Yahoo has taken over webring.org. Evetything was down yesterday but
should be working again today.
You now have to have a Yahoo ID to have a site on a web ring, and on
new additions instead of the old set of HTML links there will be a
JavaScript include (so users with JS disabled don't get to see web
rings any more!) that writes in a nasty set of links (including some
to Yahoo of course). Existing sites and links will continue to work
for the time being, though Yahoo aren't saying how long that will be.
All very annoying. I'm trying to get the SFSFW web ring which I run
sorted out.
