Not a hugely important website to lose even if you have videogaming as a hobby but this is another instance of a terrible trend of moving a public-facing knowledge base to Discord.

I've got an older account if you still want to establish my sincerity although I lost the password and never was able to recover it. That doesn't count for much but if you chuck the corpus of it and /adotsapiens in an authorship verification program it'll spit out a match.

You'll find it's all consistent with a white British politically opinionated nerd between the ages of 20 and 25, employed in a succession of blue-collar jobs, because that's the real deal.

Some people are genuinely fairly new to HN. I only became aware of this place a few months ago in following the ACOUP blog.
But that's indistinguishable from astroturf accounts to an outsider so tell you what, I have a reddit account I've used for over a year and post regularly on. I've posted a link to your comment as a self-post on that account:

Reddit shut down ?depth=n sorting for threads between 6 and 12 months ago and ?context=n in the last three months but posting and commenting still works for me on the latest releases of Chrome, Safari, the android Samsung browser and an old release of android Chrome, across 5 different reddit logins.
Post it, with screenshots, to /r/bugs and you'll probably get an answer sometime soon. If not, maybe they are A/B testing a decline in product quality?

While it was more of a tech retailer than a tech company, Blockbuster qualifies.

Does anybody here know if there some sort of publically-available tracker for utility spare parts volumes in the US? It's probably the kind of data you need to pay to get but it would be nice if there's something for free.
