Re: How important are webrings?

[SandridgeFarm]

Yes, I see webrings as important to the persons who share the same interest or topic of the webring.
A sort of small community, with the only thing missing being a way for members of that community to interact with each other.
You mention a 'guestbook', but maybe what every webring needs is a mailing list with archive.
Unfortunately the so called 'free' mail lists are cluttered with banner adds and pop-ups and destroy not enhance the webring experience......
Anyone had success running a self hosted webring mailing list?
Not only do webrings make it easier to find similar resources on the web, but more importantly they make it easier for people to find other persons who share the same interests as they do.
