Could you post the address? I am using official APIs so you shall be able to get results.
EDIT: Yes that's the problem with the APIs.

Good suggestion. Will look into it.
Thank you for the info. Now it seems it will be better to suggest Google to build a slim version for those who prefer it.
Originally I hoped to somehow hack the instant preview into it (then it would be nice for those who prefer a Huge Search Area instead of a tiny search bar), but then I found google used some methods to prevent you from doing this. For example, no chance of iframe.
The future plan could be to get rid of useless stuffs in google and google search results as much as one could, though this must be against their terms.

Probably the best method is to give more power to your users and let them be MODs - probably vote-to-exile? Yes, it could be abused just like the case of Socrates.
But it's definitely better than blocking IP class which hurts innocent users and useless against trolls under proxy.
Hi kumarski, your comment is strange. I don't know Udo in any way.
Pivory is a one-man project. I built all the codes and designs by myself (and owe many thanks to the users who were so nice and provided many useful comments - I posted it to /r/programming before this).
I have been coding for 20 years, so it's not that unthinkable. Sometimes the one-man way can be the fastest way. No time wasted in communications. Refactoring is always straightforward.
Rizzoma is 100 times more complicated and I must say: nice work! It covers a completely different market. I can see all the efforts behind it.
Ah I got you. I have considered this multiple times, but a flat system still appears better for me. Yes, it is a very important issue and I will try to come up with a better solution, probably hybrid.
Thank you! The scrolling codes are messy and slow at the moment. I'll rebuild them using vanilla JS. You guys are the reason I can keep working on this.
My pleasure. It is very relieving to see people actually like it.
There's a "Lists" function. And it is hidden, to keep the UI ultra-clean. Click the left pane title to show it.
Sometimes I think it is only similar to Google Wave in the spirit of having little points :)
I plan to use it as a blog first.
Unfortunately, that'll be very difficult as I plan to make it 100% realtime.
Well it does support nested comments... They are just automatically folded so the appearance is cleaner. Try "#xxxx" (and click it). You can find the post id by clicking the user icon.
You can even do self-reference and build an infinite stair.
Thank you. Currently the left pane has realtime update, and I am working on RT update for the right pane which is far more complicated.
I find people either really, really hate the design, or like it.

The prices you charge are probably a bit steep. Just my 2 cents.
If she doesn't care, why should you? Learn from her and be exceptional as well. Be confident. She wouldn't date you if she had not found something special in you.
China will take over US in GDP - that's likely. Whether it will become or would like to become a "superpower" is not clear.
But yes I don't think Mandarin is a good candidate for a global language. It is probably the most difficult language on this planet. Seriously, even the Chinese themseleves have trouble with it. I am Chinese and the last time I wrote long paragraphs of Chinese characters was at the College Extrance Exam (and whenever I mention this to friends everyone agrees). So if you ask me to write some less commonly used words I can only tell you I forgot - I have seen this happen many times to everyone. And the idioms - very hard for westerners without learning all the Classics and History, which are in Classical Chinese - think about Latin.
Chinese is beautiful though. Personally I think we probably have the most exquisite poems - the ancient Chinese spent more times on them than any other art forms or scientific researches. It was the highest among the high arts.

The HN comments are of high qualities, but I feel the same could not be said about the voters.
Thank you for the reply. I think I need to use very different styles for the submissions for HN and Reddit.
Very interesting. What are the real differences between HN and /r/programming? Seems the users from one site despise those from the other.
I agree with you. The only curious thing here is I feel the project might be a bit interesting for HN as well. HN and /r/programming should not be that different...
When it's first shown on Reddit there were tens of visitors in the first few minutes, far more than the case for HN.
Thank you. Unfortunately it seems most of the visitors won't check it :(
