Folks, it appears Kuro5hin is dead:
The site was founded by Rusty Foster in December 1999, having been inspired by Slashdot.[10] Kuro5hin's membership once numbered in the tens of thousands,[11] but its popularity declined significantly from its peak in the early 2000s.[13] On May 1st, 2016, the site was closed down permanently.
I didn't visit it. It seemed then like the bunker where the tinfoil hat brigade hung out. In the Slashdot days it served as the guardrail for conventional wisdom. But now that the tinfoil hat brigade has been entirely vindicated, and Kuro5hin is dead, it makes me a little sad. What are your favorite memories of Kuro5hin, and will we see its like again?

#4, our very own beloved MDC! :)
I went to k5 every once in a while to look around: i came, i saw, i saw a lot of bitching about MDC and not a whole lot else.
Maybe i missed something, but couldn't see enough there to look closer at what i may have been missing. SoylentNews is much better, IMHO
