Kuro5hin (K5; read "corrosion")[1] was a collaborative discussion website founded by Rusty Foster in 1999, having been inspired by Slashdot.[2] Articles were created and submitted by users and submitted to a queue for evaluation. Site members could vote for or against publishing an article and once the article had reached a certain number of votes, it was published to the site or deleted from the queue.[3] The site has been described as "a free-for-all of news and opinion written by readers".[4] Around 2005, its membership numbered in the tens of thousands.[3]
On May 1, 2016, the site was closed down permanently with all content taken offline.[5] Foster stated at the time that it might return in the form of a static archive at a later date.[6]
