How new am I relative to your presence on this site?

Just curious...

I think you have been around longer than me.

Trying my hardest to not be new anymore.

Tom McParland > Mattbob

Do you need authorship?

Mattbob > Tom McParland
09/09/2013 at 21:21

no, have it. I just haven't been posting long. A few months.

Mattbob > Tom McParland
09/09/2013 at 21:21

No, I have it. I just have only been posting a few months.

I need authorship.

For some goddamn reason I can't post without "recommendation." I can't post on oppo. I can't...do anything.

I'm new, well not really. I have been lurking for a really long time. Was brought here by the best of oppo posts over at jalop, but as time went on, i found myself coming here first, then jalop. I'm at the point where i enjoy reading here more than there. I will now go to the welcome post you linked and read :)

Tom McParland > Mattbob
09/09/2013 at 21:23

OK in that case welcome! And we all have to start somewhere :)

I am not a mod so I can't give you authorship but posted your stuff to Oppo and hopefully one of the mods will help u out.

Thanks!

Oh really? I thought you were an Admin, though that doesn't mean you're not.

Tom McParland > N51fanatic
09/09/2013 at 21:30

You are in the grey so it looks like you need authorship, if you would like to join the fun.Ask nicely to For Sweden or Porsche 914 as they are mods that are currently hanging out

Tom McParland > Tim (Fractal Footwork)
09/09/2013 at 21:31

Nope not Admin, just someone who likes to foster the good vibes here.

I just added you. Welcome to Oppo!!

$kaycog > Tom McParland
09/09/2013 at 21:31

I got him. :D

N51fanatic > Tom McParland
09/09/2013 at 21:33

and how do i go about asking??

Tom McParland > $kaycog
09/09/2013 at 21:34

I can always count on you $kay to help me out when I make these posts. Though sometimes I feel a little weird doing them because I'm not a mod and I send folks running to all of you.

Tom McParland > $kaycog
09/09/2013 at 21:36

I'm on mobile so I can't link but can u find N52fanatic in this thread?

scoob > Tom McParland
09/09/2013 at 21:36

I'm greyed out on regular Jalop? I used to not be, no clue why.

Tim (Fractal Footwork) > Tom McParland
09/09/2013 at 21:37

Cool Cool Cool.

Here's and oldie.

Kinja'd!!!

Tom McParland > scoob
09/09/2013 at 21:37

You gotta ask the Hardibro about that.

Somethingwittyer likes noisy > N51fanatic
09/09/2013 at 21:38

Go to a post of theirs, ask nicely. Worked with Porsche for me.

I'm new, but I've been on the main site for about two years. You guys are the best! I know it's unrelated to oppo, but how hard is it to get out of the grey on Jalop proper?

Tom McParland > I Do It For Miatas, NC Owner
09/09/2013 at 21:40

You gotta ask the Hardibro and be awesome on the FP

Tom McParland > N51fanatic
09/09/2013 at 21:41

$kay is in this thread somewhere she can help as well.

scoob > Tom McParland
09/09/2013 at 21:42

Only Hardibro? What about Orlove, Torch, etc.

$kaycog > Tom McParland
09/09/2013 at 21:55

I looked twice in that thread, but couldn't find N52fanatic. I did add redblockpowered. I gotta go. Have great rest of evening!

I've been lurking for about a year now. High school gave everyone iPads to take notes/do homework and stuff, but in my boring classes it was for jalopnik and Oppo. I got authorship about a month ago now. I guess I might be categorized as new..

His Stigness > Tom McParland
09/09/2013 at 22:10

Do I still count as a newbie?

N51fanatic > $kaycog
09/09/2013 at 22:25

I can haz authorship too?

PS9 > Tom McParland
09/09/2013 at 22:27

Just so we're clear everyone, the 'New Viper for Every New Opponaut' promotion has been long since cancelled. The quota's been filled. It's not likely to return soon. Or ever.

Sorry about that.

So how would one gain authorship in Oppo? I have many fun stories to tell!

TwoWheelsAmazing > Tom McParland
09/10/2013 at 01:13

New here as well but been on the main site forever. Also how do I get on the oppo map?

I wanna be able to write on here XP
oh well, i'll just stick with the comments until the oppo gods have mercy on me :D

Still a bit of an Oppo noob... Any chance of authorship Automatch??

Tom McParland > INDYDFX- Daily FiSTer
09/10/2013 at 08:26

I'm not a mod so I don't have that POWAAA. But if you look on the Welcome post you can find a link/thread to help. :)

Tom McParland > PetarVN, GLI Guy, now with stupid power
09/10/2013 at 08:29

You are not in the grey so you may have authorship. Try to compose a post and post to "Oppositelock" If you can't check out the Welcome post for a thread/link that will help.

Tom McParland > nsxguy
09/10/2013 at 08:36

Do you actually have an NSX? If so, you can get authorship, if not....well ok since you like NSXs you can have authorship anyway. Unfortunately I am not a mod so I don't have that POWAAA, however if you check out the Welcome post there is a thread/link that can help you.

INDYDFX- Daily FiSTer > Tom McParland
09/10/2013 at 08:46

Ah okay, thanks much for the help... It's hard to get a grip of who's a mod and who isn't :/

Tom McParland > INDYDFX- Daily FiSTer
09/10/2013 at 08:52

Yeah well it's not exactly obvious. And since I do these Welcome posts, I get lumped in with that crew. I'm fairly sure PARTY-VI is and he had a post about an hour ago, you can jump into that thread and ask.

$kaycog > N51fanatic
09/10/2013 at 09:12

Most certainly! I couldn't find you here last night, and I looked twice. If somebody hasn't already authorized you, I just did. Welcome to Oppo!

PetarVN, GLI Guy, now with stupid power > Tom McParland
09/10/2013 at 09:28

Thanks, i'll go do that later today :D
thanks for the help!
