Hmm....that's something that can't be answered right now either, and something that [neither Todd nor I] want to take time to think out and answer now. So, for now, the webring homepage will move to Lugnet, but the ring system will be hosted on the evil Yaheww! servers. What's to come after that has yet to be determined precisely and has absolutely no timeframe nor commitment attached. A personal note is that I would really like to see stuff written on Lugnet to run the ring, but I have no control over that being that I don't know a lick of programming. I'm also especially irked about how Yaheww! slaps their logo over everything they swallow - as if GeoCities wasn't bad enough already... -- Tim Courtney - tim@zacktron.com http://www.ldraw.org - Centralized LDraw Resources http://www.zacktron.com - Zacktron Alliance ICQ: 23951114 AIM: TimCourtne
