Why is that Apollo thread being obfuscated?


It seems all day efforts were made to keep the Apollo post from #1 and now it is not on the front page?

It was near the top for close to 24 hours. It was yesterday's top post (hit "past" at the top of HN and you'll see the top post for yesterday and can navigate to earlier dates). Posts slide off the front page after a while. Their ranking is determined by a combination of activity, upvotes, and age. At over 24 hours, what else is there to say anyways? We all know what's happening.

I spend every day on here, and somehow it got bumped to #2 right as it was blowing past 2k ups and 1k comments about... Now it is not even on the front page? @dang and gang could you please explain how a top 25 post EVER is somehow done... almost seems like blatant censorship.

EDIT: just to add I used a different VPN, then for good measure when on a tor box and did it too. Where is that thread??
