Too much noise in HN? (Open question)

There is a lot of noise but I prefer the classic view - http://news.ycombinator.com/classic over the existing homepage. It'd be nice to have a few features like never show me techcrunch articles again but all in all I still prefer Hacker News over everything else.

I did a quick search and didn't see anything too relevant. What is the difference between the classic and standard views?

Classic counts the votes of only the users who have been with HN for > 1 year.

How did you know about this? I seemed to have missed the boat on this one.

I searched searchyc.com for about 10 - 15 minutes to give a link to the post where pg mentioned that he created "classic" view and that classic and regular are not much different - which means growth hasn't harmed us much. Sorry I couldn't find it. (Usually I'll obsess over it until I do find - but I have to change this habit)

edit: How often does Google reply with the answer when you comment that you can't find something using their site? Now that's service right there...

ahh, I remember that thread. I must have just promptly forgot about classic.

There was a post on Hacker News quite a while back about it. I wish there were another option for members over 2 years too so that "classic" remains "classic".

Or perhaps a user-settable cutoff date for a customizable classic view.

For filtering, use greasemonkey with HN Toolkit script.
