I understand the idea has been rejected. I'm still gently, politely, mentioning that some people find the threads interesting fun and useful and hoping that the decision is changed.

I know that halfbaked covers some of the purpose, and there are probably reddit sub-reddits that do similar things, but still, and HN version would be good.

Ah okay cool, I agree that they were interesting - HN would be my preferred community to get ideas with I think. (Just say your karma, sorry if my original post was condescending!)

Will check out halfbaked, haven't heard of that. There's a subreddit /r/somebodymakethis which has occasionally had some interesting ideas (it led to RES) but there's probably better options.

There was a HN styled forum posted a while back too, (found it in the comments) http://firespotting.com/ - but it's definitely less active and a smaller community.
