FYI: old.reddit.com is no longer accessible without a reddit account.

I submitted the above link, seems HN is rewriting it automatically. :-/

Not sure exactly what the criteria is. ip blocks maybe? was working for me, then stopped, switched vpn locations, works.

I think they've been slow rolling it, eventually it will be login only.

Reddit have started deprecating old.reddit.com as of a week or so ago, see: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49005747>.

The site still works if 1) you are logged in or 2) you're in the control of the A/B test group (presuming the A/B test is still ongoing).

I've been unable to access old.reddit.com for over a week now. Site's dead to me.

I guess that rewriting trick needs to be over then and it's new reddit for the lot of us

Or HN could just deprecate it entirely.
