Looks like he was serious when he left. Guys you don’t actually have to leave if you are carless

I wonder two things about this place sometimes. First, did anyone notice I left in early 2013. (Probably not because I was just one of the mass exodus from the dawn of Kinja.) Second, would anyone notice if I left now.

I need the occasional dose of pointless car shopping, so there’s that.
Work has been crazy this week, and I haven’t even called on that green E46 BTW. Still at work now...

Who doesn’t need a little unnecessary car shopping in their life?
I stopped posting so much when I started my job, but now that I’ve gotten into a lull, I’m posting a lot more. Oppo and job searching, what I spend about half of my day at work doing.

“Would anyone notice if I left”
This is not a question I feel like contemplating. Abort. Approaching existential crisis in 3... 2...
I would notice the lack of E90 M3's though. And oil posts, which are an always interesting look into a field that I know almost nothing about

I don’t have one either, but then again, I don’t make posts for Oppo - I might when I do have a car to use - grew up with no automotive experience, so I’ll need all the help.

announcing that you’re “leaving” is just a transparent way to get people to beg you to not go.
attention whoring, in other words.

the nature of posting on a site format like this is such that if you aren’t on here all day every day the usernames will mean less and less. Stuff leaves the current viewable page so quickly it’s hard to know where you were unless you are refreshing every 15 minutes every day...

I feel like that’s the case on Facebook... but here, where posts get scrolled off the first page so quickly, it’s kinda hard to tell if someone is ‘missing’ in the first place. At least if someone is following you and looks in their own ‘page’ they would see that you haven’t posted intentionally...

If a frequent poster left without notice someone would point it out, if an occasional poster (1 post every few months) not so much.

It all depends on your exit. He like some others made farewell posts. If you leave without making a show, people will tend to forget.
If you make an exit like this people will notice

It usually happens on Honda or CTR posts. A couple weeks ago, for example, Kat made a post about Hondas, and one Oppo, who I won’t name, made the unfathomably idiotic statement that FWD Hondas are the biggest reason for infighting in the car scene. HondaBro and I both tried to explain why this was a bad take, to no avail. There’s another member who comes on every Honda post and just comments “FWD sucks”. In fact, he commented it on here, but I dismissed it as always. The guy in the first example, I used to have respect for before he made that statement, but the second guy is a dumb troll.

You can’t let that stuff get to you. For every person who says FWD sucks, there’s someone else loving on some hot hatch action. Now, if someone is actually following you around trolling you, then please do us all a favor and email the mods, because that shit hurts us all.

It’s happened a few times with the second guy. I always dismiss him without a reply but he keeps doing it anyway. I’ll start flagging him from now on.
