As for rings having 0 sites being automatically deleted after a pre-determined amount of time - I LOVE the idea! Yes please Gunnar!

A couple of months ago I spent a whole weekend cleaning my ring system http://alt-webring.com/ of abandoned rings. I had 500+ rings on my system and about 300 were abandoned with 0 sites. It was a painful time-consuming exercise!

Or, in lieu of automatic deletion, how about a new page for the system admin that lists the following:

- all the rings on a system,
- the date each ring was created,
- the number of member sites, and
- links for each ring to view, delete and send email to a RM.

Personally I like the latter better.

Automatic deletion might encourage people to run Ringlink on autopilot, and that's not what the program is aimed at.
