I have followed the links in the original email, and it appears that yahoo has split webring off again and we all need to migrate our sites from yahoo to webring. This appears to involve a lot of hassle - you need to obtain your original yahoo id and password (I never ever had one as far as I know) and use that to migrate your web site.
The ringmaster will also be getting an email to migrate his entire ring. Any sites not migrated, will simply not be on the new webring. Here's the email with the links, mind you, I'm not sure if these apply only to my web site, so be careful out there ! Norman. 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. http://edit.webring.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/migrate Transfer my existing ring information to the new WebRing servers 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 http://dir.webring.com/rw WebRing site.
