I was thinking about this less an hour ago

Specifically I want my personal site to be a part of a “web 1.0” ring, where everyone uses technology that predates web 2.0 frameworks (Wordpress, AWS, CF etc…) and you generally roll your own everything.

Publish a post listing such sites, with a page title of "Web 1.0 Webring", accepting pull requests for additions?

If/when it grows too big, someone can add software for collaborative maintenance.

Starting point: https://old.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/caezeo/web_10_era_w...

I like the idea, but ugh do not bring back the asinine "Web 2.0" term. Fortunately "Web3" has failed to gain the hype "Web 2.0" did.

Stupid labels should die already, starting with "Gen [whatever]."

What term would you use to differentiate?
Differentiate what?
Between types or classes or generations of websites

I’m suggesting that we link all websites that exist in a unnamed class that includes the attributes of websites published prior to 2003 (as an example criteria based on when wordpress launched).

What would you name such a class other than Web 1.0 or old web or some such

"Non-Wordpress?" Otherwise that's just an arbitrary cut-off. If you want to convey something, you need to state it in English. "Pre-Wordpress" is another possibility.
