Comment on Ask HN: Point thresholds?

Comments

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.

Check it out you could create your own in two seconds.

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

He's joking. Anyone can have the source code. http://www.arclanguage.org/install

sigh. you could have played along! :)
