On: Why doesn't HN get the hackernews.com domain?

Not that I know of. But since the site mostly exists to promote ycombinator, and doesn't directly make money, I would see no point in their doing so.

I understand where the original poster is coming from. news.ycombinator.com is not a very intuitive url for a website that is known as hacker news.

http://hackerne.ws works if you want a more intuitive url.
