I beg your pardon?

One interesting feature of html boilerplate was that, in its CSS, it set the background color of selected text to #fe57a1 (hot pink). For the longest time, it was a pretty easy way to identify an HB-based site as many developers didn't customize text selection. It also looked rather neat. For some reason, they've removed it in v4.

What a strangely fascinating now-arcane bit of internet lore.

Are there some famous projects that I can see concrete examples of use of this this project? This seems pretty cool but I still couldn't get it.

You usually won't know a web page is actually using H5BP, especially without looking at the source. Two websites using it: http://creativecommons.org/ , http://www.barackobama.com/

#fe57a1. always made me smile

Splendid work guys, but I am still unhappy that you guys closed the Google group around it. Will check out the updates shortly.

The suggestion to use Stackoverflow as support channel is a good decision imho

Doesn't that mean you can't garner opinions or ask slightly open questions though?

Thank you for the explanation.
