Out of curiosity, what was the site?

The only clone I'm familiar with is (defunct) christdot.org.

Smokedot.org, in 2002.

I'll let you guess what the site was!

The problem was similar to a Goldfish group I left on Facebook: Every day someone, in a panic, would ask for help with a sick goldfish with the same exact symptoms as a post made the day prior.

Needless to say, if a community can't occasionally discuss what content it wants, and what content to exclude, it devolves. HN has a "no politics" rule. I think it's okay to discuss if other content needs to be excluded too.
