Since Freesites are placed on the gateway page to allow people to find freesites more easily, we should probably drop YoYo now that he has deliberately crippled his site to promote a network split.
Now this seems a bit childish and very much against what Freenet is supposed to be about.
Not at all - being linked from the gateway page is a privilege, not a right, and it is granted to those freesites which provide the best service to the user in helping them find the information they are looking for. Were a freesite author to deliberately reduce the utility of their site, whether to make a political point, or for any other reason, then it is fair that we reconsider their place on the gateway page.
> He still links to all of the other sites so his > utility on the gateway page is preserved.
If true then you are right, I was working on the assumption that he had removed all existing content.
Having said that, his comments are disappointing and counter-productive. There is no "prod network" sanctioned by the project yet, and promoting an unsanctioned deliberately incompatible network helps nobody.
Ian.
