Can't you use your own server to get the data you want from the Reddit API only once, and then serve this as many times as you want (since the server is yours)?
But what if I want comments from 1200 threads? It will take me 40 minutes at one request every two seconds. I understand why reddit (and other API's) do the limit, I just want to find a way to experiment w/ new commenting UI's and still withstand the HN/reddit effect when showing it off.
