I have no idea...I had the same question. I tried to point out that a webring only works the way it's meant to if all members have the full and proper webring code on their sites. But, R'osity prefers to not enforce it, so therefore, they have a webring that isn't a real webring. shrug

Doesn't do any good...I started going through the webring a couple of months ago. R'osity doesn't require the full webring code to be placed on member sites...as long as there's a referral link, they consider that okay. So, the webring doesn't work the way a webring's supposed to. Speaking of which, will someone remove my site from the webring, please? http://dragondigitalis.com I'm removing the webring code from my index page...it doesn't generate but a few hits a month, so it's just taking up space. Thanks.

My sympathies to his family and friends.

"is like trying to knit spaghetti in poor light" LOL...I thought it was just me...every site I've been on today has been slow.

I don't think Spike's been 'harassing' Teri...he has responded a few times that they are working to fulfill her request.

I think it's V2, with BlackHearted's Selyne texture. She looks like my V2 with that texture. That's pretty cool.

Congratulations!!

Thank you, cermit!!

Way to go, people! Congratulations! :)

"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.

"-We allow linking as well as placing code." Then the webring doesn't work the way a webring is intended to. Just a referral link on a site stops the webring surfing for those who use webrings to find sites of similiar content. If someone starts at my site, for example, uses the webring's NEXT, then: http://3d.cartoonhit.com/links/index.htm (has WR code) http://ywaters0.tripod.com/3ddesign.htm (has WR code) http://www.3dluvr.com/chrisann/ (has WR code) http://gingerstu.co.uk/ Where I deadend, because that last site has no webring code or even a link. It could have just as easily been a site that has no webring code, but does have a referral link...which would send me to R'osity. A whole five sites viewed, with the last one not even mentioning R'osity, much less the webring. I'm really not trying to be difficult about it, and I understand that R'osity allows just linking. But if you're just going to post a link to R'osity, then do that. Don't clutter the webring up with sites that are not working towards making the webring work the way it's supposed to, and thus depriving sites that do of visitors.

Thanks for the link! I laughed my rear off!

I changed that on Strike A Pose, Helen, thank you! I haven't gone through the entire webring, of course, not yet. I figure at the least, my list will give the webring mods a starting place...they could get rid of all the dead sites first! :) Thanks, Ardiva...I looked, so that I'd know which site it was. I'll do editing on my list as I go along, if people do as you guys have done and let me know. Grey_Tower, did you happen to see webring code on either of those sites? I took a quick look, planning to go back later. I look for the code on the index page, or the links page. IF there's a webring page, I check there. IF the site has several sections, I check out the galleries to see if there's a link there. I have made note of whether a link to R'osity is displayed, even if the webring code isn't. Most R'osity links I've seen so far are member referral links...have the webring member's info so that they are credited with any referrals the link generates. Which is great for R'osity, yeah, but not so great for the rest of the webring members, lol. Sometimes they just need a friendly nudge so that they edit their webring listing. I don't think anyone is purposely trying to plant 'breaks' in the webring...a lot of people don't like to have webring code on a page, especially if they're members of several. Everyone's been really great about my self-imposed little quest, and I appreciate it.
