Still curious, what had happened to HN on Feb 13th, 2008?
I just scrolled to its frontpage[0] and the top story was “Immediate social bonding between strangers is highly dependent on mimicry”[1].
Any other explanations why `https://news.ycombinator.com/classic https://news.ycombinator.com/classic` turned back to this date?

- derivagral 6y agoOn google and wikipedia, HN's launch date is listed as "February 19, 2007". I presume this is to screen for that first ~year of accounts. Funny, since I remember lurking for years before making mine!
