You're wrong here.  Nobody wants to make a "modern" Freenet site
because "modern" web sites are FUCKING UGLY MONSTROSITIES THAT USE
EVIL PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES like Javascript, Flash, Java, and
ActiveX.

And even if the EVILness didn't make you cringe, please remember
that Javascript et al. would trip fproxy's warning filter.

But maybe I'm some sort of old-fashioned stick-in-the-mud.  Go ahead
and design your nauseating, epileptic-seizure-inducing, Windows-only
Freesites.  Maybe they will attract a bunch of new Freenet users
or something.  Of course, being brain-damaged, they'll only be
capable of running poorly configured transient nodes and they'll
never donate money or code or original content....

Or prove me wrong.  Design a site that will actually work in any
browser (and I mean *ANY* browser, even Lynx) and demonstrates what
you consider to be "modern" aesthetic principles.  Then insert it
into Freenet, and we'll see how well it propagates.  If you're right
about how attractive such a site is, then it will be widely propagated
and therefore very easily fetched and seen.  (Have you noticed how
many activelinks actually work on TFE these days?  It's a *large*
percentage of them -- and I'm not alone in seeing this.  Even if the
index.html behind it isn't retrievable, that activelink sure is.)

If you want some more examples of image-heavy sites that are solidly
reliable in their fetchability, look at any of the Freenet porn
sites, especially "Porno That Works" and "Breezah Sluts" which have
huge numbers of inline images on the front page.  Also "Propaganda
Booster", as someone else mentioned, which is not even pornographic.
