Thank you!

Yes, I remember Patch. I was always rooting for it. Village is similar: for example, in addition to posting links, users can create photos, maps and essays (sort of similar to the self-publishing of Patch). In some ways, Village is sort of a mix between Patch and Hacker News.

Patch still exists. Are you talking about it in past tense because it isn't good anymore?

Err. I thought it had been closed- but you're right, it still exists. Earlier this year AOL sold it to Hale Global (http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB1000142405270230414940...), maybe that's where I got confused.
