Dear Facebook: Please Stop Trying to Steal My Co-Founder

That flag is driving me insane, as well as the social bar and the moving "Aaron Dinin", takes up the entire page and won't get out of my way so I can read the text - some of us like reading on phones you know (iOS 5.1.1 here)

I do not feel that this post deserves front page mention. Frankly, this reads as less about the co-founder being approached but rather the OP wishing to be poached as well.<p>It's not as though highly talented back end developers are lacking recruitment offers these days.

Ironically this post will result in more headhunters trying to cash in on your co-founder since you told them how good he is etc etc

If your cofounder is ready to leave you for one of those companies, then it's only a matter of time before he leaves of his own accord.

Honestly, headhunter contacts are a dime a dozen. Front end, back end, whatever, if you have any visibility at all you get used to ignoring them pretty quickly.

So I decide to try and work out what flagtap actually is. The page which the flag link takes me to asks me to either login or sign up based on 3 images which promise to fulfill all my wildest dreams. No thanks.<p>So I cut the end off the URL and checked the front page, just a login screen. Oh, there's an about link down the bottom, that's what I'm after. Click. Huh, I need to login to see the about page?<p>Sigh.<p>Goodbye.

I dig FlagTap. I'd been looking for a decent way to incentivize the users of my dating site into reaching out to other users, and ended up building a rewards module myself. It's been a big hit on the site, but I'd much rather have something easier to implement in the future. Would you be able to do a custom implementation of FlagTap (custom gifts, matching palette, etc)?

Something's fishy about this article...feels fabricated. Is this the only way to get attention for your sites on HN these days?

Not sure what to think of this blog post. Though it appears flagtap.com does not currently load. So, about that office next to his...

Every good cofounder is at risk to be hired away. You have to motivate them to stay.<p>Of course the post was written in jest.

Your extremely talented cofounder put the punchline of intellisult below the fold at 1440x900. I thought the site was broken.<p><a href="http://imgur.com/EKlmK" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/EKlmK</a><p><i>Edit:</i> I also didn't see the green flag the first time. When I refreshed it showed up.
