Welcome to the Cellar Door.
Cellar Door was affectionately the alias for the links and Webring section of my page and is also in reference to a movie by the name of "Donnie Darko." If you guys haven't seen it then go buy/rent the regular version. Do not get the director cut! Cellar Door is taken from a clip from that movie where the English teacher references that word as the most beautiful word in the English language.
Well, a lot of the sites below are beautiful. It is appropriate to call these sites out for it!
How to get into the Cellar Door?
Contact us and as long as you have a web 1.0 or self-hosted/isolated web 2.0 site we'll get you added to the listings of the cellar door. Understand that link exchanges will only appear in the Cellar Door and that is the best it's going to be. Read the FAQ for more information on commonly asked questions about this site.
Rules and exclusions:
Every cellar door must be kept clean or else it becomes a terror room. - S
- Common sense rules apply - The sites below are owned by different people. And thus; they will have different opinions than us. We are also not responsible for any of the content these people may post on their own site just as they are not responsible for anything we post on our own. Think for yourself and don't let others think for you!
- Aggressive advertisement/Spam/Scams/Dating services/Child Porn/Illegal/Mal-Ware/Ransom-Ware sites are prohibited- For obvious reasons no one wants to see those. If you do then you either need professional help. Or an ass whoopin.
- The promotion of political extremism will also be prohibited - Similar to Fanaticism on our first point. If you cannot have a healthy debate about the bad as well as the good. We want nothing to do with it.
- Mass conglomerate "Web 2.0" sites such as Facebook/YouTube/Tumblr/DeviantArt/Furaffinity -It has to be a site with an actual domain. If it's a Sub-Domain we generally have to review but we mostly let those through if the code is isolated enough such as some Neocities sites.
- Forced DNS redirection - Sites that simply domain redirect you to a YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, Tiktok, or Vimeo will just be banned. Not having that shit here.
- Gateway errors, 404 errors, blank pages, bad SSL certs - We don't delete right away. But after a month we'll consider the website abandoned and will remove it from our Cellar Door.
- No stolen art sites - Fuck out of here with that noise.
- If you do not want to be mentioned here or wish to report a 404 - Contact us and we'll remove it. Just that simple.
The "Blogrolls" within the Cellar Door.
A blogroll is different than a webring in the respect that these are collections of sites that inspire us (the webmaster). These people may or may not be aware of the inclusion in lists such as these and often were not contacted beforehand.
Blogs to other sites roll now!:
They're ALL cool on their own, right? But we're sorting in alphabetical order first and foremost:
Andrei
Clearnet: https://andrei.xyz
Onion/Tor: http://andrei3ufgijpzogyai6ejcrdwevzediyzubgqiltc2k42c2zyeakhid.onion/
Although we do not personally know Andrei his site is very graphical and professional-looking (in part because of his professional life as a web designer he however keeps work and fun separate) . His blog talks about tech but predominantly reviews music and movies. They are very up-to-date showing things happening in their life and they have another area called "Project 366", a collage of photos they have taken. It is super rich in content and one of those sites that we were happy to discover via the webring. Andrei has made a script that includes at the very least the preview pictures from YouTube preventing their website from looking like it's breaking apart. Because a lot of their YouTube links are reviews this is possibly the best solution one could ask for as short of going through every link and redirecting to creators that don't country-lock their videos. In general, it's been one of the sites that I've enjoyed revisiting.
AnubianHost Web Hosting Provider
Clearnet: http://www.anubianhost.com/
Our Web Host provider. Which unlike some of my experiences with web-hosting plans we've had no problems with this furry ran and provided site. Stay away from the BlueHost and GoDaddy's of the world kids. They may offer unlimited storage. You will pay for "unlimited" in other ways.
Update: 11/26/2024 - Because of how small the provider is. They're going through some hard times. Had to pull back some services. We'll stay with Anubianhost until the very end.
Dhole Moments
Clearnet: https://soatok.blog/
Dhole Moments by Soatok is a furry blogger that deals with cryptography, and security and has a lot of insight into the furry fandom. He was one of those sites that we looked up to a lot when building our own as not only was he a furry but also been running WordPress for his CMS as well. Don't know the guy personally but certainly falls into the inspiration category of why it's important to self-host and to blog as described by his article (external). Perhaps like them, if pushed via troll mail we need to "increase the furry" on this site as well. He has since released his variant of this cellar door that's entitled "Featured Furries" and we are honored to be on such a list. Thank you very much!
