Ello. You have all these great sites in the renderosity webring, but the front page listing of them never changes. If it does, I haven't noticed. If it goes in the order of what's getting the most hits, maybe they're getting a lot of hits because THEY'RE ON THE FRONT PAGE. Wouldn't it be nice to have a good RANDOM listing so Cake-1 doesn't get ALL the hits? incidently, I don't have anything on the web ring, it just seems kinda screwy.

It would be cool if we could have, say, a Top 10 that stay there and are counted due to hits, but then also a rotating 5 or so which get displayed randomly with new pages or new sessions.

that would be cool. So... are we waiting for a certain shade of green?

I'll admit I haven't looked at it recently, but I seem to recall when I signed up on the web ring, there is a thingie that explains how to reach the "Top 15". It had to do with how many visitors on your site use the ring logo to visit here. The more traffic your site directs to here, the higher on the ring you go. So the Top 15 aren't getting there because people are clicking from here to there, but because they're clicking from there to here. And that's neither here nor there. ;)

where are we again??? Well, if that's the case, then why not keep the top 10 listed, and have the other 5 spots rotated randomly, kida like the grafitti wall at the bottom of it. It uses like 2/3rds of the page for recent postings, and then the last part just pops up random comments from the past. Like i said, and hwat Mike suggested, why not do that? There are god knows how many sites listed in the web ring, but the top 10 never change spots rarely. Why not get other pages exposure? It surely couldn't hurt, and the coding for such a thing couldn't be THAT complicated if the graffitti wall is already doing it...

I may be a dumb Aussie but ..... This isn't just a top 15 gripe - I quote the web ring referal rules "Your position in the Web Ring is calculated when the Ring is resequenced. It is a function of recently referred members (last 30 days), total members referred, and total visitors referred. There is a strong emphasis on recent member referrals in the calculation. Be sure to use the link code below to ensure your position in the ring. Members with minimal referral activity are deleted from the ring/sponsorship program after 30 days." Ah - excuse me but most of the people who would want to view Poser sites come from within the community itself. Maybe to comply and not get deleted we should perhaps send out spam letters - or perhaps the wording needs changing? Really who but someone with an interest in Poser is going to type into a search engine "Poser Graphics" or something similar? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
