God, that title sent me down memory lane https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bMLrA_0O5I
and then that day when the stars aligned and Boxxy met the Overly Attached Girlfriend https://www.rouming.cz/archived/boxxy_overly_attached_girlfr...

my favorite Boxxy autotune remix is this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q7cqT3BiOI

Boxxy and Laina? Might need to get that framed.
That brings back memories... of an era of Internet that many here are probably too young to have experienced.
HN is predominately older millennials and genx. This site isn't really making waves among the "kids" and I doubt ever will unfortunately.

It's us taking this ship to its end. o7

I would like to see the ages and sign up numbers over the years.

I don't know if it's making waves among the zoomers, but there isn't yet an alternative for zoomers who've entered the tech workforce, is there?
All the techy ones are on discord nowadays, it's the modern IRC. My go and rust servers are packed with people half my age (late 30s).
I wonder what the demographic for HN looks like. I never questioned how much younger the audience would be than me (and I definitely remember Boxxy and the related internet/4chan drama).
I'd think the demographics are more 30+ and thus do probably remember the 4chan stuff.
Yup, that was my assumption as well!
Oh, god...I'm old now :(
Very glad I'm not the only one who thought of this :)
my queen, i kneel.
our screamo queen, glad to see this here
She's on regular TV now IIRC
