Ah yes, but those were attempt to fork the non-HN crowd away from HN.
No one should be surprised that doesn't work. it's the old timers that are dissatisfied with the new crowd not the other way around.
Forking away the hackers works, reddit did it to slashdot, proggit to reddit, HN to proggit and reddit.
