Wow, site is hosed already. It's probably a good idea to do some basic load testing on your site before submitting a link ;)
Anyway, this is day 1130 for me. Before here I was on Slashdot, but had largely stopped using it before that. All its weaknesses and rough edges aside, to me HN is simply the most worthwhile forum I've ever been on.
I get most of my tech news from here, it has largely replaced RSS to be honest, it's a great place to see what smart people are up to right now, and finally it often provides content in the discussions that surpasses the content of the original article. I also enjoy discussions with smart people who don't necessarily agree with me (as long as it's civil).
One of its most valuable properties is the fact that it doesn't really matter (that much) who you are. HN gives virtual nobodies like me the chance to interact with extremely talented people and I'm really grateful for that.
