Now this is definitely a blast from the past. I had almost completely forgotten about Homestar Runner.
It reminds me of the days when the internet was something I loved, rather than something I just use .

Now that you mention it, there definitely has been a subtle shift between loving my time with the internet, and just using it. I wonder when that happened?

Social networks, for me. I miss forums.

Mine is zombo.com. I still remember how I felt the first time I sat there waiting for this incredible site where I could do anything! The internet was new enough (to me) and amazing enough that I thought it just might be possible that I had stumbled upon a place where the only limit was myself.

I don't personally like that you did this, but I think it's the right move and I wholeheartedly support it. The truth is, I only don't like it because homestarrunner.

It's something that's very close to the hearts of a huge number of this site's target readership - but no, it's not really relevant. Apologies if this is considered spamming!

Thanks for being open about your moderation and intent. Folks need to understand that the alternative is not to have Homestar Runner stay on the Hacker News front page (that was never in the cards), but to go back to silent moderation. This is an improvement.

Nah, spam is different and much worse. Fortunately, it's also easy to identify, and thus (double no-jinx!) it's largely a solved problem on HN.
Apology not accepted because not necessary :)
