So I never really looked into it, but I guess Neocities is like... an indy place where people can post their own stuffs?

Anyway, it looks like Bing is blocking them from showing up in the search results. From what they're implying (neo), it looks like Bing is giving them one of those infuriating non-answers corpos love to hand out these days.

You know...

1) We confirm that your account is banned / you are banned

2) We will not reverse the ban.

3) We will not tell you why we did it.

4) But trust us, it was because 'policy violation.'

I've run into this sometimes too, like... I use a VPN and I've got myself banned from some shopping sites for ...you know, like... buying things and paying for them consistently.

Anyway I think I had a point, I dunno... I need more coffee. OH. Right. If you're using a Bing based search then you might be getting filtered results or something. So maybe look at other searches?

I use Kagi, but I bet a lot of people have recommends. Post in the comments (and if you know, tell us who they use to search!)

Thanks to @literalgrill for the head's up on Bing's trash behavior.
