Does the RingMaster do it all by himself/herself?
The Original WebRing system (before the Yahoo! Assimilation) provided for “helpers”. It was possible to give helpers less than “full authority” but still have them perform some functions on the webring. After Yahoo! assimilated the Original WebRing these options disappeared. For the Yahoo! WebRing system, only one Yahoo! ID can perform ringmaster functions. This means that assistants must be given access to the Yahoo! ID, which is very dangerous. The other webring systems (RingSurf, Ringlink, Bravenet, etc.) also do not provide facilities for “helpers”.
