This place is amazing, and I learned so much about a variety of topics. Most of my MD colleagues use Twitter or Facebook, where the signal-to-noise is much, much lower. I assume there have been plenty of spin-offs from HN (I would LOVE to have a similar forum for discussing medical issues; Can I fork the codebase somehow?), but I do think the secret sauce is moderation.

Also, politically, I'm "an enlightened centrist" lol and nearly all of the political spectrum here is represented well IMO, and even personal attacks/strawman arguments are not immediately banned but first discouraged.

Thanks dang!

The original codebase is at http://arclanguage.org/ and many forums have started with it over the years.

One of these years we'll release an update of it that incorporates a lot of the changes we've made to HN.

Out of curiosity, absent such a release, is there a public changelog anywhere? If not, that would be a great start.
