Sad news, folks — Neocities has been fun, and you’re all wonderful, wonderful people, but at some point in the near future, i’ll likely be jumping ship to a “real” hosting provider.

My reasoning is relatively simple — Neocities’ built-in community features are wonderful, and no doubt drive most of the traffic to my website, but it is slowly killing me not to have any way of meaningful interaction on the site itself (and that making posts on the blog is such a faff). I want real, actual comments and forms, no substitutes accepted, gosh darn it!
I’ll probably maintain a little "portal" redirecting to any new stuff, just so that it still shows up on people's feeds
o7 we'll miss you!

And, hey, you can always still keep up via RSS (shout-out to Fraidycat, which is excellent if you don't want your everything feed to look like an email inbox)
I've definitely been annoyed at the lack of dynamic content features - especially since I could actually get a server with them for cheaper - so I can emphasise with such a move. But I would only actually only pull the plug when you've sure you've got the audience to sustain it.
