Perplexingly, my color appeared there shortly after I posted this. Does that link contain colors of recently active users, perhaps?

- dang 3y agoYes; users who have recently posted.
- XCabbage 3y agoAh, nice - so "my color doesn't appear on the list" is a problem that fixes itself automatically when you complain on HN about it!
- dang 3y agoA suitably recursive property for an internet forum, which I doubt pg had in mind when he wrote that code.
- sillysaurusx 3y ago(For the curious, this is because HN only loads profiles into memory whenever users post. Then they stay in memory until a server reboot, which seems to happen every day or two.)
- GreenWatermelon 3y agoEverything I hear about HN makes me feel like it's a hobby side project hosted on an old laptop in someones basement, and not literally the PR arm of a giant venture capital company.
- pests 3y agoWelcome to 1995.
- sillysaurusx 3y agoIt was. That’s why it won.
- dang 3y agos/post/do things/ but otherwise yes.
