Ian, I have to say I was more than a little shocked by your message. YoYo is still regularly updated and links to all the freesites that I can pull out of freenet to review (and, recently, I have had to add some sites with 'Review Unavailable' as I simply cannot pull anything most of the time). It is a massive benefit to have YoYo on the gateway, especially while almost all other indexes are down. If anything, as it at least works, you should really elevate it up the bookmarks list - so the first thing people try is something that does actually WORK.
YoYo is an index and links to a wide variety of freesites - why should it not link to one (or two) that, at the moment in time when you wrote your message, does not agree with your ideological ideas about the network? I have even SPOKEN to you about Production Freenet and your reaction has not been such that I would expect such a response as this. A few days ago when I made my original post about the status of such a network, your initial response seemed positive. If you believe my wording to be overly "promotional" then we can discuss it on IRC and maybe rephrase it. I would have spoken to toad and yourself yesterday before I started inserting but I couldn't get hold of either of you on IRC all night. If it is any consolation, I still cannot get the 5mb or so of files required for the Production Freenet site to insert. It has been going for about 24 hours, retry 12 now. You will need to contact me ASAP on IRC as I need to start inserting soon if there's any hope of YoYo being done for midnight GMT. No joke. I would like you to explain how I have deliberately crippled the index I maintain by linking to a freesite that offers a temporary solution to the crippling network problems inflicted by your own neglect. You've had months to sort the network out, but the only constructive thing you can do is make freenet even worse by suggesting removal of one of its indexes from the gateway. Now I know why you favour CofE's flog so much (why on earth did you ever put THAT on the gateway?? its not exactly a "page to allow people to find freesites more easily" now is it!) - he'd bitch about freenet but never do anything about it. I hope you will have the decency to at least get in touch before you take any further action. I care a lot about this project and would never intentionally do anything that I believe would harm it. If what Production Freenet suggests CAN be proven to be harmful (which will only happen by letting it run its course) then at least it may have contributed to stimulating the flurry of debugging activity that seems to be going on in devl right now. Regards Reskill P.S. Have you (or anyone else) actually tried the final build we're using now? If anyone has any probs/wants to stimulate debate on Production Freenet, join #fredisdead on IIP.
