I wouldn't go so far as to call it a "project". They've been around nearly forever on the internet timeline, and I spent a couple decades having an account and absolutely zero interaction with any other members (which, of course, probably says more about *me* than the "project"...). I thought it was just the best cloud shell account I could find for the money at the time.
That said... I started diddling with a "neocities" account the other day, giving it the same name as that of my old SDF account. Oh, for the love of names dying hard....
