I'd urge whoever killed this to re-think that. I'm not a c64 fan, but I am into emulation and as a part of that I spend a lot of time looking at ads from the 80's and 90's to get a clue about prices and specs.
The linked article may look like spam, but in the context of emulation it does have some value (by shedding cultural insight).

- dang 5y agoUsers flagged it. I think it was good to vouch for it (which unkilled it) - it's a good article. However, HN users (and especially submitters) should be aware of this guideline: "Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity." Our software looks at submission histories and starts filtering own-site submissions if they're too big a portion of the account's behavior. Users often do this also, via flags. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
