With the requests pinging around here, I'll say it explicitly - I'm a member, and I'm happy to send an invite to any active HNer.

I would really appreciate an invite! Thanks

This isn't an existing site, but it's an idea for a new site. It always seemed to me like the list of up/downvotes forms a graph not unlike hyperlinks the web; I'd be curious to see a site that tried to apply a PageRank-like algorithm to that graph rather than a pure "one vote = one point" system like reddit. Of course this would probably lead to SEO-like techniques and attempts to game the system, and high-karma acc…

I'll take an invite if you're still dishing them out. Thanks!

Do you still have invites? Thanks either way.

People who might like a Lobsters invite should make their E-mail known in their profile. (Having some contact info in your HN profile is probably a good idea in general. I think the likelihood of spam is pretty low.)

If you can, can you invite me to lobste.rs? It seems like a community that I would be proud to be a part of. Thanks in advance. You can invite me through ygtckr()gmail.com

I cannot divulge what I am working on just yet, but this thread and your post have certainly helped to make it great. Thanks!

Don't forget to divulge when you can.

I really wish HN would have tags, that's the killer feature of lobster for me (Someone posted http://newshack.io/ a while ago, which is an interface for HN with automatically generated tags, but I don't find it as good). I've mixed feelings instead toward it being invite only - From one side, the fact that your account is something "precious" can encourage smart/intelligent discussions, and it's also hard for trolls/…

I'm also creating a hackernews with tags (but more for SMB and personalisation (eg. news,interests, ...))
