Having PG as a commenter, mod, and admin is a tremendous asset. HN also benefits from the close ties to YC in general--it'd be a bit tricky to tell all the YC folks that they need to post not on news.ycombinator.com but over at reddit.com/r/therealhackernews or whatever.

YC folks will post to whatever is considered the de rigeur nerd/startup news site, which over the last couple of years has become HN - having migrated from reddit (and slashdot, before). There will be another one, in due time.
