FurRing

The FurRing is sponsored by:

Web rings are a novel way to visit a multitude of pages on the same subject, just by visiting one page, and then moving onto the "next" page via a link.. They are laid out in a "ring"-like format, so that by traveling through all the pages, eventually you will arrive back at the first page you visited.

The FurRing, created in August, 1996 is made up of homepages relating to Anthropomorphic ("furry") art, fandom and lifestyle. For more general information on what "Furry" is all about, visit Captain Packrat's Fur Central.

As of September 13, 1999, administration of the FurRing passed to Captain Packrat.

Joining the FurRing!

NOTE! Many people have been attempting to join the ring without following all of the steps below. You cannot just add yourself to the ring, without having the appropriate HTML code. PLEASE follow the directions CLOSELY. You must have the HTML code on your page, BEFORE you can be added to the Ring.

DISCLAIMERS:

Part the first:
If a page submitted to the queue does NOT have the required HTML code on the page, it will remain in the queue until the changes are made. (I WILL NOT SEND OUT ANY WARNINGS) If, after a reasonable amount of time, the page STILL doesn't have the necessary HTML code, it will be removed from the queue. People removed from the queue have the option to re-apply. Please note that the page that is registered MUST be the page that contains the HTML code. If the code is located anywhere else, the site will not be accepted.

Part the second:
There have been issues of copyright infringement occurring in the FurRing. Unfortunately, this is a sticky issue, and the policies are as follows: If I receive complaints about any sort of copyright infringement on a site on the ring, the site will be removed from the ring, and placed in the FurRing queue, pending investigation by the RingMaster, until the issue is resolved between both parties. The RingMaster does not want to get in the middle of said issues, so if it happens, the offended party should report it to the RingMaster so it can be removed from the queue. Then the offended party should make restitution him/herself with the offending party. When the matter is settled, the offended should email the ringmaster so that the page can be reinserted. I simply cannot allow the ring to be a home for such activities.

Here are the steps that need to be followed to join FurRing. Please follow them closely to preserve the integrity of the ring!
I have made every effort to type out the instructions step-by-step so that it will be easy to set up correctly. If you have any questions, please e-mail me!.

First, go to http://v.webring.com/wrman?ring=furring&addsite
If you do not have a WebRing user ID yet, you will receive a message to create a new ID. You'll be prompted to enter your desired User ID, password, e-mail address, Birthday, and an optional security question and answer in case you lose your password.
Once you have created your account, or if you've already got an account, then you'll be sent on to the Ring Application. Enter your site address (URL), the title for your site, and a short description (400 characters or less) and then click the Next button
You'll be asked to review and confirm your submission. If it is correct, press the Submit button.
You will receive a confirmation e-mail containing a link to your custom WebRing code. Follow that link.
Click on Get Navigation Code, and you'll find a short piece of code to add to your page. Just cut & paste it into the page that you registered with the system. If you already have the WebRing code on your page, then you should already have the necessary code on your page, and won't need to make any changes.
When you are done, send an e-mail to captpackrat@captainpackrat.com to let me know that you've added the HTML code.
Please be patient. I am quite busy, and the transition between FurRing and Yahoo! and back again has made administration of the FurRing much more difficult. I may not add you immediately to the ring.

Important Notes!

The page with the Ring code MUST be on the same page that you registered above! Otherwise, the FurRing's automated link tester will not find the code on your page, and you will not be added to the Ring! There will be NO exceptions to this rule!

Remember that the only pages that are applicable to the ring are pages whose content has to do with "Furry" art, prose or fandom. Never link a page that does not contain said content. TAKE NOTE! Pages about pets or real animals are not considered relevant content. Pages with nothing but links are not enough, either (exceptions will be made for sites with vast amounts of useful up-to-date furry links). And please don't try to submit pages that are "Under Construction" and don't actually have any content yet.
The page MUST MUST MUST MUST have some sort of content relating to the subject matter. I DON'T care if you just "like furries", but don't have furry content on your site... I won't add pages without appropriate content!
Please don't bug the RingMaster about being added to the ring in a timely manner. He usually checks the Ring database once a month. He'll get to it, just make sure you've done everything right..
PLEASE REMEMBER! You cannot be added to the ring unless the ring code on your page! Please add the HTML to your page, before E-mailing me to add you to the ring!

The RingMaster reserves the right to reject or remove any web site from the ring for any reason, without notice. The decision of the RingMaster is final.
If you e-mail the RingMaster, please include your site name and URL. There are over 600 sites in the FurRing, just your e-mail address is not enough to help me find it.
Many tasks that once had to be performed by the RingMaster can now be performed by the user. Please keep your site information up-to-date. If you change URL's, and don't update your information, you might be removed from the system without warning. Please visit http://o.webring.com/mbr?p=mr to make necessary changes.

ATTENTION ALL RING MEMBERS WHO JOINED YAHOO! WEBRING

Yahoo spun off the WebRing system into it's own separate entity again. If you joined the WebRing before Yahoo owned it, or while Yahoo owned it, and did not migrate to the new WebRing system, you'll need to go to http://new.webring.com/h?manage.html to associate your site with your WebRing user ID.
