All this talk about Web Rings is making

All this talk about Web Rings is making me realize how much I miss Nibelung. Not sure I will ever forgive JavaScript for taking that from us.

nibelung.org only mentions ISP incompetence. How did JavaScript come into it?

Nibelung was a "build your own web ring" thing that used iFrames, built by someone who doesn't really have a web presence any more (went by the name "Columbine" back then, before the school shootings at the high school of the same name, then by "Eccentric Flower").

I blame JavaScript for the demise because so many blogs I wanted to read added JavaScript to break out of the iFrame if they detected it.
