- dkokelley 16y agoThis was something that always impressed me with HN. Instead of using a robust, proven forum system, you created a new project that grew with the community, and opened the whole thing up for us to see and even hack ourselves.

- code_duck 16y agoHa ha. Comment of the year.
- code_duck 16y agoOkay, I know this is a reply to a pg post. And that complaining about downvoting is poor HN etiquette. I realize that therefore, this post is double sacrilege. I am choosing to note right here that I'm quite tired of the uptight comment nazis on this site. I THINK IT'S THE COMMENT OF THE YEAR SO GO FUCK YOURSELVES
- MisterWebz 16y agoThe thing is, if we stop downvoting comments like the one you posted (even though it was a completely harmless comment), people would start to think such comments are acceptable and we'd soon have useless comments on HN that would add absolutely no value to the discussion.

- pmarin 16y agoWhy do you consider http://news.ycombinator.com http://news.ycombinator.com as half baked?
- dools 16y agothis was an hilarious joke by PG, lost on the humourless HN community.
- cheesey 16y agoDon't you mean lost on the three people that upvoted pmarin's comment?
- pg 16y agoBecause it's still missing features that might seem essential if you decided what was essential a priori instead of empirically.
- arvinjoar 16y agoWhen you started Hacker News you wanted a site which you could moderate and where users could only upvote (even though users of a certain karma level can downvote), according to Huffman's interview on mixergy. What features did you think were essential a priori that you left out?
