However, the discussion itself is something new to Hacker News - is there a way to have it back up please? 99% of the comments are about this form of web design vs professionalism
If you care about interesting discussions, the way to show that is to contribute stories that are just interesting without having any promotional angle. If you do that, then it's great to share your own stuff occasionally as part of the mix. That's the way to be a good community contributor.
I don't mean to be mean, but it feels pretty important to reiterate the values of the site.
The discussion is primarily focused on unprofessionalism in design.
Why can you not put this post back up? I understand the other posts being argued as purely self promotion, but this is a completely new discussion where the majority of the talking points are outside the product
Lots of people make fun websites and post them here without resorting to such tricks. I don't think it would be fair to those users to let you get away with breaking the rules this badly.
I don't think this is so hard to understand? You're totally welcome in this community if you want to be a good community member along with everyone else. Above all, that means using it for curiosity, not just as a promotional channel.
