It seems to me that having a fixed "opening time" would interfere with the site more than aid it.
You're right, we should make the down hours fluctuate a little bit randomly. Like within the peak visit zone, make one or two of the hours a blackout period, and let that change every day (randomize it).
The page that replaces YC News during that time could be anything. What if YC did some advertising? That way, the silly folks who sit there refreshing (probably me) will at least be doing something productive (generating pageviews)?
