I generally avoid using any forums (such as Melonland) or chatboxes on Neocities. For anyone that does: am I missing out on anything cool? Or am I okay just using this Neocities feed
I thought i would avoid them when I got here but I changed my mind I like tagging people and it’s fun to provide a chat box ambience ina way sometimes. I had a horrible experience with harassment a month or two ago with cbox that I had issues handling with a free account however.
a chatbox basically feels like a lower-effort version of a guestbook...i've considered removing mine just because having a guestbook makes it redundant. but for anyone wanting to drop a quick hello without a longer message it's nice to have
i think chatboxes/comments/guestbooks are nice for letting people who dont have a neocities account comment on your site! forms are cool for finding other people in the personal web who might not be hosted on neocities, or who may not update often enough to be easily discovered ^^ now i've never really hung out in someones chat box and chatted with other people there, but i do think forums are neat
i rarely post, but i browse the melonland forum pretty often. there's some interesting discussions as well as useful resources/guides that i wouldn't have found anywhere else
I mean having a guestbook lets other people outside of neocities have a first greeting like the activity feed similar to neocities, which there are since there's other places like nekoweb, having a guestbook is pretty nice though I haven't had a chatbox before, although forums seem pretty nice but i gotta give some a try soon
chatboxes are super cool, although they can come with downsides (also known as Trying to use CBOX) - nobody really visits them due to the fact that it's kinda random and nerve-wracking but like a guestbook it's cool to have
I see, yeah I heard people hang out frequently on onio.club but I'm a little iffy with how quickly a public chatbox can go off the rails. I think it's about time I check out the MelonLand forums though. Thanks everyone!
eh, it's a little bit of both. it's a fun way to socialize, but I grew bored. i think its strengths is in creating a community that is very passionate about a specific thing, and i just don't get passionate about stuff like that, so not much to talk about

I only put one on my site so people can talk to me directly. That way nobody can ban me.
