Main Manifest: Miscellaneous: Railroad WebRing

    Web Rings are the fastest and easiest way to locate sites that contain similar material. The Railroad Web Ring is designed to bring together web sites that contain information about prototype railroads, model railroading, rail fanning, railroad museums, and railroad historical societies. This may include prototype railroads, railroad clubs, photo archives, and a whole lot more.
    If you would like to be included in the Railroad Web Ring, you must first read and agree to the Guidelines below. It is your responsibility to know what is expected of you before you join the ring. Failure to comply with these guidelines will result in denial of your site in the ring.
    If you are already a member of the Railroad Web Ring, and would like to edit your site information, you can use the Account Edit Logon Form below to edit your site information or view your required HTML. Please make sure you are using the correct HTML code to provide continuity throughout the ring.
 
Web Ring Guidelines

    The following must be adhered to for your site to be moved from the queue to the ring. If your site strays from these guidelines before or after your site is added to the ring, it will be removed from the ring entirely without prior notice. These guidelines may change from time to time and it is your responsibility to check this page for changes. Not adhering to a guideline after it is changed will be grounds for movement to the queue until the new guideline is met. If you do not agree with new guidelines after they are added, you are free to remove yourself from the ring, or to ask the RingMaster to remove your site.

  1. Site Specific Information
    1. Your site must not contain any type of adult material, or any material that would earn your site a rating higher then G. This includes, but is not limited to, adult language, sexual situations, and intercourse. The managers of the ring will have sole discretion in determining a sites suitability for the ring.
    2. Any pages containing the required Web Ring HTML code must also contain information about railroads, model railroading, rail fanning, or any other railroad related material. The page may include other information as long as it does not break any of these guidelines.
    3. Commercial railroad sites or railroad dealer sites are allowed in the ring with no special requirements other then those listed in these guidelines.
  2. The Required WebRing Code
  3. [Reverse] [Forward] [Random] [Next 5] [List] [Join
    1. You are required to include the Web Ring Code shown to the right on the page that you register with the Web Ring program. Any site not displaying this code will be removed from the ring without prior notice. The ring only works if a viewer can continue through the entire ring until he returns to the page he started.
    2. The WebRing code must be placed on the sites main page, or the site you register with search engines and that other sites would link to. The WebRing links must be visible to anyone visiting your site, whether they found you through the ring or any other link, including search engines.
    3. Placing the required code only on a page set up for links or webrings will not be allowed under any circumstances. You may place the code on your links or webrings page so long as the code also appears on your main page.
    4. DO NOT cut the code on this page and paste it onto your page! This code is set up for this site and your code will differ slightly. You will be given a ring number for your site and your code will include that ring number. If you do need to copy this code for your page, you must change the number after "id=" in the Reverse, Forward, and the Next 5 links to your ring id number for the code to work for your site. Sites with incorrect site id numbers in their code will not be added to the ring until the proper code is added!
  4. Guidelines Specific to Frame Usage
    1. If your site utilizes frames, you must notify me by email when you add the code as the Web Ring robot will not find the code and you won't be added to the ring!
    2. All WebRing links must also include code to break out of your frames (this is included by default).
    3. Any site that uses frames must also include the required WebRing code in the HTML file that sets up your frames. This will allow people using browsers that do not support frames to continue through the ring.
    4. Sites added before April 28th, 1998 that are using frames and do not include the WebRing code on their main page may be moved to the queue until the code is added.
    5. Any site added after April 28th, 1998 will be checked prior to addition to the ring. When adding the code to your page, make sure you add it to the main page as well.
  5. Guidelines Specific to WebRing Code Modification
    1. Slight modifications to the code will be accepted as long as all six of the links remain intact.
    2. The use of Javascript in the webring code is not allowed for this ring. Any site adding Javascript to their webring code will be removed from the ring without prior notice.
    3. Omitting the Railroad WebRing Graphic will no longer be allowed. If your site does not show the graphic, it will be removed from the ring. Any site added before April 28th, 1998 will be exempt from this guideline.
    4. Changing the background color of the table will be allowed as long as the graphic and text are still legible. No background images may be used.
    5. Adding targets that will open a new window when a user clicks on a WebRing link will not be allowed. Any site in violation of this rule will be moved to the queue until the code is changed. No exceptions!
    Please Note: I reserve the right to reject submissions for sites that do not follow the above guidelines. Any site can be removed from the ring at any time if the site strays from the above guidelines. Guidelines may change from time to time and it is your responsibility to check for new guidelines.
 
Site Submission Form

    After you have read all of the Guidelines above and are ready to join the ring, you will need to fill in the information below. Your site will be added to the queue until a ring manager has the time to verify that you have added the proper code and adds you to the ring. Queued sites are checked at least once every week for the proper code. If you wish to speed this process along, you may send an email to the Ring Master when you have added the code. Please note that all of the information is required for submission. Any site that does not contain the required code within 30 days of submission will be removed from the queue without warning.
