Off topic. I saw this thread the other day and thought it will be an interesting topic. But then it dropped off and disappeared. I doubled checked the topic was 2 days ago but now it reappeared as 2 hours ago. Anyone knows why?

Hackernews has a “second chance pool”, where the mods decide to reignite topics where they feel there was no enough deserved attention.

Or… it was just resubmitted.

Do you mean the link stopped working, or just that it fell off the front page(s)? It was probably second-chance pooled, iirc that resets the submission date. Timing is a factor in submissions' success, they don't necessarily get the right eyeballs to get upvotes & attention before more else comes along.
