Sometimes getting voted on is not enough. Posted a Show HN for BitBalloon yesterday (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6285205). Got up-votes enough to go on the front-page, but a few minutes after it hit front-page, it suddenly got booted way down to page 3, and that was the end of it.
Still got some more votes, but nothing could bring it up above #50.
