Yesterday morning I posted !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! of an i3 getting a parking ticket. By the end of the day it had a lil over 100 views and a few comments by some of you fine folks. But this morning I woke up to over 500 views (and counting) and a batch of new comments from grey people.

So, what happened? Was it shared somewhere? I doubt all these people are furiously scrolling through Oppo for old posts.

Maybe people in a different time zone? That, or it somehow ended up on the left-hand side menu of Oppositelock.

That's the thing, it hasn't made it to the sidebar. I feel like it must have been shared somewhere else in the Kinjaverse.

When you view an article, the left side column shows recent articles that the author has recommended or commented on. So... if someone recommends/comments on your post, then something THEY wrote gets shared to the FP, everyone reading it sees a link to your post on the sidebar.

So it's frontpaging by proxy, more or less. That's probably what happened.

Oh you know what, you're right. jbh recommended it and then his JetBlue article got frontpaged last night. Good job man!
