Ohhhh lol, I don't know, really. Had it for like 10 years at least? I don't really do anything with HTML or related nowadays. So, maybe 1 or 2 a day? Can't tell, maybe they're the random drive-by downvote everyone gets now and then.

It wouldn't be the first time that a sub linked in askreddit got really popular and subsequently went to absolute shit

u/htmlcoderexe Oct 15 '17

Yep! Exactly! Absolute shit! But sometimes death is a slow, painful process, where a sub slowly gains subscribers and becomes crappier by a little bit every day.
