It's interesting because usually HN would detect the link and redirect you to the previous discussion. This escaped the parser simply because the url is appended by "?". I even added another question mark and submitted it fine (Deleted it of course).
- drcube 14y agoI think there's some time limit that expires, after which old links can be resubmitted.
- why-el 14y agoI don't think so because I resubmitted the old link (the normal url) and it redirected me to the discussion that took place a year ago. Edit: As mentioned in the comment bellow, it was less than year, in fact less than six months even, so you guys might be right. I just saw a big number and assumed it was a long time ago. My bad.
- billswift 14y ago119 days is a year? What planet do you live on? In fact, I think the expiration is 6 months, though I'm not sure.
