My reasoning for relaunching my website earlier is due to me, calibrat_o and SilverJetes having made peace following recent disagreements, with me addressing some of the concerns that their team had with my content. I would like to quickly admit that I have made some awful decisions as to what I repost on my Pleroma instance, consisting of mostly minors. I promise from here on out that I will actually take reposts into consideration before committing to them properly.
This is a massive step in the right direction, and a huge case study in the responsibility of not only myself, but also of external sources. The information and advice that the 2 have given me will be strongly taken into account and actioned upon effective immediately, and even moreso on November 15th, which is when I will return to YouTube, with hopefully a collaboration with NetworkSealEast set to release not long after that.[1] Please do be aware that there is no changes planned to the content I provide - I will still be focused on being the Greenhithe-based bus spotter and AI music enthusiast that I was before this situation went down, and I have no plans to change this any time soon.
As well as this, I'm proud to announce that I will be returning to the ONCE community, and Discord as a whole, on October 1st, and will begin to answer questions and become active again as I was before this situation occurred. Alongside this, my Discord server will be made open to the public with an application proceedure before you can join, which is something I have been wanting to do for quite a while at this point.
Service on this site is expected to resume in the early hours of September 24th 2026, to co-incide with the London South East Colleges Bromley Freshers Fair. Please note that the site, unlike my old site, will be entirely coded by hand with Visual Studio with no AI support, as I realized that my previous website that Claude assisted with was causing quite a bit of backlash (notice I say "assisted" here; my original website was originally coded by hand too, but to make updates easier, I had switched to Claude and iterated from there). The only input from external sources will be small snippets from W3schools and Stack Overflow, everything else will be my work. You can press the F12 key on your keyboard when the site goes live to audit it from there.

Thank you for your understanding.
