Ask HN: Is there a front page ranking bug?
An item I submitted earlier suddenly dropped from #1 to #35. At the time, the item was 2 hours old with 62 points.
Is there some reason for this? It's a shame, as there were some interesting discussions that could have taken off.

- jolan 16y agoI believe comments are included in the ranking and 8 comments in 3 hours is pretty poor.
- jacquesm 16y agoI think you're on to something here, there are many articles on the homepage that score considerably lower than yours both just the points on the article and taking in to account the comments. For instance there is #29, the crocodoc link, 37 points in 7 hours with 5 comments (yours has 8 comments). The 'ask' page is messed up too, it contains a duplicate (#27 and #28 are both 'what were your naivetés in your twenties).
