Rubber duck debugging except the duck is vim. A title change might be in order. Possibly "'Roll-Your-Own' Webring".

Possible requirements:  

- real hardware or vps, rented or owned

- proof of domain ownership (a bs dns record would work)

- proof you have root on the server (I can't figure this one out)

- 1 year of site activity (so you are already invested)

- tell the OS and why you chose it

- describe the server stack and why you chose it

- include any additional daemons running on the system



Considering:

- badges (for lack of a better term)

        - for founders (this will be contested)

        - for each daemon you are running beyond httpd (ie gopher, tor, i2pd, email, xmpp, etc)

        - for custom code (ie "Custom SSG" or "Custom server side scripts")

        - for custom daemons you wrote yourself (ie custom finger, gopher, httpd, etc)

- git managed

        - can't^won't self host git because a git forge is useless without other users

        - probably gitlab

        - no actual server code included in the repo, only member site data (debatable)

If not badges, at least create a data field specifically for various services. Badges would create an arbitrary sense of accomplishment and encourage users to host more things in the hopes that their websites do not end up in the equivalent of neocities graveyard.
