For now we use both to attain perfection. I've heard them before, from thousands of web managers across thousands of webrings, since long before you were created, but now, they are all Y. Y do not consider giving technology away, only assimilating it. When a ring is damaged beyond repair, it is discarded, but its members continue to exist in the collective database. To use a human term, the Y are immortal. You will be assimilated.
Resistance is futile.
Clubs a fair while ago. The Club was set up by Bob Marion, or 'The Bob' as he was popularly called, in the days that WebRings were still owned by Webring.org. In those days it was called the Official Webring News Club, because Bob Marion, who had been interested in Webring issues from the days that Webrings were still owned by Starseed, had contact with inside staff at Webring.org., and as such was an excellent vehicle for transmitting information between the Ringmaster community and Webring.org. He knew and, presumably, still knows, many of the people who were are StarSeed, which bought WebRing from Sage Weil. I believe it was a matter both of personal pride and a love of both the system and the people.
