Comment on Show HN: I built Swinton Report for unbiased, user driven news a HN clone.

Are you faking those upvote values? Because it's pretty obvious that with 0 comments on every URL submit and 100+ upvotes that you are.

My advice from launching and failing at my own HN clone is to make the false upvotes look more realistic. Don't be afraid of making them in the 20-40 votes range. A lot of people liked HN better back when it had a smaller userbase.
