I'm into "primitive"...
What works works.
End of story.
The "modernized" internet don't look like it's workin' out too damn well to me...
The foundational principles (and platforms) will always work, and frankly, they're all I personally fucking care about.

Can't ANY site have its own "webring"??
Every site needs to link to all the other sites, and this in and of itself will form a new kind of 'advertisement'.
Some sites could pay for more front-center listings on other sites with an audience they want.
Make sense?
So why can't we just have a WebRing on this site for example?
I think what we're talking about here is doing something old in a 'new' way.
We'll make a WebRing, just with our own twist.
