This image depicts an image of page linking to a web-ring, which is a page that collects similar types of websites, allowing visitors to go from one website to another by clicking “next” or “previous” buttons usually at the top or the bottom of the collection page.

It can function as a personalized, personally-owned, trusted community island on the Internet of anti-human interest.
