Here is the greeting and general description that was used for the IC Webring prior to the hijacking of its ownership:
ARE YOU A COMMUNITARIAN?
Intentional Communities have for many centuries been places where idealists have come together to create a better world. Although there are thousands of intentional communities in existence today, and many others in the formative stages, most people are unaware of them or the roots from which they spring. The Intentional Communities web ring is intended to increase public awareness of existing and newly forming communities. These web sites contain information and referrals for those who are actively seeking, or simply curious about, alternate lifestyles for themselves and their families.
Here are the original procedures for joining that were used for the IC Webring prior to the hijacking of its ownership:
Procedures to join the Intentional Communities ring
There are two simple steps to joining the Intentional Communities ring:
- Check the requirements for acceptance to see if you qualify. Chances are, if you found your way here to begin with, you do.
- Send Email to the Ringmaster for further information about joining Intentional Communities.
Important note: Since ownership of the IC ring has been hijacked by another party it is no longer being operated under the policies that we had originally established for it. But for historical value, this is what they were:
Requirements for acceptance:
The requirements for acceptance by the Intentional Communities Ring are very easy. Your WebSite must fall into either or both of the following categories:
- Community Sites: HomePages and WebSites for or about existing or forming intentional communities
- Community Content: WebSites containing information and resources of interest to people who are members of, or are curious about intentional communities
Unacceptable are: sites primarily containing gratuitous sex, violence, or pornography, sites with the primary goal of making a profit or soliciting donations, sites that are objectionable even to our very open-minded and diverse judgment, sites that are primarily swinger or dating sites. There are always exceptions to every rule, so if you have any questions, send Email to the Ringmaster.
Please note: You MUST have an existing WebPage or WebSite. Trying to join this or any other WebRing without a WebPage or WebSite is just a waste of your time and ours.
WARNING: the following links connect to the curently hijacked IC ring at webring.com. Our qualification policies are no longer in force, and the ring links may potentially take you to salacious, commercial, or spyware and/or virus infested sites. BE CAREFUL!
