k5 is cool in the same sense that Maggie is a man. Maggie <b>used</b> to be a man. k5 <b>used</b> to be cool.

This was back in about 1998 or so. 1999? The years blur together. But I digress. It's been a long time since it's been cool, and it's because of their "community". Everyone is an asshole. Or the people that post the most are. k5 is like a self-important Cellar with a hundred times the users. Everyone has this self-stroking intellectual masturbation thing going on, and it makes real discussion impossible.

It was good when it was smaller because it hadn't yet attracted those people. A few of them were there, but they were easy to ignore. It's long past critical mass. It needs to be dumped and started anew. The problem, of course, is that all the old people will sign up. And that ruins it again.
