"We do require that you use the provided link and graphic on your site...The Renderosity links can go in your Links section, but it should only be a couple of clicks away from the "Front Page". Thanks for the feedback. Go Web Ring! --Asher" - from the link given above (http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?Form.ShowMessage=1531579) That was from in November, 2003. So then, you had to use the proper webring code and graphic....and now you don't? I'm curious, since I've been going through the webring....were there just too many sites not using the proper webring code that the Webring Rules were changed to accomadate them? And this is unofficial? TERMS AND CONDITIONS: You may post as many art-related links to our Web Ring as you like, although we will only track the number of new members who join us through your sites. The name of the link can not be misleading. The following are unacceptable links: Non art-related sites Money making schemes. Click brokering. Link exchanges. Sites Under Construction Pornographic sites. Any sites with a primary focus on images of rape, torture, sexual acts, or physical arousal. When you submit your link, it will go into pending until the legitimacy of the site and compliance with the Upload Agreement can be verified. Your link may not appear on our site until after the first referred member joins up. You may receive emails from us regarding webring information. People found trying to abuse the Web Ring in any way, or creating fraudulent accounts to boost their ranking, will be deleted from the Web Ring and possibly banned from the community. These terms are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to pull any link at any time. If we find you have deleted your link to us, we reserve the right to remove your sponsorship links on our site. If you have any questions, please email admin@renderosity.com. No where in there does it say just a link is okay....it says you can post as many links to R'osity as you like on your site. I find I'm still not happy with the situation, because the webring can't be doing what a webring is supposed to do for its members, not with 'just links' being okay when people don't want the webring code on their site. If you don't want webring code on your site, then don't join a webring. If you want to be a member of a webring, then post the proper code and be a responsible member.
