Hi! So I've made a few posts here and I figured I should introduce myself.

I'm Kutan! I really like video games, virtual worlds, and raccoons. I got into the Internet in the mid 90s, was absolutely obsessed with exploring the web. It was so neat seeing all these personal spaces on display, and seeing what creative things people could make within the confines of early WWW. It was also a blast getting to meet and interact with people-- AOL chat rooms, and eventually within the context of game environments, like EverQuest.
But my personal favorite online spaces were ones that allowed you to create and explore virtual worlds in realtime with other people: Furcadia was a big one for me, as was The Palace, and many years later, Second Life. I think Second Life came the closest to realizing the dream of a "3D Web," at least in its early days. Lots and lots of people making their own little spaces where they could showcase their interests and hobbies, and you could fly across a vast , continuous landscape of creations until you saw something that caught your eye, all in realtime with other people. That's definitely the kind of experience I seek out nowadays.
I found this site completely on accident, and I absolutely fell in love with it. It's such a treat to have a web space where you can just wander without a destination in mind, never really knowing what's going to be behind the next click, but finding all kinds of interesting things as you go. And it's been really exciting seeing that there's a whole community of "Web Revival" people making more spaces like this! It's going to be a ton of fun for me getting to explore all this.

Oh, as for the raccoons! I just really like raccoons. I spent a bunch of years feeding raccoons in the backyard every night. The yard was right up against an abandoned golf course, so we had all manner of wildlife out there. The raccoons in particular loved to come into the yard and play in the pool, and once I started feeding them, they became a regular part of my nightly routine. They're such curious and social animals! They acclimate to people so quickly, and they just "hang out" in a way most wild animals don't really do. Once they're fed, they're not in any rush to leave! Nowadays I just watch them online-- there's a really cool webcam I watch with nightly raccoons, and you can even donate to have an automated dispenser give them peanuts.

Here's a picture I took of a mom and her two fuzzbeasts!

Welcome! I have actually been considering making a SecondLife zone for this forum, but it runs really badly on my laptop and Im lazy :omg:k: Also Id love to make something indie a bit like it, but its SO HARD making a 3D world that's interesting and modifiable for people who visit it!

Raccoons defiantly have a vibe, we don't have them here, but I enjoyed Pom Poko when I was a kid. I still enjoy the theory that tired business people are in fact raccoons in disguise :grin:
