Either they put way too much work into this site (which has a rather small audience) or, much more likely, this is a demostration of the huge flexibility of their infrastructure. Notice the integration of this with Flickr, Yahoo! Video, their news services, etc. Apparently, they have the details worked out so well, they can kick out a really thin "vertical" like this with relative ease. I would be really surprised if they didn't release a ton more of these within the coming months, trying to pull tiny communities into the bigger Yahoo! network.
