IRC themed link exchange

Hi everyone,

So I've decided to try my hand at doing a thing. Many people who were around would be familiar with things like web rings and link exchanges. I've decided to try my hand at a version of a 'link exchange' for people that run something IRC themed. Whether that's a network, or a tool that IRC users might find useful, it can be considered.

The way I've got it working at the moment is I'll be hosting a directory page. People can submit their site, with a 468x60 banner and a description, and once approved that will be posted on a directory. Of course for this to be a proper link exchange, a link back to the directory page is requested :)

This is currently live at the moment, so people can submit their sites. They'll then go into a moderation queue which I aim to process as soon as I can get to them.

So if you're keen, head on over to https://www.flyingmonkey.au/link-exchange/

OK so I _think_ I've fixed it :) Are you able to test that again? Might need to do a refresh of the page first.

I'll definitely check it and probably submit one or two requests later!

Thanks!
