Cool! I just found this feature yesterday or the day before, thanks to a post listing all the less documented HN features. Have you found the new placement to be affecting the site/database load at all?
New ‘past’ link on HN front page

Re: New ‘past’ link on HN front page
#112I don't understand what I'm looking at, other than the option to view the page as it appeared a day, month, or year back... or a day in the future somehow?
Normal HN but time-bound: front page as it appeared on day x. Submissions ordered by time spent in the front page. I think the message on top takes too much space and would prefer something like m> y> or >> >>> or > > But that's just me.

Edit 2: Ok, you guys have…
Really cool concept in my opinion; no matter what the name is.
