Disappeared from Hacker News … again. So I'm done.

July 24, 2011 | mark | Hacker News

I get wierded out when an opinion piece I posted about the impending debt default is on the home page of Hacker News for 20 minutes and climbing – and then gets disappeared.

The article is still posted on HN, no message that it’s flagged as spam, no email. Just a little tweak that disappears me from everything except “new”.

This has happened more than once. It and an increase in comment negativity has driven me off. I’m done.

Goodbye HN, fare thee well.

My name is Mark Maunder. I've been blogging since around 2003 when I started on Movable Type and ended up on WordPress which is what I use to publish today. With my wife Kerry, I'm the co-founder of Wordfence which protects over 5 million WordPress sites from hackers and is run by a talented team of 36 people. I'm an instrument rated pilot and I fly a Cessna 206 along with a 1964 Cessna 172 in the Pacific Northwest and Colorado. I'm originally from Cape Town, South Africa but live in the US these days. I code in a bunch of languages and am quite excited about our emerging AI overlords and how they're going to be putting us to work for them.
