This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

As a website owner, you would just register your site with a ring and then add a bit of HTML at the bottom of your page which would display the randomly-selected banner of another site in the ring (and your banner would sometimes be displayed on another site). So visitors could just click on the banners and be taken through a circuit of interesting (sometimes) websites.

Ah, so basically a list/group of partner sites

But, like, for non-commercial fan sites, not for influencers.

Not really, because you would click an arrow to get to the next website. It didn't list everything out.

Does that still exist? I have a subpage on my website with interesting links, this could be something for it.

I haven't seen a web ring in more than 20 years.
