in reply to Fading Message Board

Interesting idea. :)

I have a tweak suggestion - how about a page fades when it doesn't get hits? Or rather, perhaps, that a page needs to have enough hits often enough - or compared to other pages or something - otherwise it fades into oblivion?

This way, the pages that are - and stay - popular is retained, while the not so good or important ones fade away.

This is of course totally dependant on what purpose you are after, but that might be a useful option for this?

This isn't critique or anything, just an amendment. :)

    Better yet, why not just use FreeNet? That's the organizing principle behind it's nodes, aside from the anonymity. ;-)
