Oh geez. This view is sure better, but the fact that it's needed indicates that hn is jumping the shark.

Thanks for that hidden feature. And there's no ads aswell! Do you know what is the difference in the algorithm? They just count "old users" votes? How long do you need to have an account for to be considered old?

  It's the same algorithm as the regular front page, with the difference that the votes are those by users before Feb 13, 2008. A long time ago! It wasn't such a distant past when pg created it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=607271 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=607271.

I wish I could be this serious and sophisticated, and not smile at light-hearted stories about 84 year-old gamers. Maybe some day, I'll reach these heights of intellectualism. It must be nice to worry only about serious discussions for hackers, as voted on by a select group of mature old-timers.

  Or we can just be gratefull there's a solution for everyone's tastes instead of fighting about who's opinion is best :)

  Your post is unnecessarily abrasive, and you have inferred opinions from my comment that I have not written. You should be ashamed. Think about what you have done.
