Lots of webring talk this week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38268706

And Related last week:

Ask HN: Why is there no effort to bring back webrings?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38177128

And this thread with some 'rings and related threads listed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37577861

Oh hells yeah bring back webrings.

I'm gonna make a personal website just to hop on the bandwagon.

Make the internet 1999 again.

Seems a little fragile. I don't see how to get past https://flbn.sh/

This is the „beauty“ of web rings. Low tech, but brittle if not everyone plays to the rules xD

Wonder if we could get a multipath routing/BGP-style ring going.

Sure, we could.

IIRC they were less "broken" with frames (modulo aesthetic taste) but honestly I don't see the problem with the ring "breaking". Browsers have back buttons; brains do tree search.

If I'm to be an internet reactionary I'd commit to the bit -- underlined blue text to indicate a link, URLs that don't break, active use of the back button and history, etc. =)

I've been working on a silly personal website for a while for this exact reason: starting a webring. Specifically, I've decided to just reject replacing the social media platforms I've left. It's lovely to see others bringing back webrings.

I guess the name is just random? These websites don't seem to have anything to do with fire chicken. [1]

Interesting. "Fire chicken" is also what they call turkeys in China.