Float Overblow
Clearnet: https://floatoverblow.com
A great musician and a personal friend of mine. They finally put up a website for all to check out his musical talent. He's a writer too which as he gets his site built up a little more we will get to see. He gets that certain aesthetic of the net that we enjoy. The glitch! Oh, the wonderful glitch!
Forever Like This
Clearnet: https://foreverliketh.is/
Foreverlikethis is rather content-rich in the fact that the admin is a teacher and thus shares some of those stories of teaching with the rest of the net. As a result has a lot of book recommendations for different topics as well as throwing down their own opinions and reviews on topics, anime, and shows. etc. One of the biggest things this site is going for is its striving for interconnectivity with as many Webrings as humanly possible. Thus, their site almost serves as a directory listing of some of the more active webrings out there. This site also has a content warning/NFSW area which are just topics that aren't for children. Thus, it's good for the rest of the net!
Furnation Reborn
Clearnet: https://furnationreborn.com/
Furnation Reborn is a historical site preserved by Logan Scrythe which is a part of the Furry Restoration Group (external). Furnation was a lot of things. It was a zine that published stories to the furry community. It had an impact in the early days of Second Life being one of the largest furry land barons within the metaverse. Even a Minecraft server for a bit too. But the thing that the Furry Restoration group focuses on is the web-providing side of Furnation in respect that it became a home for a lot of furry artists during a time when website hosting was costly. They even had a Webring that cross-promoted many artists on their network. It was a site that we even visited growing up and we have known a handful of artists who used their services and contributed to some of the various comics they've had.
No, we never had a Furnation website. During our MUCK'ing days we always thought to have a website there you needed to be published on their zine. But that's all changed now.
The final thing to say about the Furnation Reborn site is they have also picked up the FurRing. The timing couldn't be better given how Google is taking a nosedive in giving people the correct results. We are big fans of Webrings as we have a page dedicated to it. If you are too, it's worth checking out.
Getimiskon's Space
Clearnet: https://getimiskon.xyz/
I2P: http://s5jiovqhpzbjqqibtd5ophlpnmcgenlmbvevzfq2hj5iepwix3aq.b32.i2p
Onions/Tor: http://r53zi7kxyqd72fuvhztzi25fo2bze7fqjefze7k6t6kiq74pzaq5suyd.onion/
OpenNIC: http://getimiskon.geek/
Getimiskon started as a simple neocities website which has since graduated to being their self-hosted entity. A fine example of what Neocities was designed to do is to help people start websites. I've undergone several redesigns and right now looks rather nice. We did find the Webring at the bottom of the page so all good there! They have been super friendly to me in Mastodon. Originally we had https://getimiskon.neocities.org/ which also worked as well. We guess it's nice to have the old Neocities one up still so people can see how the site has historically changed throughout the years. We are very glad they graduated to their domain on this one!
Gimon Zone
Clearnet: https://gimon.zone/
Alex @ Gimon.Zone is a super-talented artist who listened to my insane rants and made his blog online! Holy shit - Their site is amazing and did a spectacular job putting it all together. The majority of their art is NSFW/18+ so fair warning to the readers. Alex is certainly more dialed in than most out there! Now like a lot of people who self-host this is certainly not their first iteration with going through a domain name change and all. May not be their later iteration as well!
Hotline Cafe.
Clearnet: https://hotlinecafe.com/
Don't know these people. However, dig the retro/vaporwave aesthetics of this site and they have a ton of resources on how to do it yourself. They also developed a very competent GTA1/2 style game complete with music which is amazing in its own right. It's worth checking them out.
InfoChammel
All the time... ALL THE TIME! - Fred Furner.
Clearnet: http://www.infochammel.com/
InfoChammel is a wonderful parody of what would happen if public broadcasting existed in the future. As a creation of Davy Force; InfoChammel serves as satire at both the mainstream media and its viewing audience! It is brilliant with its 8-bit glitch graphics featuring the infamous Fred Furner as well as many other strange characters that show up from time to time. The shows of InfoChammel sometimes referred to as PrimoHD which was a Separate Davy Force YouTube Channel were surprisingly more plot-orientated than most of the movies you get from the "Scy-Fy" network. No kidding! They are only growing from here on out accepting user submissions. My review of Infochammel is published here. Check them out it's great!
