The new site just looks annoying and confusing.

I wouldn't buy anything from them but I think it's keeping in the spirit of the community.

Yo, we weren't expecting the sudden flood from Hacker News last night! Sorry to those who haven't gotten in yet!

We'll be opening up as many new spots as possible every day at midnight GMT (5pm Pacific). (The number of spots is limited by the number of judges we can get).

If you're interested in being an expert judge (and helping us open up to more teams) check out: http://nodeknockout.com/judging

I was kinda hoping this was a node.js + knockout.js thing.

Am I alone (in the Unix world) in thinking Knockout is awesome?

Well, I'm glad all the legit teams like "Team'); DROP TABLE Teams;" and "•̫͡•ʕ̫͡ʕ•͓͡•ʔ-̫͡-ʕ•̫͡•ʔ̫͡ʔ-̫͡-" got a spot. Along with PowerNerd getting two slots. [1]

We're on the PowerNerd issue. It's a bit complicated due to the fact the two teams have different members. It will be cleaned up soon, and we'll be opening more spots tonight (see my earlier post).

And.... the second PowerNerd has been deleted. (1 new open spot). :-)

The second one is just using uncommon unicode symbols. It looks pretty neat in the title bar.

Anyone know exactly how long it took to fill up? I'm glad I signed up when I did.

4 days
