hey this site rules. i got into the old web last semester when i was doing a research paper on geocities for my digital culture class and i just fell down the rabbit hole completely. like people used to just make websites about their cat or whatever anime they liked and it was so genuine?? no algorithms no engagement metrics just people being weird online. now i spend way too much time on neocities when i should be writing essays lol. bookmarking this directory for sure
Date: November 1, 2026
I've been clicking through this directory for like two hours now and I keep finding the coolest little sites. It's so nice having a curated list instead of just stumbling around hoping to find stuff. Every link feels like opening a little gift. Thanks for putting this together, bookmarked forever!

I remember being 11 years old making a Sailor Moon fan page on Geocities and spending HOURS picking the perfect tiled background and midi song!! My mom yelling at me to get off the phone line so she could make a call LOL!! I missed this internet so much!! Everyone here is amazing, keep building your weird little pages!!!

I started missing the old web after I realized I'd been scrolling the same three apps for like five years straight. Found this place from a link on someone's Neocities page and I'm so glad it exists!

So glad people are building personal sites again. I missed the days when every link led somewhere weird and wonderful instead of the same five apps.

Oh my gosh, a GUESTBOOK!! I haven't signed one of these since like 2003 on my friend's Geocities page. This seriously made my whole day. I used to spend hours just clicking through webrings and finding weird little personal sites people made about their cats or their rock collections. The internet felt so much more fun back then, you know? Anyway this directory is awesome, I've already found like 12 sites to bookmark. Keep it going!! ^_^ =D

Back then nobody cared if your site was "good" you just made it YOURS, blinkies and all. That raw creative energy is what I miss most.

Found this place through a link on someone's bookmark page and I've been clicking around for like an hour now. There's something so nice about sites where you can tell a real person sat down and wrote the HTML by hand, you know? No frameworks, no javascript bloat, just someone's little corner of the internet. Bookmarked and adding you to my links page for sure!

SO GLAD this directory exists!! I just finished rebuilding my personal site in pure HTML and CSS, no frameworks, no build steps, no node_modules folder bigger than the sun!! It's basically a dumping ground for my programming notes, cool bugs I've found, and photos of my soldering projects! Every page loads in like 0.2 seconds and I wrote every single tag by hand!! It feels SO GOOD to just edit a file and upload it with FTP like the old days!!! Keep cataloging these gems!!!

Found this directory through a link on someone's bookmarks page and I've been clicking around for like two hours now. I stumbled onto this amazing site someone made cataloging every geocities neighborhood and what they were for. I had completely forgotten that was how geocities worked! Thanks for putting this together, it's such a great resource.

OH MY GOSH I am so happy I found this place!! I got into the retro web stuff last year when I was cleaning out my old room at my parents' house and found a CD-R with my old Geocities pages backed up on it!! I literally screamed!! It was so bad but SO GOOD and it made me miss when the internet felt like a weird fun neighborhood instead of like five apps!! Now I'm obsessed with finding sites like these!! Thank you for keeping this directory going!!!

OH MY GOSH I just signed an actual guestbook!! I haven't done this since like 2003 when I was leaving messages on everyone's Angelfire pages lol. I literally just set up my Neocities site last week and finding directories like this makes me so happy ^_^ The old web is ALIVE and I'm so glad people are still doing this. Gonna browse through your links all night :) Thanks for keeping this going!!

Nothing beats viewing source on someone's hand-coded page and seeing all their little HTML comments like "fix this later lol." That's the real web right there.

Love this directory so much! Does anyone else remember those old "web cliques" where you'd put a little button on your site saying you were a member? Like "I love rainy days" clique or whatever. I used to collect those like trading cards. I've been thinking about starting one again honestly. Anyway, keep up the great work here, bookmarked!

What a wonderful surprise! I’m the owner of yinji.org. I found this site through my Umami analytics and discovered that it includes my blog. The screenshot is from when I was using WordPress; I use Hugo now. What a wonderful internet experience!
