I hadn't realised that the site was live that early. I have fond memories of discovering Hacker News in the early days (sorry, Startup News, as it was initially called). I'd been lurking on Reddit but the Reddit was rapidly losing its tech focus back then and the comments were starting to be dominated by silly jokes. This new site that Paul Graham had created seemed to capture some of what had previously made Reddit good and I've been (mostly) lurking here instead ever since.
