- computerex 9y agoI was wondering the same thing. Thought the thread got deleted or something.
- nostrademons 9y agoThere's a flamewar detector that demotes threads with more comments than points. More discussion is not an unambiguous positive signal. It's at #17, a couple hours later, as the number of points is now 700+ and comments is in the 300s.
