There's a Mahalo 'community'?

Sure, in the sense that there is also a Demand Media 'community'.

Actually, there is a really solid community of folks building pages, asking questions, providing answers, etc.

I'm inclined to believe this. Check out this question titled "Do your family members or friends criticize you for the amount of time you spend on Mahalo?"

At least it's not a message to the Hacker News community.

I love how snarky comments are downvoted on HN UNLESS they're about Mahalo. 30 more karma to go, then I'm going to come back and downvote you and everyone else making the same comment on this thread.

HN has a general disdain towards anything which is detrimental to the online landscape (spam, bad pieces of legislation, etc).

No one really gives a crap about Jason or Mahalo, the consensus just seems to be that it operates in the gray areas of SEO with little value added to the content they vacuum in.

Feel free to correct the perception though.

Not arguing about the dubiousness of Mahalo. I agree with the assessment. But I don't see why we're lowering the bar for the quality of comments when it's re: a maligned entity. Sorry, it's still HN, when I read a thread about Mahalo I'm not looking for a me-too dogpile of jokes or zings. I want to read some real analysis.
