so would Oppo be interested in a Sports car/Exotic sub blog or perhaps another sub blog?

Just wondering what Oppo's interest would be, seems a lot of people love the super sports cars and hyper cars *defined as anything with 2 seats and over a 185mph top speed*

i was thinking maybe a Ford Gt blog dedicated to any and all news Ford GT or perhaps a super sports car sub blog for anything bout the exotics. What do you guys think? we have a Military tech blog and a truck blog and a motorcycle blog, sports cars aren't covered.

If you guys like i would have no problem admining something like that :)

Whats your opinion?

JDM subblog would be relevant to my interests.

How about a sub blog dedicated to the advanced engineering that allows sports cars their performance? i'm interested in a sub blog that looks at things like how cars are engineered for reliability as an example

i would love to do one, but im honestly a noob with JDM.

I don't see a reason why you can't just post the Ford GT love on here!

i could possibly look into that as a side tangent to the sports cars - with their high speeds reliability is more of a issue. Sounds good!

not that i cant, but there are enough fans that a blog dedicated to Ford GT 's (old and new) could be popular..

I understand that but, I think this would really open up the doors for more sub blogs and that might detract from Oppo a bit. We're all here for the love of cars and I think everyone likes seeing a GT40 on their feed.

You know I'd go for it, but I really don't think there are that many with a great interest.

You'd still see the headlines here - this blog wouldn't be a attempt to detract, more like a holding area for all the articles so people can find them without having to search hundreds of random threads. Keep in mind, anything from a sub blog can be shared here and would be - but it would be nice to be able to find all headlines about sports cars without having to wade through NSFW and QOTD and reviews and everything else all at once.

in ford Gt's i dont know - seems all the fans come out the woodwork each time there is a article or picture. however maybe just the super fast sports cars would appeal to more?

Mr. FiSTer of Team FiST Fetish > mr_gofast
07/29/2014 at 11:02

I'm definitely not against the idea but I think if people us the tags at the top correctly we could negate the need for some sub blogs. And wouldn't sharing every post from a sub blog be kind of a pain in the ass?

Don't get me wrong, I like hyper cars, super sports cars and Ford GT's but I don't see why everything has to have a dedicated sub blog. Is there a reason this Ford-GT.kinja.com content wouldn't be suitable for Oppo?

not every post...just once a week something new or different. Like Demuros blog or the blog with Tom and Tavarish

mr_gofast > KnowsAboutCars

not that its not suitable...far from it..just think of the blog as a dedicated place with all the articles in it, just makes it easier to navigate. Ford GT may have been too specific but a blog that covers all the sports cars would be handy, seeing as Planes, military tech and bikes and truck already have their own..

I'd say you should start it out as a series on Oppo with regularly scheduled posts and a tag so users can find everything relevant quickly. If you find you get a good following and a steady stream of content, branch off.

KnowsAboutCars > mr_gofast

I think tags work just as good to ease navigating. Maybe there should be a little remainder to use them more actively. Wide array of different sub blogs might work for Jalopnik as they try to get more page views but I don't see the need for car related Oppo sub blogs.

I know what you mean, but I don't know if a sub blog would go over or not.

I'd like to do it. We could run it together, one in Japan and one in the US. Should it be started?

I feel like you're trying to tell me something...as to what I don't know....

This is probably the best way to go. Some of the sub blogs don't have much to though, all it is is a gathering of similiar-content.
