Re: We want a sub-YCNews
#2We need a SUB-YCnews where the people of news.yc can post other stuff that they are interested in. That is exactly how startup inspiration will occur. Not by talking about startups all day till you bleed through your nose. We want sub-yc! we want sub-yc! we want sub-yc! [ :o| Consults wikipedia on how to start a lynch mob.]

Who are these news.yc people?

#4This, somehow, seems like it might belong in the Feature Request section. :p
I don't think the site has the user base to sustain subfeeds at the moment. Also it isn't really intended to be a one-stop source for everything, feel free to create a better one and ask us to migrate though. :)

That's how Reddit became crappy. There's plenty of other aggregators that will give you news on anything you might imagine.
PG, please keep YCNews focused and keep it niche. More people and wider subjects will just diffuse the relevancy of content.
Re: We want a sub-YCNews
#8There are only two reasons you'd want to do that: (a) if the volume of submissions became too great for a single thread, or (b) if people wanted to talk about things that would otherwise be offtopic.
(a) is obviously not the case yet. As for (b), this is a site about startups. If it's not at least somewhat related to startups, it shouldn't be here.
If what you're really asking for is a general news site, not about startups, I'm thinking of starting one. But if I do it won't be at this url.

again no concrete reply in that thread. only: "I can't remember|I don't know exactly|etc ..." I think at news.yc is slightly everything interesting, the only thing I can't stand is "The True Zuckerberg's Story" 22 times a day.

No, Digg is how Reddit became crappy. A pictures sub-reddit might help fix it.
But news.yc definitely does not need subs. It IS a sub and nothing else.
