While overall this seemed quite cool, I had an issue somewhat with the idea of news.startupguild.net. It's described as "A reddit style link rating & comment system dedicated to articles related to 'no-investment, start small, get big'". To me, this is a pretty large subset of what Hacker News is already. If I was a part of this guild, I'd hate to go to yet another website that is probably duplicating a lot of the content from HN, in the same style of Hacker News [ie, upvotes, comments, etc]. I'd much rather have something along the lines of a discussion forum, where people can discuss problems they are having in the startup world (along with relevant links and discussions on them), not ranked by points.

Point taken. I can't be 100% sure what it would end up like, but the intention would be to be very targeted to the subject at hand and not replicate HN. I must admit only a fraction of HN posts are relevant for me (30% max?) Interesting idea on the discussion forum, noted :)

I'd really like to have an alternative to news.yc, personally. As a bootstrapper-type that's not so interested in the YC program, news.yc rarely offers the type of community that I'd most want to be involved in. I don't dislike news.yc, but there's definitely room for competition here.
