We could stop thinking of them as walled gardens we're trying to get into and start thinking of them as quarantines for the Eternal September population.

Hacker News actually has a way to do this quarantine, a version that only counts votes from accounts created before 2008: https://news.ycombinator.com/classic. About a decade after Eternal September started, but not bad.

FWiW as an aside, it appears to count votes from December 2008 accounts (as just tested using this 2008-12-26 account).

So that's at least strictly before 2009.
