After lainchan has decided to LARP as 90's webmasters with banners and
all, a standardization on banner naming convention and location should
have been agreed upon from day one as a logical solution to problem of
growth. I'm quite sure, there's a webmaster guide written sometime in
2001 that touches topic of banner retrieval and webring scripts.
2. Standardization permits automation of a process.
3.
Your page does not rely on "external requests", but it relies on
unreliable and useless repetitive manual labor of curating an up-to-date
list of all webring peers that otherwise could be done by an simple
program.
4. It does not have to run always-on automatic, you can
launch it manually each time you update a site, but it's a labor-saving
device.
5. Since there is a central curatory webpage containing links
to all lainchan webring sites, each participant would fetch a list of
peers from this central location, and from this list automatically fetch
up-to-date participant banners.
6. It automates fetching banners from any arbitrary list of websites that have banners which adhere to this convention.
