This article gives a good rundown of what a webring was. https://www.hover.com/blog/what-ever-happened-to-webrings/ https://www.hover.com/blog/what-ever-happened-to-webrings/ > A webring contained a list of websites that all contained a similar theme. A single moderator — or Ringmaster — was in charge of approving and adding each website to a webring. Sites participating in a webring would then place the ring’s navigation box at the bottom of their site, which would bring visitors to whichever site was next or previous in the list (depending on which option they selected). If a visitor was on the last site in the list and clicked next, the list would loop back and load the first website in the list, in essence forming a ring of websites.
