So true about those other sites. I'm so happy to have found HN, and I no longer even remember how it happened.

It'll eventually happen to HN like it has with every other social news site out there.

i don't think so. those other sites are motivated by maximum users and pageviews. the management around these parts are motivated by quality and high signal-to-noise, and actively discourage trolls and discord.

With respect, you've been here for 2 months. I think it's a bit premature of you to predict the demise of YC.

Yeah, our niche will out last those other niche(s)!

But seriously, Digg had a chasm to cross, I don't think HN can go mainstream.

Well, the goal of this site is not to grow large, it is to be useful (as per PG).

Digg and reddit are companies before all else; their goal is to grow as large as possible.

Artima hasn't "gone digg", I don't see why this site has to.

Artima doesn't look to be a social news site.

With respect, you're an ass. Just because I've had a registered account does not mean at all that I've only been on the site for 2 months.

I guess when the user base starts resorting to childish name-calling, the end probably is near.

How big of you.

Will you please stop wasting space with these silly arguments?
