Hacker News Reader

It could be because Reddit has a subreddit specifically for XKCD (http://www.reddit.com/r/xkcd), and many HN readers are already familiar with it.

Ehh, you really think so? I mean XKCD stuff lingers up on hackernews all the time. My said post was nixed in ~40 minutes.

Nah, it just wasn't funny.

Oh, I'm glad the master of humor decided to chime in here, thanks for setting everything straight.

/me shrugs off bs

Your insulting comment doesn't have a thing to do with why it was killed off in the first place.

I'm also fairly surprised you aren't railing on about how nickb's post is pulling hackernews down into the terrible dredges of fark! We wouldn't want to minimalize our up mods now would we?

you are both 'mildly amused' and 'fairly surprised' - I find this unsurprising, but amusing. also, I recommend: http://www.users.qwest.net/~yarnspnr/writing/adverbs/adverbs...
