    I think sometimes the mods press a button to remove it (certain posts) from the front page if they don't think it belongs on the site.

      I posted a Remind HN: Call your mom for Mother's Day. It did very well, then mysteriously disappeared, so your thesis is probably right.

        Yea, I think I'm right. I've noticed posts on the front page disappear suddenly and got drowned several pages down.

      But then it wouldn't have gotten any upvotes and wouldn't have hit the front page, would it?
