All this talk about Web Rings is making

All this talk about Web Rings is making me realize how much I miss Nibelung. Not sure I will ever forgive JavaScript for taking that from us.

Nibelung was a "build your own web ring" thing that used iFrames, built by someone who doesn't really have a web presence any more (went by the name "Columbine" back then, before the school shootings at the high school of the same name, then by "Eccentric Flower").

I blame JavaScript for the demise because so many blogs I wanted to read added JavaScript to break out of the iFrame if they detected it.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
