Introducing the Startup Guild: A Community for Entrepreneurs

While overall this seemed quite cool, I had an issue somewhat with the idea of news.startupguild.net. It's described as "A reddit style link rating & comment system dedicated to articles related to 'no-investment, start small, get big'". To me, this is a pretty large subset of what Hacker News is already. If I was a part of this guild, I'd hate to go to yet another website that is probably duplicating a lot of the content from HN, in the same style of Hacker News [ie, upvotes, comments, etc].

I'd much rather have something along the lines of a discussion forum, where people can discuss problems they are having in the startup world (along with relevant links and discussions on them), not ranked by points.

I'd really like to have an alternative to news.yc, personally. As a bootstrapper-type that's not so interested in the YC program, news.yc rarely offers the type of community that I'd most want to be involved in.

I don't dislike news.yc, but there's definitely room for competition here.

Point taken. I can't be 100% sure what it would end up like, but the intention would be to be very targeted to the subject at hand and not replicate HN.

I must admit only a fraction of HN posts are relevant for me (30% max?)

Interesting idea on the discussion forum, noted :)
