Hey,

Just got this in my hotmail inbox:

Dear WebRing Member,

That's right, WebRing is no longer a part of the Yahoo! network.

What this means to you: You MUST request to have your existing ring
and/or
site data transferred to the new WebRing servers.

Yahoo!'s "Terms of Service" does not allow member information to be
transferred to another entity, including WebRing. If you would like to keep
your WebRing you must request to have it transferred by following the link
below.

 <a href="http://edit.webring.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/migrate">Transfer my
existing
 ring information to the new WebRing servers</a>

 Please note, your ring/site WILL NOT be transferred automatically, you
must follow the link above and complete the transfer process. Rings ans Sites
not transferred will be lost once the migration period is over.

Questions can be best answered by visiting the new <a
 href="http://dir.webring.com/rw">WebRing site</a>.

 Thanks

I got the message too, but I haven't got the id for the ring.

The ID is "ftnet" for the full thrust network ring. However, I think that it
can only be moved by the "owner" of the web ring, Michael Blair.

The FT ring seems to be dead(ish). I applied to join the Webring
sometime ago, but have never been approved - this is a right royal pain,
because the Webring image which is generated for my site shows me to be a
member, but if you click on the Nav buttons it throws up an error.

Has anybody tried to get in touch with Michael? I was able to move my
individual sites, and I found his home page, but haven't heard anything from
him in a LONG time, and the home page for the ring itself is kaput.

If worst comes to worst I believe you can adopt a abandoned ring
