Mine is zombo.com. I still remember how I felt the first time I sat there waiting for this incredible site where I could do anything! The internet was new enough (to me) and amazing enough that I thought it just might be possible that I had stumbled upon a place where the only limit was myself.
Now that you mention it, there definitely has been a subtle shift between loving my time with the internet, and just using it. I wonder when that happened?
Thanks for being open about your moderation and intent. Folks need to understand that the alternative is not to have Homestar Runner stay on the Hacker News front page (that was never in the cards), but to go back to silent moderation. This is an improvement.
I'm not always going to be spending all day, every day posting things like this. I'm going to do it until you're all good and sick of it, and then go back to being mostly silent—but easily accessible.
What's clear is that the community has been starved for answers at our end. It really was a classical starvation problem (algorithmically I mean): the resource stream couldn't come close to keeping up. One reason—the main reason—we're changing HN is to fix that. And we're going to err on the side of verbosity and metaness for a while until we can all relax.
It's something that's very close to the hearts of a huge number of this site's target readership - but no, it's not really relevant. Apologies if this is considered spamming!
I don't personally like that you did this, but I think it's the right move and I wholeheartedly support it. The truth is, I only don't like it because homestarrunner.
