Actually, is Arc used anywhere except for this forum and HN?

We hear about the odd person using it when they come here to ask questions or report bugs (e.g. http://arclanguage.org/item?id=18580). Often we can't tell what they're up to, but the most common impetus seems to be to build a HN-like community for their own interests, such as http://arclanguage.org/item?id=18620, or http://arclanguage.org/item?id=17325.

Googling around, I found it quite easy to find a HN clone called http://firespotting.com at https://github.com/mmccaff/PlacesToPostYourStartup. Another location: http://www.quora.com/Hacker-News/Whats-the-best-way-to-creat.... There's other stacks now to create clones, but many clones still use arc.

The biggest install I know of is http://hubski.com. Perhaps we should keep a list somewhere. But really what we seem to care about here is thinking about alternative stacks. That and helping beginners to programming in general or arc in particular :)
