Way way back in the day there used to be a sortof rate-limiting function of sorts where if too many people showed up and tried to talk politics, we'd post lots of stories about...arc, or lisp or something?

I want to say it was arc because that's what the site is written in, but I can't remember. This would have been like 10 years ago or so.

Erlang, twice. Maybe someone else will find the links.

I triggered the second Erlang day and it made pg mad at me for the one and only time that I'm aware of. That was before I was dang.
