There were alot of problems with the old webring and the transition to the
new yahoo site, so we created a new one on there, this is now the official
webring.

Anyone wishing to join can do so at

I HIGHLY suggest you use something else besides Yahoo for a webring. I use
bravenet.com, but I know that isn't that great either. However, at least
you don't have to be a member.

You could set up your own webring on your own server. It's just a CGI
script, and there are several of them available for free or cheap.

That is probably the best way to go.

Factor,
You know... Before you go off and make us start signing up for Yahoo
accounts... You could try asking arround about it a little. Maby this wasn't
totally your decision. But AWCI needs to know that there are plenty of
talented people out there. Many of whom (including me), I'm sure would help
write a coustomized CGI script to run on AW's servers. You could, as
"percipient" stated, look for a free script. This would be better overall
for the webring, as AWCI could directly control all aspects of the
operation, and you have a group of people who could update/modify the script
as need be. Just try asking for stuff, and you'll probably come out with
better results.....

I'm not getting this...
What's the difference between the new webring and the old one?
Old one: http://nav.webring.yahoo.com/hub?ring=awcof
New: http://nav.webring.yahoo.com/hub?ring=activeworlds
They're both on Yahoo.
The old one had 143 sites in the list.
Why change something that worked just fine?

120 of those 143 sites are outdated, broken, nonexistent, etc. :) And we're
not really Circle of Fire anymore either. :)

It is all my decision.

I dont ahve time to do anything else, yahoogroups is the easiest way to go
about it, so I jsut put it up on there, I'm sorry if no one likes it but
well, you dont really have to join it, its up to you.

If someone wants to write a script, then sure, go head and do it, and mail
it to me, and I will upload it - but if it requires any more work than jsut
uploading it, it wont happen, because in all honesty, the webring isnt
really a priority at the moment and I dont have the time to work on anything
extraneous.

But for now, the yahoo ring is it, sorry, it was either jsut throw that up
or kill the webring thing entirely, as its not a huge priority at the
moment.

When it moved fromt he old company to webring, they lost all of the contact
information for us, and we have tried unsuccessfully for the past year or so
to get admin access to it again, so, we started fresh.

Yes you do what you have to do to make it work and it's too bad they wouldn't be
more cooperative with you, but possibly having it on your own server would save
you alot of the problems you had in the past, lol Try to work with someone to
make that happen, you've put the call out. :)
