Ask HN: who knows about this - "http://News.YCombinator.com/classic"?
Although this link is not visible on the navbar if you navigate to http://news.ycombinator.com/classic, you actually get to a page. How many people here know of this? and why isnt it visible on the navbar? And what purpose does it serve?
- blahedo 16y agoDidn't know about it, but it appears to just be using a different algorithm to sort stories.
- wwortiz 16y agoIt sorts content based on accounts over a year old I believe. I think it was created when there were complaints about the declining quality of content on hacker news and most of the classic rankings were similar if not the same as the normal rankings.

- pg 16y agoIt's what the frontpage would look like if only the votes of users who joined in the first year counted. I made it to check if the site is declining. In practice it's usually just a slower-changing version of the frontpage.
- aitoehigie 16y agoApart from news.ycombinator.com/classic,are there other hidden features of hacker news?
