Ask HN: Point thresholds?
I noticed there is a karma point threshold for flagging, and one of my friends said that he can't change the color of his top nav bar but I can. Are there any other cool tricks that get unlocked as your karma grows?
- vaksel 18y agoyou can make polls at around 200 or so(I think)

- DenisM 18y agoAfter 20,000 you gain skills to host your own copy of HN. So far that's only two people - pg himself and nickb. nickb's site is here: http://www.newmogul.com/ http://www.newmogul.com/ Sometimes I wonder how did pg get his 20,000 points before there even was HN. It's kind of recursive, right? I think some sort of leveraged borrowing was involved.
- kqr2 18y agoDoes http://www.nonhackernews.com/ http://www.nonhackernews.com/ also use the hacker news code base?
- mrtron 18y agoNo as it states it uses Slinkset. Check it out you could create your own in two seconds.
- tocomment 18y agoIs that really true? You get a copy of the source code and license at 20,000 points?
- zack 18y agoAt 50 points you can downvote.

- jackowayed 18y agoMan! I want 250 points now. Just 233 points away . . . Of course I pretty much associate the orange and gray with HN, so I'll probably get 250, and say "YES! I can change my top bar color!" and then try to decide what color to use for 10 minutes and leave it the same.
- parenthesis 18y agoI think that HN looks 'wrong' now when I'm not logged in. (I use f6f6ef for a more tasteful look.)
- vaksel 18y agochances are you'll stick to the original look...nothing really looks better
- windsurfer 18y agoAs a real hacker, you could use greasemonkey...
- jackowayed 18y agoYeah, I thought about that as an option. I actually used Firefox Web Developer Toolbar (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60 it does everything!) to see what it looked like w/ #f6f6ef as parenthesis says he uses.
