The advantage of this is that the webring itself can serve as a master table of contents, permitting people to quickly get to the articles they want.
The disadvantage is that each contributer needs to link each of his pages (or major pages) to the webring with the proper codes.
Note that some could choose under one link per page to have justy one link per site and sacrifice some of the table of contents feature for their pages.

Creating a new more useful ring, for the new ICE makes sence, sort of leaner meaner and better.
and by keeping both rings open you get the best of both worlds.
as for a link on each page - it could look messy on some site, and making work for people could turn people away.
As it's a good idea starting a new ring , the sooner the better.
Sorry it took so long to post, my first visit the site was down and I've been busy or forgetful since.
Good luck with the new ring and count us in...

As some of you may know, this WebRing has been around in some form or another since 1996 when it was called the Rolemaster/MERP WebRing. Alot of changes have occurred since then, included the demise and rebirth of ICE and several ownership changes to the WebRing system itself.
One thing that hasn't changed is the content of some of the sites on this ring. There are quite a few sites that still have the old Red Sword logo, haven't had any content changes in years, and that I have had no luck in getting hold of the owners. I don't really want to lose these sites but at the same time I think they may be limiting the usefulness of this WebRing for other people.
What I'm considering doing is renaming this ring back to being the Rolemaster/MERP WebRing (since I can't migrate to old sites to a seperate ring) and then starting up a new ring, the ICE RPG WebRing that will have somewhat stricter requirements.
This ring will only have sites that deal primarly with current ICE products, i.e. Sites that primarily have MERP content will not be included, a valid email address will be required, and stricter content requirements will be enforced, i.e. there must actually be some useful content on the site.
The current webring would continue to exist, and sites could belong to both rings if they want.
How many people would be interested in this? And, would any of you be interested in being on a "review committee" that would decide whether a site should qualify for membership?

Hello:
I have to say that I really like the updated look of the WebRing account pages a lot better. Not sure when you changed them, but I think they're a lot nicer. Wasn't sure where else to post this, so I figured here was as good as anywhere.
Regards,
