RULES
1. WE DO NOT LIST BIGOTS.
SHOULD BE PRETTY OBVIOUS. IF I SEE ANY INFRINGING CONTENT ON YOUR SITE (RACISM, ABLEISM, QUEERPHOBIA OF ANY SORT ETC) YOU WILL BE TOLD TO FUCK OFF.
THIS ALSO INCLUDES THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN/RESPECT THE XENIC IDENTITY AND ITS COMPONENTS (XENOGENDERS, NEO/XENOPRONOUNS, ETC). WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE
2. YOU GOTTA BE XENIC !
ALSO A GIVEN, EHE. IT DOES NOT MATTER IN WHAT WAY YOU ARE, JUST THAT YOU ARE, YKNOW? XENOGENDERS, NEOPRONOUNS, EXISTING SPECIFICALLY TO SPITE GENDER, WHATEVER!
IT'D ALSO BE COOL IF YOU HAD SOMETHING XENIC-RELATED ON YOUR SITE LIKE YOUR PRONOUNS OR A FLAG OR WHATNOT, BUT I WON'T LIST THIS AS A REQUIREMENT. YOU MIGHT HAVE YOUR REASONS!
3. PERSONAL, HAND-CODED SITES ONLY
NO COMMERCIAL SITES, SOCIAL MEDIA, CARRDS, RENTRYS, ETC. THIS ALSO INCLUDES CARRD COPY-PASTES. APOLOGIES. YOUR SITE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE HOSTED ON NEOCITIES, THOUGH.
4. PUT THE WIDGET SOMEWHERE ON YOUR SITE.
I DON'T CARE WHERE! LANDING, HOMEPAGE, DEDICATED WEBRINGS PAGE, WHATEVER. IF YOU TAKE IT OFF, YOU'LL PROBABLY BE REMOVED AT SOME POINT.
5. USE YOUR NOGGIN.
NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO TITLE THIS, BUT I'M REFERRING TO THE FACT THAT JUST BECAUSE A SITE IS LISTED HERE DOESN'T MEAN THAT I (OR ANY OTHER MEMBER) AGREE WITH ANY OPINIONS THEY MIGHT HAVE. STILL DON'T LIST BIGOTS, THOUGH. FUCK OFF
IF SOMEONE'S IN VIOLATION OF THE RULES, HOWEVER, EMAIL ME WITH EVIDENCE VIA THE WEBRING EMAIL (XENICSOFTHENET@PROTON.ME) OR MY PERSONAL EMAIL (BIRDKINGS@PROTON.ME). EITHER THEY STARTED PUTTING SHIT UP AFTER I LET THEM IN OR I MADE A MISTAKE. I'LL GET IT RESOLVED, THOUGH.
6. ADULT CONTENT IS ALLOWED, BUT...
I WILL PUT A BIG FAT WARNING ON YOUR SITE. I ALSO WON'T BE VISITING AT ALL, CUZ I'M SEVENTEEN. THE ADULT CONTENT I'M REFERENCING IS LIKE STRAIGHT EXPLICIT P*RN FOCUSED SITES, BY THE WAY. AS LONG AS YOU CONTENT WARN FOR OTHER MATURE THEMES, THEN YOU'RE FINE.
ALSO FINE IF YOU JUST DON'T WANNA JOIN BECAUSE I'M A STINKY LITTLE MINOR. YOU GOTTA WAIT A BIT.
7. PLEASE HAVE *SOMETHING* ON YOUR SITE.
I DON'T THINK THIS'LL HAPPEN, BUT DON'T APPLY IF YOUR SITE IS EMPTY/THE NEOCITIES STARTING PAGE/'I'M WORKIN ON A SITE'/ETC. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE LIKELY DEVELOPING IT, BUT I (AS A RANDO) DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THAT'S GONNA TAKE AND I NEED YOU TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE PAGE OF CONTENT FOR THAT REASON.
8. GOOD FAITH, NON-HARMFUL IDENTITIES ONLY.
WHAT DO I MEAN BY THIS EXACTLY? IF A LABEL IS NOT A DANGEROUS PARAPHILIA (I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SPECIFY) OR HARMFUL / OFFENSIVE (E.G. MENTAL DISORDER GENDERS USED BY THOSE WHO DON'T DEAL WITH SAID MENTAL DISORDER), THEN YOU'RE FINE. AS FOR THE CASES I MENTIONED, YOU ARE DISGUSTING.
9. I HAVE A RIGHT TO DECLINE ANY APPLICANT FOR ANY REASON.
SELF-EXPLANATORY.
I READ THE RULES, LET ME IN!
WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, GLORIOUS. SHOOT ME AN EMAIL OVER AT XENICSOFTHENET@PROTON.ME WITH A FILLED-OUT VERSION OF THIS FORM.
OR JUST CLICK THIS FANCY LINK AND YOUR BROWSER WILL OPEN A NEW EMAIL FOR YOU. I HOPE. IT SHOULD IF I DID THIS RIGHT.
AAAND... PLAY THE WAITING GAME! I'LL TRY TO CHECK THE EMAIL EVERY FRIDAY AT THE VERY LEAST, WHEN I DO WEEKLY UPDATES TO MY SITE.
SEND ME ANOTHER APPLICATION OR CONTACT ME ELSEWHERE (LIKE MY SITE PROFILE) IF IT'S BEEN OVER 2 WEEKS WITHOUT A REJECTION NOTICE.
ACCEPTED? SICK! HEAD OVER TO THE WIDGET PAGE TO PUT THE WEBRING ON YOUR SITE.
"AH, HEY! I USED TO BE ON HERE!! WHAT HAPPENED?!"
IF YOU *USED* TO BE APART OF THE WEBRING AND HAVE SINCE BEEN REMOVED, IT'S LIKELY BECAUSE THE WIDGET ISN'T ANYWHERE ON YOUR SITE (AND I DO TEND TO CHECK THOROUGHLY). IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE WIDGET ON YOUR SITE BECAUSE IT KEEPS EVERYONE'S SITES LINKED TOGETHER IN A RING! LIKE THE NAME IMPLIES! OTHER REASONS INCLUDE: YOU ARE A TOOL. I PROMISE THAT IT'S ALMOST ALWAYS THE FORMER. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REAPPLY BY SENDING ME ANOTHER EMAIL. IF IT'S FROM A NEW ADDRESS, SEND ME YOUR APPLICATION AGAIN. IF IT'S NOT, FEEL FREE TO JUST TELL ME THAT YOU'VE BEEN REMOVED AND WOULD LIKE TO BE READDED. THANKS!
