That brings back memories... of an era of Internet that many here are probably too young to have experienced.

HN is predominately older millennials and genx. This site isn't exactly making waves among the "kids" and I doubt ever will.

It's us taking this ship to its end. o7

I would like to see the ages and sign up numbers over the years.

I don't know if it's making waves among the zoomers, but there isn't yet an alternative for zoomers who've entered the tech workforce, is there?

All the techy ones are on discord nowadays, it's the modern IRC. My go and rust servers are packed with people half my age (late 30s).

I wonder what the demographic for HN looks like. I never questioned how much younger the audience would be than me (and I definitely remember Boxxy and the related internet/4chan drama).

I'd think the demographics are more 30+ and thus do probably remember the 4chan stuff.

Yup, that was my assumption as well!

YOU'S TROLLIN' I'S NOT TROLLIN I AM BOXXY YOU SEE ^_^

my favorite Boxxy autotune remix is this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q7cqT3BiOI

Boxxy and Laina? Might need to get that framed.
