I saw your communities section, but before seeing that I had an idea. You could start an aggregator of communities which used ThreadBase. The owners of these communities could make their community paid or invite based or referral based like invite 10 more people to get free access or X amount of days. hours access to content. Also, if you start getting lots of communities then you can have them pay for placement/promotion on top of page. Basically, individuals could have their own Threadbase and share news content which they consume or their views on Threadbase. Like when on twitter let's say Paul Graham/ Naval post an article, some discussion starts. But, there is a lot of visual fluff like like, share,retweet buttons which reduces amount of content one can view at once. the Hacker News/Reddit style of UI is good for such discussions. EDIT: I wrote all of this just by saying the title of your HN post here, now when I went to your site, I saw that you have Private communities planned. Nice.
