Relax.

  Really? This was worth 4 downvotes? I'm not being offensive or stupid or uptight, I'm just expressing my opinion. I know it's a joke. My point is that, when I first saw it, I didn't immediately recognize the joke. If I hadn't clicked the Sign Up page, I probably would have left the site without fully getting the joke. If a potential customer didn't get the joke, it might leave them with a bad opinion of the company. (edit: by company, I mean Mac Mini Colocation, not this fake sub-business) I know how we love our nerdy humor, but all I'm saying is that companies have to be a little bit careful not to inadvertently let inside jokes hurt business.

    Jesus effing Christ. It saddens me sometimes that my fellow HN'ers treat unpopular opinions the same way they treat trolls.

      I agree, but I can't imagine a moderation/karma system that humans would use differently. So either we can accept that it works that way or build something better. (I don't have any ideas for the latter, btw.)

    Sorry but it looked like a troll to me. I didn't think you or anyone looking for co-location would be dumb enough to think this was real.

      Well and even if they were, the only way to find its connection with the actual company is to reach the page that told you it was a joke.
