He might be excited about how far they took everything but I’ve heard very little positive about Netscape since the changeover. He gets major points though for getting people to talk about a website for a browser that most of us abandoned in the 90s.

One doesn't need to look further than <a href="http://reddit.com">today's reddit logo</a> to see how the reddit team is reacting (in fact, the story is <a href="http://reddit.com/info/agw8/comments">still on the front page</a>... I think KR and company already buried it off the digg front page). He might be able to siphon a few users off, but the negative impact on these sights will be minimal and the added value to netscape.com even less noticable... he's a fool to think he can buy a community to right his sinking ship.

This may be the beginning of a new industry. Regarding self-hosting: you also avoid having your reputation tied to that of your host.
