I hope this won't turn into another... oh, my aching brain cells -- what what the econ/market site based on HN code?

If searchyc is toast, can we migrate it as opposed to simply the deadpool? There've already been some offers to host.

I'm hopeful that they're simply exploring options, and that it won't come to actual death.

(Hmm... It seems I'm very "optimistic", this morning. More coffee!)

New Mogul. That was quite enjoyable for a while.

You can follow economics on hubski. http://hubski.com/tag?id=economics Same code base, in for the long haul. :)

That's an interesting karma (and "clout") model there, which may be of interest as an example of how social clues can promote good discussion.

Thanks. It's unproven at scale, but so far, so good!

IMHO it's more effective to make water flow where you want, rather than to keep it from flowing where you don't. :) A little of both is necessary, but I think the first approach has more stability.
