After 20,000 you gain skills to host your own copy of HN. So far that's only two people - pg himself and nickb. nickb's site is here: http://www.newmogul.com/

Sometimes I wonder how did pg get his 20,000 points before there even was HN. It's kind of recursive, right? I think some sort of leveraged borrowing was involved.

Does http://www.nonhackernews.com/ also use the hacker news code base?

No as it states it uses Slinkset.

Is that really true? You get a copy of the source code and license at 20,000 points?
