Hacker News is one of my favorite sites - i love it for the quality of the content. Hope it doesn't go down because of the attention that it's getting now.

We're screwed now... techcrunch isn't exactly known for its overly insightful comments. Welcome digg-like users!

The arrival of less insightful people is inevitable. The goal should be presenting the site such that they matter less or don't bother coming.

Insightful isn't a type of person, it's a type of idea.

Every person is a set of ideas.

I find it amusing people are 'upset' that HN got techcrunch'd with the story being posted on TechCrunch. You should be ecstatic the TechCrunch editor frequents this site so often as you would most likely sell your first born to get featured on TechCrunch.

you guys, relax. pg has been thinking long and hard about the newbie influx problem for many months now. he saw what happened to reddit, and he's applying his usual sensible approach to preventing that from happening here.

if anybody can do this, pg can.

You know, it really turns people off when you go around spamming your links all over the place (I've seem them both here and on reddit). You may have a great site, but perhaps you should let your technology speak for itself.

If it is truly great, people will come through word of mouth.

Well put. It'll be interesting to see how pg and team handle something that every other site has failed miserably with. I've got high hopes.

Not every site. The Ars Technica forums have maintained a surprisingly high level of quality discussion over the years. Ars uses human moderators who read every post and enforce the rules.
