Ask HN and PG: Why can't I "reply to" on old comments?
I wanted just now to reply to an old comment about a year old and I wasn't able to. I guess you remove replies after a while, but why? Spam? I would love to see people still replying to something I wrote over a year ago.
- mahmud 17y agoNow you got me nervous, I am gonna check on my entire posting history daily, to make sure you didn't reply to me.
- icey 17y agoIt would be very nice to have some kind of reply notification icon in the header. I'd put it in the feature requests, but that thread is closed :(.
- arfrank 17y agoI believe remembering reading in the arc.news code or somewhere else that comments close after 100 days for all posts. That would probably mean all comments then. I may be wrong though.
