A lot of these articles get flagged right now, the specific one actually had a big discussion yesterday already: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14968626

Gotcha, thanks! Would've expected to just have it redirect the permalink to the existing thread rather than just load an empty page.

I'm not sure that I understand your comment, but you can go to

and enable showdead to see the [dead] threads. Warning: There is a lot of crap in the [dead] threads.

I just meant that if a thread was killed because there's already an active discussion for it, I would've expected to be redirected to the active thread (rather than a blank page). Thanks for the tip!
