Recently, as I'd been reading Reddit, I stumbled on to a few posts of people feeling nostagia for the way the Internet used to be.  Back before popular Social Media with community forums, fan-shrines, etc, and I thought about the Webring.  This was essential during that early startup phase of the Internet, before Google had found a way to advertise to us to death.

I thought about either joining up with a Webring or starting one up, but, the old tech is simply gone today.  The old site, webring.org is no longer in existence.  So, I'd have to manually start up a webring, which would probably just end up being a series of links, and getting other forum admins to agree to using a webring could be tricky too.  Most administrators covet their members, and outright fear losing members to other forums.  Like, there's this stupid level of toxic behavior.  I participate in a number of different forums.  Each one has a different taste to it, most of them are anime based or about creative writing, and forum administration.  Some days, I give more attention to some forums over others.

Maybe I just don't see the big deal, and I despise the idea of hoarding members.
