The day BBC News Entertainment is worthy of discussion on hacker news is a dark day indeed.
Remember when this place was about programming and start ups?
It's called Hacker News. The proportion of hackers who are fans of geek culture (e.g. Buffy) is much larger than the proportion who are interested in start-ups. Indeed, I have never understood why this site seems obsessed with stories about start-ups, often posted by people who aren't even hackers.
Isn't reddit better for geek culture, in general? There's no tagging here, for example. Stories flow through too quickly if this site tries to be everything to everyone.
