I'm not a member of your target audience, but I can't imagine BoredBanker is a very motivating name for people to start interesting discussions.

Banker News

I actually love this as a name. I was originally going to say "just stick with Financier News", but Banker News is perfect.

I actually like the idea of this site. I spent a few years consulting in financial services and always found the world fascinating. I could see myself browsing it on a regular basis.

I am a member of his target audience, BoredBanker is not a very motivating name for me to start interesting discussions. And thats a big shame, because I was recently lamenting the lack of Slashdot/reddit/HN for the finance industry.

I'm also a member of your target audience. Change the name to something else from "Financier News" && "Bored Banker". Site looks good - have bookmarked.

Hey! Awesome job. Can you please tell me how I can do this, albeit for the natural resource and conservation sector (which really needs disrupting)? Is there some off-the-peg software that I can use?

Nor is it a good name for word-of-mouth. "Hey, I saw an interesting article on BoredBanker."

The creator needs to buy boardbanker.com as well.

As someone who doesn't know LISP or any LISP-based languages, the source is surprisingly easy to read.

I like it.
