Once is not "every so often" [0] and reposting something that you feel is worthwhile but didn't gain traction is acceptable. This is mentioned in the FAQ [1] as it's basically a "keep it reasonable" honor system. Sometimes when you post something matters. For example, I've posted something and it got 1 upvote and fell off the front page - then was reposted 2 days later by someone else and was on the front page for the day. I just had poor timing as there were other far more popular stories going on at the time. >Are reposts ok? >If a story has had significant attention in the last year or so, we kill reposts as duplicates. If not, a small number of reposts is ok. On topic: I agree with Aardwolf, I prefer Hexadecimal but having a better symbols for A-F would improve it.

  so, you're right in a sense. I wanted a non video link to read about it, so googled, and all I found up top was 2 hacker news links (apparently one of them was the same as this, google indexed it pretty quickly) and the youtube video (so didn't do me much good). I assumed (incorrectly) that 2 links I saw via google would have made this 3 at least)

I am the same person as me who submitted it a month ago; guilty as charged. Seximal sounded quite interesting and the HN mods agreed, asking me to repost [0] it in manner described by hliyan (no relation) and dang. This is not the first time they asked me to do that, though more often I repost stuff out of my own volition. My submitted log is really a catalog of interesting things I find on the internet that I occasionally revisit and repost with a thought "more people should hear about this and I want to hear what they have to say about it". You are welcome to browse through it [1] and repost things you like. Maybe you will even get to the front page! Regarding your search for a non-video link in the grandchild comment, you are in luck. Read about seximal here [2] and make sure to click through the hamburger menu, that's where the meat of the website is at. Unfortunately the website and the video content is not fully overlapping so you kinda have to watch and read both for the fullest understanding of seximal.
