The K5 diaries are still going back and forth, that's interesting.

Huh. There's a blast from the past.

I get occasional reminder spam of my email address used for k5 having been harvested at some point, but looking at those diaries doesn't fill me with a desire to return there.

Maybe to HuSi at some point.

Kuro5hin's alexa rank is about 300,000 also many stories have significant pagerank. One can see from google trends that k5 is a popular site to read, but the five dollar one-time troll suppression fee discourages new members.

I'd consider this a positive, not a negative.

That fee was established to keep a lid on Jason Pawloski, no one else.

Unfortunately, five dollars is far beyond the means of much of the earth's population.
