I remember joining these back in the day. They were actually pretty good at driving traffic to niche sites.

I used one about 15 years ago to help promote an ASCII Art app I wrote (I'm still a member too). I just checked and the webring still exists (http://artcode.org/ascii/index.php). Many of the sites that were members are now gone, but some of them still exist. Kind of cool that it's still around, it's a nice look into the past.

Devault uses one on his blog pages.[0]

Actually, he wrote it himself to support static websites.[1]

Naturally.
