Any particular reason why these two posts were rendered dead?

Back in the day, Dev-C++ was the ideal IDE for the C/C++ beginner. Simple, easy to use and very light in term of resources. I remember being able to run Dev-C++ on a 166Mhz Pentium I with 32Mb of RAM (which was hopelessly obsolete even by then). You could even install C libraries automatically as DevPaks.

Wow, Dev-C++...

Let me see 2004 to 2020... I am old...

Looks like something in their post history got them the equivalent of shadowbanned on HN.
First one is no longer dead so it was rescued. Second one doesn't add anything useful.

I am not sure if all these are manual or some sort of flag / downvoted automated process. But generally speaking it is doing a pretty good job.
