Has anybody else had trouble with the Brother Bear Webring pulling you away from the forum's main page? It's been happening to me for a while, but only on occasion, so it hasn't been more than a small annoyance. But as of tonight, it happens every single time I attempt to visit the main page of the forum; a second or less after loading the page, it automatically redirects to the Webring hub unless I'm quick enough to hit the stop button or click on a link first.
Do we even need to keep the Webring around? There aren't that many sites in it, and it doesn't look like it's maintained anymore.

yes, quite a couple times; I just simply click on the "news" button as soon as the AAAB homepage flashes on, before it could redirect me. May need a little practice, but it shouldn't be hard once you get the hang of it.

Yes, that's what I said... unless I'm quick enough to hit the stop button or click on a link first. It's not exactly a solution to the problem. Not to mention, now that my internet is working properly again for the first time in ages, the page often loads too quickly for me to click anything.  Oddly, my netbook doesn't seem to be affected as badly as my desktop; I've had it happen on this computer before, but it's not giving me any trouble at the moment. |

This has happened to me every now and then but it hasn't for awhile. Lucky for me I am fast when I come here so I press the stop button before it can take me there.
I know my mom(who is also a member here as Nitahbk) has had that problem in the past and its very annoying. ;D

Yes, it's been something I've noticed as well for a while now. It happens rarely, but when it does it can get very annoying. The Webring was added back when it was maintained, and ownership to it has been transferred to Spectrum last I checked. I doubt it's being maintained like you said, Epesi, so I'll see what I can do to remove it to see if it fixes the problem.

Thanks!  It's a relief to see the main page again. |

Not a problem. It was getting annoying the redirecting thing. And many of you had a point, there's little need for that Webring to be here since it's no longer maintained or used. |

Oh thank goodness you guys brought this up because I was going to make a complain about it. I was getting worried it was happening to me. But I think it could be gone now cause I haven't gotten it in a while now.
