It was a comment by someone on some forum. Someone looking for similar sites as reddit (so was I) and another user who had replied had mentioned about HN a forum which is almost as good or as bad as reddit just that people on HN like to believe they are inherently better than reddit. I am not sure which forum it was - maybe reddit itself. MeFi [0] and OneThingWell [1] are the gems I found in the same thread. Sadly OneThingWell's author took a long break due to RSI. Other forums/communities I found in that thread are/were SA [2], SDF, Barbelith [3] etc. I guess it was just when I had got access to readily available Internet (before that it was weekly an hour or so in cyber cafes). I had immediately signed up everywhere (there were dozens) and SA is the only I never really got used to, never really stayed there.
