Attached Link: The List, Thus Far

I've posted the list. I'm up to 420 sites now, 132 missing/closed/without webring code.

Attached Link: Where has this site gone?

Good on you both for having valid code! My site, does too. Now, though...Creations has to resign up....why haven't the sites that are no longer viable been removed from the webring? If they aren't there any longer, don't have the webring code or a link to R'osity available, even if they do have pages saying they are closed, how can they be generating referrals?! For example, InDepth Arts, one of the top 15 listed over in the sidebar...when you click on it, comes up page not found. It has every time I've tried it over the past 3-4 days. Either they haven't updated their webring info, or the site's gone. But it's still up there in the top15. I'm not picking on anyone, just relating what I've found. I've gone through 285 sites so far, and 33% have been gone or don't display the proper webcode. Some do have links to Renderosity...but sometimes, it's their own R'osity Homepage, or their store. The webring doesn't work right for everyone, if 8 of the top 15 only have a link to R'osity with their referral code in it. That doesn't give anyone the option to surf the webring to look at other sites, and that's what a webring is supposed to be for...to spread the hits around to all of the sites in the ring. They can't be spread if webring members don't display the proper code! Every time someone decides to surf the webring, 33% of the time, they're going to hit a dead end every 3 sites or so. If, IF it holds out as I go along, checking sites, and stays at 33% being gone, or not displaying the proper code. Those sites hurt the webring, and the webring members who DO display the webring code as they should. In other words, not displaying the proper webring code isn't fair to everyone who does, so that surfers can cruise on via the webring to check out different sites. I'm going back to work on checking sites, so I can have a full and complete list for the mods, and then maybe the webring list will get it's overdue weeding out. I'll post the list on a page on my own website so anyone can check for their site....some just probably need to update their webring info, like 4F-Creations! :)

Well, I can help with a list! :) What about the sites that don't have the webring code on them?

Why don't they just delete all the sites in the webring, and then anyone who wants to resign up can? How many sites are listed, anyway? I know what my position is, but that doesn't tell me the total number of sites. It looks to be holding fairly firm at 33-35% of the sites being gone or not having the proper webring code. It'd be the easiest thing! :P I'm only semi-joking, lol.

95 out of the first 285 listed sites are gone, or don't display the code. I've had at least 2 redirects to search pages, one redirect to Officemax, one bad link(Um, Renapd, might want to edit your listing), a few sites that just would not load, etc. Taking a break...who wants the list thus far? I've got a .txt file all ready! :P

I might add, 8 of the top 15 listed over in the sidebar have no webring code!! How do they get to be toplisted?

Not yet...still going through the webring. Hit 150, and 35% are gone, or don't display webring code. Then our internet went down, lol....so I was offline for an hour or so. Back to work on it, then I'll send in a list. :) I obviously have no life, eh? LOL

I've viewed the 1st 105 sites....34 don't have code, are gone, or won't load(I have highspeed). That's roughly 1/3 of them! That's ridiculous.

LOL...wasn't an ebot, nor a spam folder thing. I just started using a new email client, and it did something weird. All fixed now! I haven't gotten any blank pages since I posted the original message.

Ooh, I don't have that software, so I'm not sure...sounds like that's exactly what it would do, though. If it does, it should save the thumbnail with the same filename you choose for the larger one...maybe in a different format, like .GIF, or maybe it adds a 'tb' to the filename? I swear, I used that software before...I should know this! LOL

When you upload your image, you have can browse for your image on your harddrive, and you can browse for your thumbnail, too. To add it to your already uploaded images, just click on edit under each image, and that upload screen will come up again. All you do is browse for your thumbnail...you don't have to reupload the main image.

They have to sign up to see your gallery? None of my friends or family have had to (not even those containing nudity).I think the total surfers number is all members and visitors. Great as the R'osity community is, not everyone joins it, lol.

Ooh, I like that idea!

Okay, people...can we all just say 'Sorry for the misunderstanding', and agree to forget about it? I've been in a 4 year long situation with one person saying a bunch of bull about me online, and pulling crap towards me offline, as well, and I've responded/defended myself on it...it's just not really worth it. It can be amusing, but in this situation, this forum, etc, etc, it's really better just to apologize, sweep it under the rug, and everyone get back to their normal business. My .02, nothing harsh meant towards anyone...misunderstandings happen all the time, and often become more than what they started out as...human nature.

Did you not report it to the mods or someone? Seems that they could do something about it. Sorry to hear about this...no one should have the right to run someone else off from something they enjoy doing. Best wishes.
