09/12/00 The Nova WebRing has been closed due to a change in ownership of the webring.org system. Yahoo.com took over operation of the webring system and I was not pleased with the new way it is being operated. It forced webring members to first join Yahoo.com before joining a webring. After nearly 3 years of work on the Nova WebRing it saddens me to shut down but I didn't feel it was right to force people to join Yahoo.com if all they wanted to do was be a part of the Nova WebRing. I want to thank all members who made the Nova webring the #23 most popular Automotive webring (out of hundreds) in the webring.org system.
