Hey, don't feel bad, I said that with the tongue in the cheek (sorry if it wasn't clear). I actually enjoyed the Clojure posts a lot and read most of them (as well as most of your contributions). Did you stop the Clojure-related submissions, or did people stop upvoting them?
In the chart, HN is rising at an accelerating rate, but Clojure has been stagnant or even slightly decreasing for about a year now.
fogus was a big perpetrator
I feel so dirty when you put it that way.
But if what you say is true then my recent lack of perpetration directly correlates with the trend of "Hacker News is declining" posts. Sure, correlation ain't causation, but from my perspective I was singlehandedly responsible for keeping HN interesting and edgey.
Correlation is fun!