Jillian Mayer
Clearnet: http://www.jillianmayer.net/
Jillian Mayer is the Goddess of the Internet and a great artist residing in Miami, FL, USA with Vimeo and YouTube films such as #postmodem mocking futurism. Her current project "Slumpies" deals with tackling the discomforting effects of excessive cellphone usage. She's a magical artist and someone to who we look up within the landscape of the net. The title is purposefully overexposed as she does not have a website logo per se so I think this will do fine.
Kainless
Clearnet: http://www.kainless.com/
With a new site redesign, Kainless (external)is a blogger like myself who is one of the best friends I have had. Hard-running Mortal Kombat fan! Covering video games, comics, and political topics abroad. If you like my site then you'll love his site!
JWZ
Clearnet: https://www.jwz.org/
This is the blog of Jamie Zawinski. A programmer, club owner in California, and blogger. Some of the things this man finds simply blow our minds. We enjoyed reading his works when he was still on Livejournal and he continues to impress me with his mad Web (1.x?) skills. We've never met the man but perhaps someday we should make a trip out to his place. A truly amazing mind to behold. We have never met him personally nor talked to him directly online. But his blog is one of my inspirations for leaving Web 2.0 and embracing the blog that we have today. We're not sure if Jamie will ever read this. But if you are out there. Thank you for being awesome. You are an inspiration to me
MayVaneDay
Clearnet: http://mayvaneday.org
I2p: http://zli2qsg54w7y42vgw4xxlnj4nktcpg7xp33yjxkp33sjafvznbwa.b32.i2p
Onion/Tor: http://meynethaffeecapsvfphrcnfrx44w2nskgls2juwitibvqctk2plvhqd.onion/
MayVaneDay is the personal blog we learned about when trying to spread the word about Tor. Her blogs made us think about how we go about the net. That we should dial back the whole shouting out a manifesto to the net and instead focus on just being good and making content. Certainly one of the sites that we look up to. Although it appears the personal blog section is not necessarily 'gone' as we initially thought it's just simply not linked to their front page anymore. Which means it could come back.
Wished we had a higher-rez version of their banner.
NOTE: that the following sites are also run by this admin:
Let's Decentralize
Clearnet:https://letsdecentralize.org/
I2P: http://mqtlargpv4247iylywxw6ibi6qpz6my5duqm33c4lcdhjg5yfh7q.b32.i2p/
Onion/Tor: http://hikariu7kodaqrmvu3c3y422r6jc7gqtpvvbry6u7ajvranukx6gszqd.onion/
Let's Decentralize promotes the entire notion of being on every part of the net no matter what. They are interested in new protocols and provided that it doesn't turn into shit Web3 ponzi scheme fuckery they're more than likely ready to research and try it out. They also run an extensive list of sites that are hand-checked which far exceed what we have in our Cellar Door alone.
Dead End Shrine Online
Clearnet: https://deadendshrine.online/
I2P: http://2a55el42cobuxtls7iv6eoimejocybdekwnnaefcn4u2f5eydela.b32.i2p/
Onion/Tor: http://blapi36sowfyuwzp4ag24xb3d4zdrzgtafez3g3lkp2rj4ho7lxhceid.onion/
MayVaneDay's more creative side with writing various chapters online for all to read. It's really good! Someday hope to have that kind of structure in my site.
Numou
Clearnet: https://www.numou.net/
Numou describes themselves as an anthropomorphic fox/imp who has ventured forth to host his website, which showcases some of the furry-related stories he has written and artwork of his character often completed by other artists within the community.
Fair warning: The stories are for a mature audience! So for those who are looking for some good writing and don't mind the mild NSFW action. This is a great site to check out! Numou also hosts the artwork of his characters and his original story characters here as well. Just mind the underwear.;)
Pixel Dust
Clearnet: https://aronsmusings.wordpress.com/
Pixel Dust (A.K.A Aron's Musings) was a starting WordPress blog by one of my ex-roommates and good friends. Unfortunately, the site didn't go much further than the first few articles but then again blogging for years does require patience. So we understand.
