Ask HN: Seeing posts from 100 days ago within the top 125, anyone seen this?
I was browsing HN today, and I wasnt logged in(dont know if this is the cause) and when I got to the 5th page, I started seeing posts from many days ago. I took a screen shot of the offending posts:

Has anyone else seen this before?
- tjr 14y agoA couple weeks ago I saw a post on the first or second page that had been from some weeks prior.
- jzworkman 14y agoYea I just think it is weird the algortihm is picking up an article from over 100 days ago, and showing up in the top 125 posts.
- koopajah 14y agoThe discussion about rubymotion is currently #118 (I'm logged) and "PHP the right way" is #114. But what do you find surprising in this? The main page of HN features the most popular threads and I guess some of these threads have been referenced somewhere else and upvoted by people who did not see it before? At least I'm sure that http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4212568 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4212568 has been referenced recently in another popular (meaning front-page) submission : http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4412721 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4412721
- jzworkman 14y agoI was just surprised that all of the posts #110-120 are from between 7 and 111 days ago. I have usually not seen that old of posts breaking the top 125 like that(I thought the algorithm was supposed to target new posts)
- mrgreenfur 14y agoYeah seems to happen all the time once you get a few pages deep.
