I like the idea (and voted as such), but doesn't that duplicate what noprocrast does? Though, it would be an interesting experiment to do for awhile; I'd like to see if your thought about improving the community by taking it away for a bit each day would have any noticeable effect. Also, among the sites to procrastinate on, I imagine that HN is one of the better ones - There's mostly intelligent conversations and submissions on here (as opposed to "Guide to Smoking Pot Around the World" on Digg, "Has to be the most disgusting crime ever... WTF!" on Reddit, or something similar on $insertOtherSocial"News"Site)

> I like the idea (and voted as such), but doesn't that duplicate what noprocrast does? It's a bit different - people come back as there is always something going on. noprocrast just excludes you. If the site is blacked-out there is no reason to visit.

For users who contribute to the discussion, I'm guessing most of the time they refresh the site it's just for a handful of seconds to see if anyone has responded to their comments. Noprocrast isn't really ideal for this use case scenario.
