Yes, I’ve often thought about this and wished there were some way to comment or revive an older discussion (although even the ability to comment on an >30 day discussion would hold little value inside HN— so it would need to be on some other site/forum).

Once I “designed” (on paper) a site to hold the meta discussion that happens on HN (and the internet) Many times there is a post about some piece of tech that reaches the top, followed up by tools, counter-ideas and new ideas building on the OP. Would be cool to trace those arcs across time and sites. As a user you could subscribe to the topic and make your comment

Managing spam would probably be challenging with every discussion open for comments.
