- dang 3y agoNo, reposts are fine after a year or so: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. That's always been HN's policy and it strikes a nice balance - it means the site is not overrun by duplicates, but at the same time good content gets multiple chances at discussion. That's especially important for new cohorts of users, who haven't seen the classics yet.
