I was a hold out on smartphones for a while and I used to print out k5 articles to read while afk... Just such an amazing collection of people sharing ideas and communal moderation, editing and up voting.
I learned about so many wierd and wonderful things from that site.
The candle that burned twice as bright was really adequacy.org, which sourced their trolls from Kuro5hin.
