Congratulations, everyone =)
Keeping a community like this together and preventing its degradation over a 6 year period is a remarkable achievement.
Let's also remember that this isn't just a site that lists current topics of interest; there's also the search feature. It's a great source of links to interesting views on various topics. For instance, whenever I encounter some tech-related topic where scepticism or additional information is hard to find, I search for HN threads on that topic and very often find more detail than I know what to do with.
- sharkweek 14y agoAs someone who is a heavy redditor -- I remember one of my first comments here got downvoted pretty quickly as it was just a snarky, "meme-like" comment that I learned pretty quickly had no place here on HN. I've appreciated the strict distinction between the two communities, both of which have been extremely enjoyable for varying reasons.
- dpatrick86 14y agoYou have a great point with regard to search, however, when attempting to look at some older posts on my mobile phone I was very irritated to find out that after opening more than a few of the older posts it blocked me out and told me to use the API! We're not talking 100 page requests here... we're talking less than 15, but they were all older posts (some a few years).
