Startupping came about first. So why didn't you hang out at their forums there instead of here?

I follow both, actually. This site is better for news/discussion, I think that site is a little bit better for practical advice.

1. Never heard of it.

2. First impression not good. The interface looks like any other random vBulletin website. Just the news please

I visit startupping every once and a while, but the interface for news.yc is so much better - I can scan the posts and pick out the interesting stuff quickly.

I'm not fond of the structure of forums, news.yc matches the way I hunt for information better.

seems like the purpose of the sites are different, I've only been to startupping 1 or 2 times so I'm no expert. I visit YC News to get interesting news bites and the occasional comment conversation.

news.ycombinator is clean and easy to use. Its simple and it doesn't get in my way of reading news. I can discuss stuff if I feel like it.
