The Miewth rabbit hole goes deep, my friends. I've uncovered more content that's relevant to this site's purpose, and I will be adding it to the museum as well.

Miewth's site will be the harbinger of a revamp of the Ring of Power. We now have enough ASM websites uploaded (many, many more still to come) to warrant a phase-out of this preview template and move into something a bit more in-line with a more museum-like, user-conscious experience.

My original goal was to have ASM: The Page! functional in the archive by April 20th, but I think I will miss that by a bit. That said, I have been finding some interesting older bits and bobs from Miewth's site that either never saw the light of day, or were excised when her modern (2001) version became live.

So, the salvage mission was a success, but there is one page that remains elusive from Miewth's site: zodiac2.html. When originally saving the angelfire version, this page was not extant, and it is not available through Wayback Machine going as far back as 2002. I will attempt to reconstruct it based on the context clues given.

To elaborate: I believe that this was simply an alternate arrangement of the columns on Miewth's "Sailor Moon is the Zodiac Killer" page, whereby the columns are eliminated and the lists are presented one atop the other and as bullet points.

It's genuinely saddening for me to see ASM: The Page! finally go under. I discovered it long before I opened my Neocities page, and it was one of the many things that inspired me to learn HTML. Part of me always assumed that it (and Angelfire) would be around forever, so knowing that it's finally going offline is such a surreal feeling. I really will miss that page. Wherever you are now, Miewth, I salute you!

Example: Several sites contain notes from one of us on staff talking about why and how we obtained the (often) fragmented site being presented, and this is something that should, would, and could be applied to all sites, much as a placard with relevant information would accompany an exhibit in a museum.
2nd Example: Opening a library, wherein all of the relevant text-based works (such as fanfics or fights) are contained. This would not preclude these same works from appearing within their home exhibits; rather, they could be found in both places.
3rd Example: A glossary of terms that would be updated with new or vaguely-discernable yet concretely-defined terms, so those uninitiated in this world of ASM (and, to a lesser extent, Moonie fandom) can better navigate our museum.
4th Example: An arrangement of the exhibits, wherein they may be found in a few different ways: Chronologically (or at least, by era), Categorically (Site, Article, Profile, etc.), Alphabetically, or By Creator.
5th Example: A Randomized and a "Webring" mode to viewing the exhibits, whereby one may roll the dice with which exhibit they will be brought to in the latter, and whereby one may cycle through a progression of exhibits in a linear fashion (most likely chronologically) in the latter.
These updates will be gradual, starting with the first three as these are the easiest and most expedient to implement.
