Over 800 New Webspaces
Since announcing the all-new free Webspace, we now have over 800 Webspaces set up. Facilitating this surge of sites is the news that Yahoo! is poised to close GeoCities.
Most Ring Managers can attest to how devastating this closure will have for their ring members. In the late 1990's, GeoCities owned WebRing. As a result, a great many sites here on WebRing were hosted at GeoCities.
We have taken a pro-active approach to addressing this issue. Our staff is poring through lists of registered GeoCities URLs and determining if they even exist anymore. Many do, and we are contacting those affected members to let them know that we're here to help.
Within one week, 800 sites have been transferred and as a result, members who haven't been on WebRing for years are back. Here are a few of the sites that have been transferred.
You can find the complete directory of Webspaces here. (You can even search for sites within the directory - a first here on WebRing.)
Even though we're working double time to make sure these folks know about the closure, we ask for your help. If you're a Ring Manager, contact your affected members. If you're a member, let all your friends, family and colleagues who have a GeoCities site now that they can move their site to their free Webspace.
Remember, even folks who aren't already WebRing members can sign up and receive their own free Webspace. To learn more, click here.
