what would you prefer?
Glad you asked: * more news about Startups, less news about things tangentially related to startups * less churn on the homepage * a community made exclusively of people actually building websites * a limit on accepting new members * less talk about useless academic subjects * more "review my new project" submissions

I agree that there are more than a few links that don't interest me, but that doesn't mean I throw up my arms and say, "Well, that's it! This site has jumped the shark!"

Do you actually believe that "Startups" and "Hackers" ONLY build websites?
Assuming that you yourself "actually build websites", this seems like a good project to take on. The HN code is open source, it would be neat to see someone make an adaption of HN that fits the spirit of what they believe the site should be about.
I'd be very curious to see what the community and activity level around such a site would look like.
You've only made 3 submissions yourself. HN isn't a service being provided to you, whereby you sit and expect it to present you with interesting stories.
Please do not make this a personal attack on me, one member of the community. I argue that submitting nothing is better than submitting garbage links. Additionally, I am not bringing the site down by voting up egregious headlines.
imho it doesn't help that your post sounds more like whiny bitching than constructive criticism

SERIOUSLY? How does any of this "gratify [my] intellectual curiosity"? (http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
It does not.
Hacker News failed [me]. Does anybody have a better hangout spot [for my narrow definition of interesting]?

Can the downvoters please explain why you are voting me down?
If that doesn't make sense to you, just give it a few more minutes and the submission will probably be flagged dead.
