I wanted to see if there had been any visible decrease in quality. Doesn't look like it. There's surprisingly little difference between this and the regular frontpage.

I'm not sure if this measure means much... with no downvotes, if quality goes down, "classic users" will simply vote less often. That would be a decently interesting statistic: (page views)/(story votes) over the lifetime of older accounts. Not sure if that data is still available, though.

Actually one of the surprising things is the huge percentage of votes cast by old-timers. For frontpage articles it is never less than 40% and sometimes as much as 80%.

Doesn't this make sense? The people who are most likely to vote are those who feel like they're part of the HN community, and those people are much more likely to be old-timers. I guess this is somewhat surprising if there are many many more newcomers. What's the ratio of new voters to old voters?
