Ask HN: Why did my post disappear?
I saw it appeared once and then I couldn't find it anymore. Is it a bug or is there some mysterious force that deleted my post?

- Robby2012 14y agoIf nobody gives points, reads or comments your post it goes down in the list and disappears, it's not a bug, only the good submissions stay in the front page
- brudgers 14y agoYour question about patents is currently on the second page of "Ask". Your more recent question about discussion forums is not dead (only resting). Here is the link: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4754843 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4754843 Generally, submissions which get no traction disappear down the rankings. Your question about forums sparked no response. Flagging expedites a submission's fall and your question may have been flagged due to the possibility it would be used to for SEO exercises.
- dear 14y agoThanks all! I was wondering if some mysterious moderator had deleted my post due to its nature. Hackers news is a good forum but I found it a bit disorganized and slow. The link expires when you view a page for too long that is annoying. So I am just curious to see if there is any other more organized online forums that offer similar startups/independents support.