Rant Radio
Clearnet: http://www.rantradio.com/
This was a host of many of the shows that we listened to when growing up and provides just a wonderful amount of angry media to dig your hands into until your fingers and nothing but bloody stumps! The archives are entertaining to go through. They are another part of our inspiration for how we conduct ourselves on this blog. Valuing privacy above all other things while looking at corporations with a smile and handshake while holding a gun underneath the table.
Rant Social
Clearnet: http://www.rant.social/
We do not like serving links to sites that do not have a follow-up. Although Rant-Radio is pretty much in Cryofreeze for reasons unknown. (I'm going to go with Cimm and Sean Kennedy to film a 30-year social experience project that will make it the longest documentary on the human condition) However enough of my conspiracy theories. Rant Social is a continuation of what RantRadio stood for. Self-empowerment and finding media and information that is free to distribute without the terror of copyright-like what YouTube and Twitch are facing right now. This site is just getting off of the group but the plans they have are promising. So definitely keep an eye on these guys.
Repair.org
Clearnet: https://repair.org
It will probably come as no surprise that we are supporters of repair.org. But what this organization does is fight for the rights of technicians to have the ability to fix things in order to keep the industry working. This is anything from cars, phones, industrial machinery, and more. Currently, there are companies out there that think that an unauthorized person who repairs their equipment should be jailed. Even if the person repairing it purchased and owns that piece of equipment. Companies are using intellectual property as a weapon to beat down their end-users and small business owners in order to prematurely end the life of their products forcing the consumer to buy even more. If you want to donate to anything; This group be a good cause.
Shr4pnelNet
Clearnet: https://blog.shr4pnel.com/
Shr4pnel's website is a simple yet updated personal blog which reached out to us on Mastodon. This individuals site is often confused/criticized for not having content such as a webring and all of that when in reality he has chosen a single-page design to discuss multiple topics and categories. There's plenty of content there so don't let the single page design fool you!
Slushbin
Clearnet: https://slushbin.net/
The admin is responsible for pointing us in the right direction regarding the webrings happening So blame them! Thank you very much for informing us about this and being a part of their community. Getting down to their website it's a nicely designed site with many different topics. Super brief music reviews. Some art that they share. And finally, a great array of pictures. Certainly, check this person out!
Strange Definition
Clearnet: https://strangedefinition.com/
There was a bit of back and forth on this (because for a very long time, they had their art site underneath https://renmorrison.art/ ) but ultimately this is their primary site for blogging. A long-time friend from the early days of the furry fandom wherein we met at a convention in Michigan a long time ago... In a Galaxy far- nope not doing that. They gave us some Gift art for which we are forever thankful. They have rebooted themselves with a new blog showing off their art, zines, and other things great. Since they are a self-standing site this more than qualifies to be in the Cellar Door of all things beautiful.
END OF BLOGROLL CALL+++
OMG! Where's the Webrings?!?!?
All webrings are still apart of are listed in the footer on every page of this site.
Would you like to stick S-Config into your Cellar Door?
That sounded pretty creepy. But that's okay. We like it that way!
Self-shilling - Advertisement MeatSpace.
Where's YOUR link S?!? - Anonymous
"Link" never existed. There was only Zelda. She used Link as an alter ego to justify her horrible actions all across Hyrule while maintaining her supposed royal purity. Being Kidnapped by Gannon is just a psychological metaphor for locking away one's consciousness so Zelda does not have to face the horrors of her actions head-on. Total Fight Club complex.
OH! That "link". Sweet Jimminy fucking Christmas were we off!
Download our banner advertisements.
That being said if you STILL want to add me to your website here are my formatted banners. Because of the aggressive nature of this website, we've 7-zipped the logos for you. You can download it here, or click on the download image within this paragraph.
Animated goodness @ 240x60 size variable but the gif is 3MB in space. Might be a bit of a heavy-boi for some admins.
Static 7KB 240x60 banner for those not feeling like eating 3MB on the animated one.
Need a smol-boy? 88x31 button is available as well!
In closing.
Thank you to those who have inspired us. And thank you to those who placed our badges on your website. It is most appreciated especially in this new era of information war. Take care out there and until next time.
Server protect you.
