Yeah I think I like it more, as well. It'd probably best to take a screenshot of the drama, upload it to imgur, and then make to post the link to imgur and link the real thread in the text and/or comments, just in case someone deletes their post. Reddit's definitely better for meta stuff.
are bots compatible with this site? Someone could design a snapshotbot just like in the other place
hubski crashed yesterday because of the spike in new users. Putting out a functional API that can withstand automated bot calls seems...unlikely, at least for the near future.
if you read about the architecture of the site, you'd know that scaling across servers/load balancing nodes is non-trivial. And there is a huge difference between balancing API loads and regular UI loads.
