I remember web rings. I used to own a couple of sites that were part of a web ring. I remember it was actually hard to get into them back then -- the maintainers only wanted quality sites and you had to submit yours for review and explain to them why you deserved to be included. They were actually a decent source of traffic in the early days, before search engines became a thing.

Yes, I very recently thought about them for the first time in decades, while pondering the platformization of the web.

Those and stumbleupon were fun surfing!

I wasn't exactly talking about webrings, but now I'd like to see one. Can you link me to one please?

These webrings with graphical designs most accurately capture my memories of them (possibly at their height) from the late 90s.

I also got thinking about them in the last month or so. I thought it might be fun/interesting to put one together today for the sake of nostalgia.
