I think Dave needs a new tool.

I took down the site after YC blocked my IP address. I believe it was blocked as a result of increased usage from the explosion in traffic, resulting in some really heavy usage of the API. My guess is that YC's software did this automatically to prevent abuse. In addition, many folks weren't happy with me distributing the HN database. So there really wasn't a reason to keep it up.

How is that different from Paul Graham's essays? They are always linked here and this is where the discussion takes place.
Hacker News isn't a potentially valuable Internet resource waiting to be mined for interesting new applications. That's Twitter. Hacker News is an actual community. I don't know or care why the API got blocked, but I've been as happy with as many HN add-on apps as I have been incredibly irritated by them (paging: guy who scraped all HN job postings and made his own job site with them). From what I can tell, it's not…
You misunderstood what I was saying. Start with the firehose. I don't want it to make money, I want it so I can link this flow in with other flows that I'm following without having to visit all the sites. Not trying to make a business, just scratching my own itch having no idea where it leads.
