabi...

Ray

Heyo! :D In light of the soon to happen forums' closure, I thought it'd be cool to have a thread to share places similiar in spirit to the Yesterweb & its forums. So - little, kind, good natured nooks of the internet where likeminded people can come together, be creative, make friends, share the...

Ray

I do have a question out of curiosity for the mods that hang around the forum and feel like talking about it - what are you going to do, individually? Is the Yesterweb still a project you're into? What sort of online spaces are you guys enjoying and creating and how? First, thank you for your kind ...

Ray

Was literally waiting for this announcement :P I guess most of us that are united by similar interests and saw this as a hobby will migrate to similar/generalist forums or create smaller ones if the need/want arises (I heard of melonland, might be cool to open up a thread to link to similar places)....

Ray

Have any of you been involved in local art communities? I feel like moving away from the internet for my art may be a great way to bypass this market thinking. The exposure to others' work becomes limited to your surroundings, and feedback may become more meaningful! I never tried to join any group...

Ray – I'll try to rephrase: even if you can't control which concerning laws are made, it's still a good habit to be aware of such laws than unaware. What is your native language? Italian? Thank you for pointing that out – I love becoming aware of where in the world my Internet neighbours are, and ...

I think it's better to maintain minimal provisional awareness than to shirk it. Genuinely sorry, but could you rephrase that? :o I'm not a native speaker and am not sure I got your point correctly! Anyways, thank you both for sharing this info! With legal stuff it's always hard to understand *exact...

Ray

That's really sad, but also equally understandable. I guess this means that it's up to us to create and maintain smaller, more manageable webrings. And also on another hand, without considering the guys trying to take advantage of the webring, it's really neat to see that there's such a growing comm...

Seconding Blog47177, this pretty much sounds like a job for the folks over at https://archive.org/ - but I'm not really sure how doable it is.

I really love the Etiquette section on the Yesterweb's about page. I find that by following those easy rules, any internet space becomes much more healthier.

Hiya! I've got a couple domains to my name, and so far have always used Namecheap. I also realize I haven't got the slightest idea of what I should look for in a registrar, what are some green vs red flags, what can I risk by buying from "worse" registrars, and if there's a list of well-kn...

… If I were to take a list of names of great animators… that still wouldn't be a rebuttal to the main point that for most common people, it would probably be a disaster for their time, finances, and mental health, to pursue a job in that sector. Correct, but it would be a rebuttal to the point that...

Ray

This is largely a deflection of the main point they were making for pedantry. Choosing Craig Federighi, Bill Gates, and Ken Kocienda as your examples is still kinda weird. I was responding to mrwillhorlen's characterization that no one likes working in the tech industry – seemingly the main point –...

I know this is a lil bit off topic, will make a new thread if necessary instead! But, could some of you peeps give me a spacehey review? I wasn't here for original MySpace. What do you like about it? Is it easy to find/make friends? How is the community?

While it's true that Windows10 did add support for zipping/unzipping files, the front end UI for it is horribly clunky, and really only has full support for standard zip files as far as I know. A lot of other archive formats either have limited or no compatibility with it. To this day in Windows 10...

What dreadful things have you heard?
