I still have about 3 weeks left before I can make that complaint.

Luckily though, HN seems to be holding steady, and it has a long way to go before it becomes Reddit. HN is like having a conversation in your living room at a cocktail party with a lot of smart people in attendance. Reddit is like having a conversation at a sports bar with a bunch of random drunk assholes.

You should check out some of the smaller subreddit communities. For example, r/coding is extremely nerdy and has virtually 0 drunk assholes.

I think if we can get it to the point where it's like going out for beers with a bunch of smart people at a reasonably nice bar that will be perfect.

Yeah, but that's going to attract "hangers-on", isn't it? I think that's why that sort of community can either be stable or open but not both.
