I've been here a long time and seen this expired linky thing happen roughly every other week; on a very few occasions it's been an annoyance, but mostly it makes me smile; after reading news.arc, it's a reminder of what a hack HN is.

I could care less if this issue got fixed. I have never once felt, "man, I'd definitely jump to another site if it didn't have this expired linky thing happen".

(Now, politics stories on the front page, on the other hand... I've often wished for a site with as good a crowd as HN but without the politics...)
