We have two spin off sites by mattmaroon and nickb, respectively:
www.nonhackernews.com
www.newmogul.com
I've been trying to direct off topic posts to these forums. I think that's more constructive than complaining, b/c it also helps to develop new communities, and it is the community that provides the real value. I'd rather see a concentration of off beat news, or financial news, posted and discussed by passionate people in the know, than to have them trickle through the regular HN feed.
