Almost, the password is ********.

I can't read it. pfft

That's because of the HN security. It prints all passwords as stars.

You can try putting your HN password in a comment, it would be visible only by you, and the others will not see it.

Wasn't it already dead for ages?

I remember back when it got popular it seemed to stop accepting submissions after a short time.

And the hunter2 stuff got stuck on the top list forever, probably because the mechanism is self-reinforcing by making it easiest to vote for the stuff already on the top.

Thanks to the folk who put it together and ran it nearly 20 years. I wonder how much the whole thing cost? Kind of thing that gets put together as a "hey this is cool" project, it runs and people use it, so we'll just leave it up... months later its more popular, the original authors of the system moved on, but no one can just pull the plug now. this is a public resource , so we'll just keep feeding it. Years later,…

I’d feel kinda sad if bash.org wasn’t using Perl or something.

IIRC it smelled of php.

Was the Bash.org code available somewhere? I'd love to have a look at it, just for fun.
