Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm 22 and nostalgia was involved. So, yes.

I'm 35 and nostalgia was involved. So... I think I'm going to go be depressed somewhere now. :)

I'm a 29 year old sucker for nostalgia.

Am I already, at the tender age of 25, on enough in years that yesterday's bad taste stirs feelings of nostalgia today in my web weary heart?

I was holding it okay until "Wonderwall" started playing.

This is my new favorite web page, it's genius! What goes around, comes around. I can't wait until 2015 when some comedian creates the web-2.0-izer to what has become of hackernews.

There is one thing this site seems to be missing: an "under construction" icon, preferably in the form of an animated GIF. :P Because of this omission, I can only give it 4/5 stars, just for reminding me of the days when something like http://oreilly.com/catalog/9781565920637 was what passed for a way to find stuff on the internet.
