It's invite only. It is more useful than the others because of its high SNR. It's useful for members of the Silicon Valley echo chamber because it's entirely populated by members of the Silicon Valley echo chamber. They seem to also have good usability and cool tech that helps keep thing even more relevant, but the challenge will come when it is opened to the "How is babby formed?" Yahoo Answers public.
http://ask.metafilter.com prevents eternal september by intentionally making the sign-up process slightly difficult. Rough interface and a $5 fee for new accounts.
And extremely active moderators who are themselves respected, accessible community members, and who will actually help new users understand why their posts or comments were deleted and how to act within the social norms.

#28Is the spare invite offer available for those who don't regularly contribute to Hacker News?
Damn, I'm not that confident with putting any real profile online though. I wonder if they would eventually open up for fake online personalities.
Btw my e-mail: piecesoffish at gmail
