You might be surprised to find out that kuro5hin -- k5 -- is still around. Well, not for much longer. Absentee landlord Rusty Foster (temporarily?) blocked new user sign ups and in the process somehow managed to block existing users from logging in.
Dedicated users can edit the HTML to add back the login box (or use a query string). Though once popular, K5 never recovered from the last time Rusty blocked new users (eventually relenting and adding a $5 sign up fee). RIP. Truly a Web 1.0 icon.

A handful of words about what Kuro5hin is would have been nice. We don't all know everything.
Highlight the text Kuro5hin. Right-click. From the menu that pops up chose Search [default search engine] for Kuro5hin.
