What's ringsaround.net?

It's a domain that hosts the homepages of various webrings.

What's a webring?

A webring is a community of pages with related content, organized into a virtual ring. Each page in a ring has links which let visitors move to an adjacent site on the ring, summon a ring index, or hop to a random site. Webrings let web visitors quickly and reliably find sites with related subjects.
