Why not just port to the Reddit codebase? The functionality seems similar.

    You might be joking, but in case not: reddit's code base is open source, so others can use it without moving the community under the reddit umbrella.

  Maybe it would be too much work to rewrite the specific logic that prevents HN 'manipulation' for reddit? Although I suppose much of the behavior and target audience is similar...

  The HN code base is as much an experiment in Arc as it is a social news site. Also the feature set is surprisingly different (although I wish some of the features were here like comment collapsing and async comment submission).
