At first, I myself noticed various comments from "greens", where they simply advertise some portal, but it was more and more of this. literally on every thread from the main list of HN.<p>And from time to time it even showed that the HN service was temporarily unavailable, so they literally took down HN.<p>But is there any official post about this event? I've been on HN for years and I've never experienced such a thing.
