Strange things about HN members (that actually make a lot of sense once you think about them): * we obsessively follow a guy who makes bingo cards * we downvote comments like "I agree" or "good job" * we don't necessarily demand that discussion be "evidence-based", but we do demand that it be interesting and thought provoking, and tend to avoid "tired" topics (like politics) * in a world of multimedia webpages, we hang out on an extremely minimalist site. The YC logo and voting arrows are often the only images on the screen. There are no avatars, banner ads, facebook/twitter sharing icons, videos, or funny cat pictures to be found here. * on other sites, when someone wants a feature, they pester the admin about it. Here, they just use the API to build their own site (searchyc, ihackernews, hackerfollow, etc.)
