I had about 20,000 in one day. I don't know what rank I held because I wasn't aware that I'd made HN until 12 hours later.

To that point, my blog had been getting 25 to 50 views a day. I hadn't even turned off moderation. Big mistake. I got 60+ comments in that time. It would have been so much better if people could have seen each other's comments, some of which were very good.

My 15 minutes is over and now I'm back down to about 100 views per day.
