I think Seibel wasn't the person who controlled the forum, but I'm sure he participated in moderating it and knew a lot about it.

Part of the quality is the community that's built around it. Part is the quality is the fact they censor I'd guess around 30% of comments to keep the quality high. Here on saidit we remove maybe 0.05% of comments or so. It's very easy to have a comment or post removed on news.ycombinator.com, it's much tighter than reddit. I think reddit removes maybe 2% of comments or so, and he's probably going to increase that to like 5% to get it closer to ycombinator's quality.
