The problem cited could probably be solved by a fork, if you could make it more appealing to the general masses than Digg / Reddit / HN currently are.

I wonder if we could get a cycle going? As people jump from one to another, a few folks regress and reform at the base? I wonder how Kuro5hin is doing these days...

It will be interesting to see how many people upmod here without having read the previous link.

Either way, forking or tagging links would be a good idea at this point

Just scaring off the new crowd with hard core hacker interest stuff.

Do your part, upvote some Haskell articles.

Favoring one particular language is hardly hacker-eqsue!

HN content is just as much a joke as any other "news" site. Just pump it through a reader and quit wasting time on their erlang flooded homepage.
