bringing back the 2000s/2010s webring?

[dietcokeorchoke]

I have a WIP neocities site surrounding scene/emo subculture and then a bit about the 00s-10s in general: https://letsmakeascene.neocities.org

I have a mostly completed Carrd that I'm bringing over to neocities so I don't have to pay carrd for the features I'm using going forward: https://letsmakeascene.carrd.co

they do or will cover fashion, subcultures, fandoms and fandom stuff, media, oldweb and websites in general, and things like activities online and offline to do to bring back that feel of being a kid or teen pre-algorithmic social media. A small part of my goal is to give kids a place to learn new outlets for their creativity, so I'm mostly looking for not-explicit sexual content on websites. But not strictly SFW, because more than anything else this is a time capsule/interest site/reminder to myself to do the things that make me happy and I am 28.

So- yeah! I'm looking for anyone who has similar websites and wants to be in a webring. Fandoms, subcultures, nostalgia, oldweb, whatever, just 2000s-2010s-ish stuff.

I'm so embarrassed to admit this on MelonLand, but I don't know exactly what a webring is...however, from your description I'd love to join you! I enjoy talking about the furry fandom in the 00s - 10s and its connections to the aesthetics and interests that became popular :]

i believe its basically just all the websites involved linking to one another, to share the topic or community and make them more discoverable to other people in the same communities! drop a link to your site, and i'll add it to mine next time I update! and then add mine to yours. I'll eventually have a full page just for that, but its a long process, i have a lot to do

Oh, I see! Unfortunately, I don't have a website...I'm not much in the way of web design and coding.

I think you should try. There's plenty of resources in this sphere and some people on this forum could help you. The moment I saw your post, I was thinking "Wow! I'd love to see your site!" ...Until! At the very least you can use a template like Zonelets and have text heavy blog posts on these subjects.

@kasperkat I have so much to tell you about webrings! Webrings date from the early days of the internet. In the mid-1990s search engines really were not that great and someone came up with the idea of linking similarly themed websites together. They became less popular around 2010, but are making a comeback. I've written lots about them if you care to look.

You really should consider making a website. Getting them to look how you want can be a bit awkward, but everyone has something interesting to say.

Ooo, Zonelets looks really interesting...maybe I will make a few blog posts about that! I love doing more research, so this gives me a new opportunity :>

Oh, this makes sense!! I like that!

And thank you for the website, I've bookmarked it to read!

I think I definitely will find a way to make a website with my limited, like...BBCode and HTML skills haha.
