How to Join SurvivalRing
By Richard A. Fleetwood – May 2001

Thanks for your interest in the SurvivalRing. We hope that together we can make a difference in helping ourselves, our loved ones, our neighbors, and everyone else we come into contact with, to make it thru the inevitable hard times ahead. If you wish to be a part of SurvivalRing, but do NOT have a website, you can join the SurvivalRing topica mailing list from ANY of the SurvivalRing pages, near the bottom of the page to stay up-to-date on the latest happenings with the webring.

Also, consider becoming a part of the NEW SurvivalRing Association, a Yahoo Club, by clicking on the link in the MEMBERS section on this or any other ring page. The Association offers weekly chats, a calendar of events and news, message base, contact info, picture libraries, and more. It will be our base of operations for DAILY stuff if you want LIVE interaction with fellow preparedness folks.

How do I join the SurvivalRing Webring with MY website?

The submit form and further information on joining may be found on the next page. There is no cost involved and the only thing you have to do is add a bit of html code to your page. Before filling out the submission form, please read this page for important information.

What kind of website joins the SurvivalRing?

Each member of this SurvivalRing webring MUST have unique and thoughtful ideas, suggestions, and/or solutions to provide to any and all visitors to the ring, covering some aspect of Survival, Preparedness, or self reliance issues. Sites and pages should be ORIGINAL, cleancut, and prepared for ALL audiences. This webring is aimed at helping FAMILIES of ANY age to grow and learn together, and the Ringmaster respectfully requests that this be kept at the forefront of the potential SurvivalRing member’s mind.

Adult material, off-color remarks, racist or bigoted statements, and information for illegal, immoral, dangerous or deadly acts WILL NOT be tolerated here, on ring member sites, or in any email list, message base, or site submission connected with SurvivalRing. This standard WILL NOT be changed. Infractions WILL be dealt with immediately.

As mentioned above, the main purpose of this webring is TO EDUCATE AND UPLIFT all visitors. This can be done with stories about personal experiences, links to useful information, information of historical nature, and all commentary that provides personal insight to problems that we all face (hopefully with great suggestions or solutions on how to deal with those problems). Keep in mind that ANY site submitted MUST have topics that INCLUDE Survival, Preparedness, or self reliance issues. These areas do not have to be the main topic of your site, but they must play a major role. I lean heavily in favor of sites that really have original content that visitors can use and learn with. Also, commercial sites that offer tools, supplies, books, training, and the like are welcome here, as long as the products deal with some facet of preparedness and survival.

What exactly IS a Webring?

New to the idea of webrings? For the FULL story, go to http://www.webring.org. For our purposes here, a webring brings an entirely NEW dimension to linking websites with a common theme together in an innovative, state of the art, and thoroughly updateable way so that fresh, useful and hopefully concise information can be found by visitors and used in educating themselves in any way that they see fit. The key word is EDUCATION in SurvivalRing…..

Both personal and commercial sites are being accepted to the SurvivalRing right now, as long as they meet the guidelines mentioned above.

Important Information for Member sites and Ring Visitors

Please understand that I, your Ringmaster, am the sole operator and contact point for this webring. I add, delete, and modify member site info as needed to maintain smooth operation of this webring. I fully intend to do this indefinitely as the ring grows and prospers.

I decide who joins the ring, and who doesn’t fit into the ring. There are a few sites I have found out on the web that actually use my SurvivalRing LOGO, table html data, and even assume the site ID of sites actually authorized to be in the SurvivalRing webring. If a site happens to have the above HTML code with the two tornado photos/links, but does NOT appear in the INDEX of sites in the SurvivalRing, then that site is breaking copyright law.

Remember, there is NEVER any cost, obligation, or dues required to join this webring. This will never change. If you wish to be a part of the SurvivalRing, truthfully fill out the short form, have a site that fits into the above topics and categories, and add that little bit of html to your webpage. It doesn’t get any easier, or harder, than that.
