I think there just happens enough here :) If you're doing other things at the same time, a fast community just moves too fast. I agree on the other thing though. This is not really a place where interesting conversations develop. Generally, after a few comments, a thread dies and fades away because it falls off the front page. It would be nice if it had some heuristic to keep threads that still have active discussion higher up. However, wouldn't a faster community make this even worse?

I disagree. I'm not saying faster as in faster growing. I mean a more active community. Instead of having a 100's of people submitting per day, have 10-30 people actively engaging in discussions with other people of like-minded interests. What I really like about 4chan is the sheer volume of content. Everytime you refresh the page there's new discussions going on. People are just talking to people interested in listening. If we can group together just hackers and startups to have a place to go for their questions, meeting people, and talking to people of mutual interest, in an active and engaging way, I think it would be a fun place to be.

  I'm working on exactly this area at Sparkmuse. We're trying to build -the- startup community including all of the related disciplines (hackers, designers, marketers, etc). Although obvious, 4chan has an enormous community which is why they have so much activity. Successfully growing a community to that scale is immensely difficult. Our community is based on a mission to help tech entrepreneurs succeed. That includes giving feedback on ideas, helping cofounders meet, providing discussion areas, and hooking founders up with good deals. If that is something you find interesting, I'm actively looking for people to join up with us and make it a reality.

    I think that good founders will make a good product. The question everyone always hears though is "Where can I find a co-founder?", I'm having that question myself and it sounds like you are too. If that question sounds like something that'd be interesting to answer feel free to give me a call (925)-200-8843, and I mean right now.
