Recently I have asked a couple of questions on HN and my posts have been almost immediately bounced to the <i>n</i>th page - virtually out of existence.<p>What's going on? I don't think they have been unreasonable questions - mainly asking for answers to addressing financial calcs for startups - surely very relevant questions for this forum.
A quick review shows that you do indeed ask a lot of questions. Some have attracted a good number of karma points so this would imply that the more interesting ones are getting the attention they deserve.<p>Of course, time of day can have an impact - if a lot of submissions turn up on the new page at the same time then yours can sink below the fold before it gets much attention.
Your posts were probably bounced down because HN bounces nearly every post down.<p>I believe an "Ask HN" makes the top of the front page with just a few upvotes. But most questions are uninteresting. Including this one.
