This is getting creepy, I'm getting out of here.
- pg 19y agoYeah, it is, a bit. Don't get too worked up over this, guys. We're just trying to cook up a new model for seed funding, not starting a cult.
- DanielBMarkham 19y agoDoes this mean I have to tear down my PG posters and little statue I built?
- JMiao 19y agoFusilli Paul.
- testapplication 19y agoBack away, SHARK!
- rokhayakebe 19y agoGuys. I apologize to anyone who felt this is too serious for this audience.The item wasn't focused on YC, but to whatever you are seeking. What I am saying is that in every journey they will come decisive moments, but what is more important is how we react to those moments. I wasn't suggesting that you should eat, drink, sleep and breath startup (although I do, but then again, I am no role model) as in a cult but really simply showing people what I have experienced here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47232 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47232. In other words there is more to YC then being accepted

- jkush 19y agoI apologize if yesterday's post sparked some sort of mushy reflection on rejection. Not my intention, honestly.
- falsestprophet 19y agoWell, Y Combinator is lead by a guru who possesses arcane powers and who recruits young boys over the internet to travel far away from their homes to live in the YScraper (aka The Compound) and work for below minimum wages with the promise of epic wealth and enlightenment.
- pg 19y agoActually I'm not a big fan of that building. It's too expensive.
- mynameishere 19y agoHave you thought about buying some land in Guyana, clearing out the brush, and starting a new settlement...?
- nostrademons 19y agoMalaria?
- davidw 19y agoIdea: you mentioned starting a city in the past. This summer when I was driving my wife and her parents around Oregon[1], we happened to drive through the ex-Rajneeshpuram[2]. If you could get a decent internet connection happening, that would be a great place to build a hackerville - it's beautiful country, has a lot of facilities already there, and hey, maybe you can start your own collection of Rolls Royces. I don't want to have to dress up in orange though. [1] http://padovachronicles.welton.it/articles/2007/08/31/the-wild-west http://padovachronicles.welton.it/articles/2007/08/31/the-wi...

- rokhayakebe 19y agoyou have been around for 20 days only. You will see a lot creepier. Here and on your way to success. If you run away from YC because of my 15 lines, I doubt how you will do as a startupreneur. EDIT: Sorry sbh i shouldn't comment on the 20 days. that was a lil mean.

- nostrademons 19y agoMost of the successful entrepreneurs I know are firmly grounded in reality. To my knowledge, none of them have suffered by avoiding crazies.
- rokhayakebe 19y agothank you for insulting my little bitty of intelligence. touche.
- Alex3917 19y agoAt least no one has yet publicly threatened suicide, unlike most other web forums.
- trevelyan 19y agoEspecially creepy for those of us just here for the news. It would be useful to be able to distinguish between posts and linked news articles from the front page.
- garbowza 19y agoYou can, just look at the domain (or lack thereof).
- JohnN 19y agoI found it hilariously creepy, couldn't stop laughing.
