Show HN: Boxes - Hackdot

This was quite interesting, but it's so annoying to see multiple 1 line comments from new accounts, and accounts that have very little history. Even more annoying, the older "spammy" accounts all seem to be linked to accredible, the site hosting the game. Over half the contributions on this page are from those accounts; niveshi, lateguy, aheppenstall, ambitionvc, amarsaurabh, rachana318.

Apart from all that, this looks like it would be fun to turn into a pure javascript clone. The network connection seems completely unnecessary, and it would be fun to create competing AIs.

I think that's a little harsh. Let me give you some context to help make things clear. The creator of the game has been learning to program over the past year and this is one of his first projects. He's been working with Accredible and we've gotten to know him well over this time. We wanted to show our support for one of his first public projects. Yes we do work with Accredible but it's hardly a marketing endeavour to include a text link of those paying for hosting.
