Repdigit:
a number that consists of the same digit repeated one or more times.
In honor of item 666666 yesterday, and day 333 of holding on to my cowboy hat, here I present the SN items with repdigits between 11 - 333.
These happen to take place over a span of 33 days! 1
Enjoy this look back at the early days of Stacker News.

@banana: "(Stacker News) should have notifications"
Thus, so came the red square, and it was good...and addicting.
Has it always been a red square?
