People seem to prefer a more common location. Let us meet here at Barleyz instead, http://www.zomato.com/bangalore/barleyz-the-brew-house-koram... I also created a facebook group for contacting people coming for this meetup. Please join the group, if you are coming. https://www.facebook.com/groups/482115068527962/ @grease, thanks for the pizza offer. maybe you could sponsor appetisers instead? :) I'm looking forward…

Yep, starters on me. Or recruiterbox, to be more precise :)

Look forward.

As I said it was just my two cents and here http://hackerstreet.in/item?id=23904 is what I had seen there and was referring to. Though, I myself was not very active on HS and never visited after this. There was one more incident that I couldn't find in my browser history. It's not sth serious but I was very disturbed to see how one guy had raised a valid concern and almost everyone jumped on him with logic like "this…

Disagreeing with someone is not the same as jumping on him! Did you find any of the replies personally insulting the person who raised the concerns? Or making fun of him or writing him off? If you did, that is precisely what the down vote is for. You will notice that the person raising the point was not downvoted into oblivion.

If it is nothing serious, please don't tell people to not go and participate in the board.

Funny thing is that people simply go out and post their un-informed opinions and write off the work that people (moderators in this case) have been doing for years to keep HSI healthy. For example, I have never even met Webengage founder and he is certainly not a friend and hence getting upvoted. Friend of the community and getting upvoted? Maybe.

> Sadly the guy(who had first raised the concern) didn't post anything after that and neither the guy whose post was frowned upon.

The guy who was 'jumped on' is still active and commenting on HSI. So is the guy that posted the second thread.

In the end, please raise your concerns but don't discourage people from visiting HSI or 'mixing' without getting your facts right. Thanks

This is off topic and about the 10000 startups (which is a NASSCOM project currently on HN). I would not have known about this if it was not posted here, and it is going to drop off the HN Frontpage as it has only 18 votes right now. Requesting anyone from India and interested in startups, to upvote that article to spread awareness (even if it means decreasing your chances of getting in a bit; 10000 startups is a lot…

link please??
