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. -- Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody."
