When Oppo looked like this:

I still have it saved as jalopnik.com/oppositelock on my laptop and phone. I refuse to do otherwise.

When did it get changed? I honestly think I was absent for that.

Like three or four years ago, maybe. If you type it in, you’ll be redirected to current Oppo.
Speaking of that, I still have some screenshots of funny posts and comments from back in the day. I also have stuff from people who aren’t really around anymore Shant, Xander, Brt, and many more.

Ha! I’ve still got some screen shots as well. I had forgotten about some of those people. I know a lot of people left, myself included, when kinja was first rolled out.

I’ve been reading Oppo since late 2010/early 2011. I have a lot of Oppo stuff on my old laptop.

I forget when I first started on oppo, but I was definitely around during that time. Used to go by “e30m3" then.

I remember you. I remember almost all of you. I’ve been around for a lot longer than most of you think. It’s actually my official three year Oppoversary this month.

Seems you didn’t comment back then. There’s always someone I forget about, and then look at something and am like huh didn’t realize they’ve been around that long.

I honestly posted and commented from time to time until about a year ago. I’ve posted a lot since March. I never actually joined Oppo until September 2014 because I honestly wanted to, but had no idea how to.

I remember that Jalopnik logo but that layout was before my time here.

It happened after a plagerized post was put on O-Deck and then picked up by the io9 FP. Doing a little googling it looks like May 2015.

This is the earliest bookmarked Jalopnik link I have that I probably came across when it was first posted.
EDIT: Looking at the wayback machine, it seems I first came across Jalopnik in mid-2011 or so, and I’d guess Oppo a year or so after that.

I think I heard about that at some point, makes sense.

I’m not sure how it worked in the infancy of kinja, but I know back in the days of 5.0 you could make a comment and as long as someone with a star approved it, you could make comments and posts on oppo. Back then they weren’t separate blogs, so if you could post on oppo you could post on the FP, and vice versa. When I came back, I still had posting powers.
