It actually already had more traffic and more upvotes than my posts usually get at the time you commented. I have posted enough stuff that made the front page (usually not my own writing) that I am well aware that 25 minutes in is too soon to jump to conclusions.
Overall, I thought it went really well and I am quite pleased.
It's like playing with fire, that's why.
1 - 25 minutes isn't very long to wait for comments but now that I look again I guess you mean on the post there. Though by my reckoning it hasn't been up 12 hours.
2 - Some people are psychotic so I'm not surprised people stay silent.
Who is psychotic here?
Just about everyone who voluntarily enters the discussion, myself included.
