Most !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! have been dead in the water for quite a while, wile some still straggle on. I think I know the reason for this, but it's just an observation of my personal experience.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I dropped !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (at least for a while until I can figure out how to make you vote correctly), but I have managed to keep !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! viable ( !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! before the name change).

Other notable Opposodes That I didn't want to see go include !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , wile others like !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! still manage to keep on.

The reason for the abandonment, as I perceive it, is that these Opposodes become a chore to write, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , but even then. The Opposite Locker has become a chore, so I stopped; I wasn't enjoying it anymore, and the votes and discussion wasn't turning out how I'd hoped.

I manage to keep interested in Technically Formula 1 because I really like looking at the technical innovations of Formula 1 cars anyways, and there are only about 20 races a year so I'm not writing one every week like its an endless assignment.

Is there any other way to cope, besides getting paid (cause we all know that's not going to happen any time soon...)?

Thoughts?

I can assure you that even the Best of Oppo can be a chore.

As for ways to cope, if you don't enjoy doing writing a feature anymore, don't write it anymore. Simple as that. Everyone is here to enjoy themselves, don't force yourself to do something you don't like, especially in a place that's meant to be fun.

Admittedly, I was slightly bummed at how little discussion LNO Theater churned up, but it mostly went under because I got unexpectedly busy and had some big life decisions over the past 4 months. Maybe around 35-65 in terms of reasons it went away. I now have plans to bring it back in the near future. I am planning on maybe doing the Top Gear route. That is to say, instead of trying to bring a feature once or twice a week, I'm thinking of bringing series of 6-8 shows 2-3 times a year. As you can surely tell, I've put a lot of thought into the whole thing to really nail down the way I want to do it...

It is coming back, though; you can take that to the bank.
