Subject: [OT] web ring
What the heck has happened to the web ring?!? Is Yahoo taking over the world? While trying to search the "FT Ring Only" I get an error message "acess forbiden" or something similar.

> What the heck has happened to the web ring?!? Is Yahoo taking over Yahoo has taken over webring.org. Evetything was down yesterday but should be working again today. You now have to have a Yahoo ID to have a site on a web ring, and on new additions instead of the old set of HTML links there will be a JavaScript include (so users with JS disabled don't get to see web rings any more!) that writes in a nasty set of links (including some to Yahoo of course). Existing sites and links will continue to work for the time being, though Yahoo aren't saying how long that will be. All very annoying. I'm trying to get the SFSFW web ring which I run sorted out.
