Curious why my last post was removed (by mods?)

#1
I submitted a blog post http://throwww.com/a/6n1 that made the front page about an hour ago, and it suddenly disappeared. Not sure if I broke some kind of rule. I couldn't find any "guidelines" to reference. Any help? I frankly don't care that much that post, but I am curious for future reference.

It wasn't removed. It's located here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5232643 And it has 26 comments at the moment.

From what I can tell, it went from above the fold on the first page to nowhere to be found on the first five pages (haven't checked beyond that) almost instantaneously. How does that happen?

Someone probably flagged it, then.
