As a cost effective substitute for K5. Let's face it, K5 is the crack cocaine of the weblogs. Addictive but short lasting 'hits' from the diaries leave the user feeling intially euphoric with the feeling of 'well at least I am not a big a loser as that sad tosser' but this soon wears off and the user is left feeling empty and ends up searching desperately on the diary section for more 'hits'.

This addiction has caused some people to lose their jobs, break up their relationships or start their own piss take version.

Thankfully God in his infinite wisdom has decided to strike down with great wrath upon the evil doers. His tool has been the co-locators who have decided to sabotage the infamous 'Bubba' responsible for spreading lies and bullshit accross the net.

Or why the fuck you think we are interested in hearing about 'K5' (whatever that is). It sounds as if this 'K5' is some sort of haven for wankers and pseudo-intellectuals. If you have come here from 'K5', I suggest you go and find another website to contaminate with your wooly left-wing thinking, and adolescent self-absorbed whining.

Adequacy is all about controversy, not groupthink.

K5ers, please go away, you are not welcome here.

<P>I started here well before the other site went down. I had trusted user status before this was suspendede and have contributed a number of commentds to the site. I even have posted a <A hRef = "http://www.adequacy.org/?op=displaystory;sid=2001/7/22/114635/940">story here</A> under another pseudonym.</P>
<P>So I don't know what the problem is here. A comparison to crack cocaine to K5 and mention of somebody I know in RL who made what I thought was quite a funny comment is such a fucking affront to your sensibilities then yep ban my IP...<P>



You are clearly not adequate. (none / 0) (#4)

Since you seem unable to comprehend even the simplest of computing related tasks such as selecting 'HTML formatted' from a drop-down menu.

As for what is the problem ? You used the expression 'RL' which is a clear sign of a weblog wanker. This 'K5' must be a really crappy site if it lets you get away with stupid 'nerd' talk like that. Let me guess - are you a 15-year old Linux user by any chance ?

You accusing me of being unable to use 'HTML' tag and at the same time being a Linux loving computer nerd who uses the term 'RL'. Some contradiction, surely...

Unfortunately I have no editorial powers to correct my mistakes unlike your good self. Can you delete the previous comment and let me resubmit correctly...

No contradiction whatsoever. The vast majority of Linux users are posers with no technical skills whatsoever. They use Linux because it makes them feel like 1337 h4x0r5.

I just thought you might be one of these people. Slashdot is full of them, and since this 'K5' seems to be a slashdot clone, I assume the same mindset persists there too.

It is you who are not adequate (5.00 / 2) (#11)

Apparently you fail to understand that some of us are so mentally sophisticated that we read raw HTML and can mentally parse it as such, which is what the parent poster was doing. We do not need fruity web browsers to do it for us. To select the 'HTML formatted drop-down menu' is a waste of time for mental giants such as ourselves. In fact selecting the text formatting insures that our posts can only be viewed by those who are intellectual equals.

I sold all my /. karma on ebay and all the high bidder could pay me with was cheap crack. Makes a change from gutrot, I suppose.

We can all give a great big heaving thanks that according to this news that that insolent K5 site will be back up and you English wankers will leave us gifted people alone. I mean, not only do you use VB, but you readily admit that information and offer it up for public consumption. Sweet Jesus at the laundry mat, what's happened to the world...


Best wishes,

Whenever I look at my fat bank balance, I gives thank that my software is not based on 'free' or 'open' standards which would mean me working for nothing...

I'm sick of being an inadequate reader. While I've tried not to pollute your lovely site too much, I'm ready to go back home to K5.
