How many "web rings" fit into 1 TB?

Wow, when did those disappear? That phrase immediately brought me back to ~1994. :)

Disappear? webring.com is still there. I dare you to enter "goth poetry" in its search window. Double dare, as a matter of fact.

       Skeletal Lovers
   Two dead people
   Embraced even in death
   They lie there for eternity
   Together forever
   Memories turned to dust
   Laughter and sin forgotten
   Nothing but pale white bone
   Nothing to complain about
   Only the two of them
   Forever together
...

I don't think they disappeared, they just went into "blog rolls"

I had someone email me a few days ago asking for code for an old webring script I'd written in 1998. I was a little amazed that 1. anyone would still want such a thing, and B. someone had found a listing for my 12yr old PHP script and thought it worth using. I haven't had the code in my possession for at least 10 years, and being so old, I'm sure it was full of all kinds of security loopholes. No idea where he came across it, but apparently some resource site somewhere on the internet still lists it.
