The site, in 1995

The central hub for webrings: chains of home pages on a shared theme, each carrying a bar of links to the previous and next site in the ring.

Sage Weil's 1994 script for running rings became a company in June 1995. GeoCities bought it in 1998 and Yahoo inherited it in 1999; Yahoo's 2000 overhaul angered ringmasters, and by late 2001 it was independent again.

In 1995: Launched this year by Sage Weil, then a high-school student, who formed a company in June to run the rings.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

Under Construction: Homepages, fan shrines and the GIFs that decorated them.
