Id like to see. and be happy to post some various web rings and blogrolls..

One of the things that killed them imho is when google started penalizing sites that linked to some other sites.

This was compounded by the expired-domain market..

wordpress even took out linkrolls around that time, people that had them in sidebar widgets would have them disappear unless they installed a new plugin to bring them back.

Webrings that auto-add the "nofollow tag" I guess could make them okay for people again.

Might be cool to have a github type page with a list of rings to reccomend.. a script auto-pulls it into your page, adding nofollow - and then other people could copy your list or clone/fork..
