i posted this last winter 'cause i got, well, upset isn't the word i would
use. frustrated ? definately. i've not done anything with this webring
for awhile until recently so it was just sitting there collecting dust. i
thought with the recent tit for tat spat reagarding the pricelessware
website, now might be a good time to actually promote it and update it for
the benefit of both freeware junkies and freeware authors.
yes i recieved flames for it, and am prepared to recieve more flames for it
again. but i made some simple rules to joining the webring (read the some
of the rules by clicking on the link):
http://q.webring.com/hub?ring=acfwebring
while the priclessware allows acf readers to participate and vote for their
favorite freeware, this webring is the flipside of that concept. allowing
freeware authors free publicity (just like the freeware that gets mentioned
in acf) to "advertise" or help promote their freeware programs.
this is *NOT* an official vote or such (which is why i called it the
"un-official" webring for acf readers and freeware junkies).
although the acf faq (which i don't totally agree with btw) can't really
apply here because it applies to software and not websites, but i think we
can come up with a few simple rules to anyone who wishes to join the webring
(see what rules i have curently by click on the link above - the rest of the
rules can be included in the acf webring submission email) But my question
is, what additional rules can we apply that are outside the acf faq or the
acf anti faq that would apply to websites that claim to host freeware ?
However, even though I do *NOT* agree with the acf faq (or even
pricelessware but its there) I can also not only include a link to both the
acf faq and the acf anti faq (with their authors permissions of course) and
create a "sub-set" of both faq's that would actually apply to the webring
(because the those faq's apply to software and not to websites).
what do you guys think ? (i'm in the process now of weeding out websites
that do not respect at least the first most simple rule; see webring hub)
