One still had "Bookmarks for Ken" at the top of the page :)

Not one. In fact the couple two or three I found were badly out
of date.

They were simply linked to as "graphics links" or "POV-Ray links"
etc.

I get credit enough. That is why I decided to not let it bother me.

Even if no one thanked me I would still probably be keeping the
collection going if for no other reason than I like to be able to
find POV-Ray related resources without having to go looking all over
the web to find them. I also enjoy helping others looking for the
same kinds of resources. It's my payback for POV-Ray (thank you
POV-Team) and all of the other free utilities and POV-Ray related
programs I have obtained from other likewise thinking people.
