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)

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".
