Granted, yours is 391 days old, but your participation is pretty low, so you should wonder whether you are actually in any position to make this complaint.
- MikeTaylor 16y agoIt wasn't a complaint, it was an inquiry. And it seems like a legitimate one to me. It's well established that every online community, no matter how well guarded, will find that as it becomes more successful, it has a wider base of users, and so the tight focus of the smaller initial base will inevitably be broadened. Some people want the smaller user base with the tighter focus: asking where else that can be found seems a lot more constructive than complaining about how this one has changed and trying to persuade people to revert it.
- david927 16y agoI've been here three years, and I remember seeing this kind of allegation all the time. This time, it's true. In the last three or four months the quality of HN has dropped dramatically. I think some point soon, sadly, we can call it: HN has jumped the shark.
- presty 16y agoI have 894 days and I'd like to complain.
- sovande 16y ago870 days and second
- kaens 16y agoMaybe we should all post some Erlang articles instead of feel-good business articles and light reading.
- Zev 16y ago861 days and I'd like to have a rocking chair and a cane to shake at people who are complaining. Which, I suppose, is a complaint in itself. I suppose that if the cane's short enough, I could shake it at myself. But then it would be rather useless for walking with.. Nonetheless, flagged.
