It used to be such that most programmer websites were light on black. I trace the change of style more to the trend of more programmers switching to Apple than to user interface research. For an example of a really well designed site with dark background, see Good old Games: https://www.gog.com/ (scroll down a bit, if their background picture of the day isn’t dark). This also caters to a similar audience as we do (i.e. by only offering games without DRM). The main point is: Whether dark or bright, both will work if the site is done well. That mostly requires polish — just like many other parts of Freenet. Freenetproject.org does not even have that much text (which people really read in one go), so readability matters less than first impression. And where it does have that much text, it’s mostly a user experience problem that there is so much text, not that it is slightly harder to read.
