Quoting from a Freetalk thread called: "Who do I have to kill to get on the front page?" NowWhat at w1-fYN8bKTD3Pcr5A-U1TsZJpS9YXm4IUgVWgMzitrQ.freetalk wrote: > The default index freesites provided with a fresh install of Freenet are mostly either dead or updated very infrequently. My own index site, Linkageddon (USK at Isel-izgllc8sr~1reXQJz1LNGLIY-voOnLWWOyagYQ,xWfr4py0YZqAQSI- BX7bolDe-kI3DW~i9xHCHd-Bu9k,AQACAAE/linkageddon/34/) is updated once or twice a day and I do my best to make sure I have links to the latest editions of each site. I add sites as they are announced on Frost/FMS/Freetalk and pick up a few others from other indexes or crawlers.

I could perhaps filter out some other content if absolutely required, but bare in mind there will always be a link to the full fire hose version of Linkageddon so nothing is ever entirely inaccessible. I won't play censor, but am prepared to make it easier for people to not accidentally wander onto some nasty stuff unprepared and without warning. > > Let me know what is required. I think Freenet desperately needs an active index/link site on the front page and I think I can provide that. Seeing active indexes will encourage more users to create their own freesites if they know they are going to be supported and listed. > > You might also want to look at AFKIndex (USK at 2L-k2U32b3yIl2~YjBU7-- QJPTtixSwHZxYOuGjS3A0,QJBd6zpJgEsijJGQNNcwUhsrW5vJ8VtlmNX5ka2~dlU,AQACAAE/AFKindex/29/) which does a similar job. AFKIndex has categories, but as I link all sites on one page with descriptions I think searching is easier on my site and it's easier (IMHO) to see which sites have been updated recently. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
