Wait until the Chatbots, Indians, Russians, and Muslims find it and take it over like they did Reddit.

Rusty Foster is a deadbeat! I paid $500 of my own money to help support Kuro5hin, and then Rusty took all the money everyone donated to him, and instead of fixing Kuro5hin and Scoop, he fixed his house instead.

That happens a lot. I missed out on K5, but I've heard many a story from our friend Brogdel here. I joined another well-known discussion board back in 2003 that got pretty big as well, and the money was also embezzled, although on a much larger scale. They ripped off investors for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I inherited what was left of the community and built another moderately successful forum, but eventually walked away from the headache. THIS is much more my style.

At least they didn't sell out as Slashdot did. Slashdot is now ads posing as posts.
