Have you ever thought of making an "official" weird al webring?

Just another random thought,

Ash

Yes, and I rejected it because I cannot control where a visitor to weirdal.com might randomly end up as a result of other people's submissions. Besides, I have a TON of handpicked links to the coolest Al sites, which I can immediately update as necessary. Why would I want a webring?

Cool banners (not saying the current ones aren't).

Banners - you mean, more images? No thanks!

Web sites do not need extraneous images to be cool, and they only slow down the loading time. With the exception of the opening index, have you noticed how fast weirdal.com is compared to most other sites?

Well, that's how I intend to keep it!

I agree, Jon. One of the things I"ve always enjoyed about Weirdal.com is that I don't have to wait forever and a day for some silly little flash animation to load that realy does nothing to enhance the site. I can only connect at a snails pace (MAYBE 21400 on a good day if the sun is shining) so I REALY appreciate the speed of your site

Yes, I did notice, and I'm very pleased with it. It was just a random thought anyway.

"I agree, Jon. One of the things I"ve always enjoyed about Weirdal.com is that I don't have to wait forever and a day for some silly little flash animation to load that realy does nothing to enhance the site."

Definitely cool.

When I'm not up at school with my cable modem (oh, how I LOVE the cable modem) I'm stuck with my modem from the dawn of time. Most websites with any form of moving graphic either refuse to load, or they cause my computer to be shut down and restarted.

That's why I love weirdal.com. It's one of the few sites nowadays that I can see all of on my ancient system. (Not to mention the fact that everything's clearly laid out and you don't have to search for half an hour to find what you want to see...)
