I'm wondering if WebRing.com hasn't bitten the big one. 31 sites are/were listed in the DoDDSWorld WebRing; another 8 in the Military Brats WebRing. Neither ring was being actively moderated; in fact the DoDDSWorld ring was up for "adoption" but no "adoption" offers were being entertained.

New site requests were not being acted upon; when I lodged a support ticket (per their explicit instructions) for "nonresponsive ringmaster", I was told that DoDDSWorld was receiving "community moderation" and I would just have to be patient; nothing ever happened. For the Military Brats WebRing, there was no response at all.

Today (1 July) they are not responding to URI requests (i.e. no web pages are being served) and their domain can't be pinged. Methinks perhaps they lost their hosting service.

If they don't return soon, I will provide an equivalent service for brats sites only. I already own an unused brats domain that can serve this purpose.
