Only a few weeks ago did I make the move from Winamp to foobar and it was only to see the difference. Computer space and performance weren't issues because the extra bells and whistles are easy to never use. Even when they made the modern UI, you could (and can) still go Classic. People have mentioned it, but I didn't change to foobar because I always used Winamp. I remember never upgrading Winamp until way into my college years. If you thought Winamp was fine, there was never a need to upgrade.

What was also nice was this was before every program auto-updated so you'd manually have to go update it except, the newer versions were adding features, not fixing bugs. It played your music in a very lightweight program. It played all your MP3s without any of the other fluff. There are ultimately two types of people in the comments right now: those that will miss Winamp and those laughing it was still around. (That's what I don't get about HN's moderation: what, did you think I wouldn't notice that you're essentially trying to herd me like chattel? I stubbornly keep this account kicking out of simple contrariness.) Pg may not be formally 'responsible,' but he's certainly at the head.īecause I'm an asshole, but not enough of one to get hellbanned (at least on this account), I am in some state of suspension: an artificial delay imposed on every request. This is the community and atmosphere that pg set up, that pg creates, moderates, and maintains. Why do I go that far? Because community culture is indicative of so many things. It's a policy of elitism a policy that disenfranchises in the name of some fictional notion of quality a policy that demonstrates just how rotten the tech industry is at heart. If I may get on my soapbox (if I wasn't already), I find the whole thing symptomatic of Silicon Valley's culture of networking hell and reputation management.
Some users have started kindly informing the hellbanned posters that, for whatever reasons, don't seem to notice that no one ever responds or upvotes their comments. HN has an amusingly childish policy of hellbanning individuals it deems inappropriate or otherwise objectionable-hellbanning hides the banned account's comments to everyone unless you set "showdead" to true in your account preferences.
