  But with the very key addition of moderation.

    I actually wish someone just throw up a vbulletin install for all the off-topic discussions. That's really what people want. All these Ask YC/HN stuff, people wanting profiles or avatars, etc.

        I actually wish someone would create an OS as nice and user friendly as OSX, with the market share of Microsoft, and completely open source. Also, that I had a pony.

      I'm really aiming for something else. No Ask YC kinda stuff. You're right though, that stuff is very forum-like.

    DMCA Safeharbour? Not that there's much to sue --> But my understanding is that say if someone put up the HD DVD key - if you moderate - then you lose the "it wasn't us - it was the users" defence.

    subreddits have moderation But I like slinkset - and its UI is more like oldschool HN than web 2 reddit.

  done: http://www.reddit.com/r/nonhackernews/ http://www.reddit.com/r/nonhackernews/ note it's moderated (Matt, you can have this if you want - just a demo).

    basically same thing as the slinkset site, no? i still agree with alaskamiller - if we do anything for unrelated content, why not use a forum? more logic at: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=312213 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=312213
