	Kuro5hin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kuro5hin (K5) (pronounced "corrosion") is a community discussion website focused on technology and culture.

	Jonathan Dance :: WWWW :: Web Genre Analysis :: Kuro5hin.org
		What makes Kuro5hin unique is their second motto, "The best stories of the day, chosen by you." This theme runs throughout Kuro5hin and impacts the site in every way.
		Kuro5hin is run primarily by two individuals, namely "rusty" and "Inoshiro;" their real names are not readily available.
		Kuro5hin does an excellent job in providing the tools necessary for the users to essentially run the site themselves, which is amazing.

	Rusty Foster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kuro5hin is hosted for free by sponsors, and the Collaborative Media Foundation that Foster promised to set up with the money never materialised, so it is not known what the money was actually used for.
		A long-running joke on Kuro5hin is that Foster is now rich, wears a monocle and enjoys yachting.
		Foster entered the political arena, partnering up with weblog moguls such as Markos Moulitsas Zúniga of Daily Kos, who it is rumoured he also had a brief homosexual relationship with.

	Geek.com Geek News - Kuro5hin closes its doors ... for good?
		Kuro5hin, in the four months since I discovered its existance on the 'Net, has been one of my favourite news and discussion sites.
		Kuro5hin, on the other hand, was completely user-run: users submitted the news and then were able to vote on the submissions and decide which would be displayed on the main site itself.
		Two things made Kuro5hin one of the best: its staff (volunteers who received no money in exchange for offering a free service for all) and its users (without whom, it must be said, Kuro5shin would not have been possible).

	Four independent news sites
		What the creators of KenRadio, Kuro5hin, IWantMedia and Metafilter share is a relentless drive, a passion for their subject matter, and an abiding respect for the power of the Internet to reach thousands of readers cheaply and effectively.
		Kuro5hin (pronounced "corrosion," a pun on Rusty's first name; the 5 is a programmers' pun that somehow eludes me) has a bit more than 20,000 registered subscribers and garners 100,000 unique visitors and 2.5 million page views a month — or did until the site's servers went belly up in late November.
		Kuro5hin was nominated for a Webby award last spring as best community site, and Foster seems almost like a proud parent when discussing how self-sufficient the site has become.

	CTDATA: Kuro5hin.org is the Latest Community Web Site to Ask for Donations
		Kuro5hin is a site that was started by a group that left the Slashdot community because it was interested in having the site's readers vote on the worthyness of submitted stories, instead of relying upon the editorial judgement of the editors.
		Kuro5hin has always had a small fraction of the traffic that Slashdot has, although the stories that are run on Kuro5hin are often quite interesting.
		The idea of {Kuro5hin} is that it's a place, a community, for people to come and talk and listen to each other and be people, not products.

		Although, methinks the kuro5hin community doesn't have a clear grasp of what the word "trenches" actually involves.

	Preserve Kuro5hin appeal on track \| The Register
		Kuro5hin founder Rusty Foster's appeal for funds has been a roaring success, he told us today.
		Rusty has appealed not to save Kuro5hin, well not directly, but something a far, far worse: wage slavery.
		The Kuro5hin appeal is still only half-way to meeting its $70,000 target, so there's some way to go.

	Kuro5hin is broke (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The site said it had tried text ads and for a while this contributed revenue to Kuro5hin, but that's been declining over the few months it's been going.
		Rusty, who runs the site, says that only 1,200 people have subscribed to a premium membership scheme and that, combined with the text ads, is not enough to cover the costs of the site.
		Kuro5hin has a poll on its site and there's an interesting article about the economics of the New Media which you can find by clicking here.

	Script kiddies fell Kuro5hin \| The Register
		Kuro5hin is temporarily out of action while its volunteer management finds a way of coping with a variety of denial of service attacks sustained by the site this week.
		Kuro5hin (pronounced "corrosion") is a treasured recent arrival, and has rapidly gained a reputation as a refuge from first generation watering holes, such as Slashdot, as a place where the debate is less partisan and where the Big Issues are tossed about without too much self-righteous intervention.
		In fact a trash-Scoop script k5troll has been available for some time, but Foster says that this was only one of number of DoS tactics used against Kuro5hin, and only deployed at the latter stages of the assaults.

		I am often warned that my time here at Kuro5hin exacerbates my symptoms of mental illness.
		But in one very important way Kuro5hin serves as a medical device that enables me to enjoy a certain very important component of sanity that would otherwise be largely unavailable to me.
		It enables me, for a time, to live free of a devasting symptom that was notably absent from my list of symptoms that I published in three years ago in Living with Schizoaffective Disorder because I was at the time so completely in its grip as to be unaware even of its existence.

	Stay FAR Away From Kuro5hin's Site!
		But Kuro5hin is full of hate and adult subjects that are better left off the Internet and in adult bookstores.
		Too numerous to mention, but I try to learn something from each one in order to become a better person in this life-time to bring myself to a higher level and to be an example to my children to learn from their mistakes as well.
		But I have a feeling that the members of Kuro5hin will not learn from their mistakes and they will continue to make the same mistakes over and over again.

		Therefore, even though the Mojo selection process for "super-moderation" (or whatever Kuro5hin calls it) ends up being arbitrary, as long as the pool of candidates is good, the results will be effective.
		Sometimes I think too much focus is placed on the "average", "overall", or "community" qualities of discussion forums, and not enough on individual differences.
		One example specific to Kuro5hin was a recent submitted article about "spark.org"--a very controversial website.
