I finally made it out of the greys on the main page haha! IIRC I also got ungreyed on Oppo about a year ago. Not bad

I’m in the grey on some of the sub blogs (FA, the Garage, etc) but on Jalopnik I’m not grey :P I did start out commenting on the front page before I discovered OPPO though.

I’m grey on most Jalopnik and Oppo affiliated sites.

ugh not more “the site’s shutting down” crap.

Congrats on getting out of the greys though, it’s hysterical that i’m stuck in the grey on some of the main sub blogs. I’ve been on here long enough I was approved in some of the oldest systems

I am sort of amused as to how everyone thinks this buyout is going to result in Oppo being shut down. More than likely they won’t change too much, and we will continue to exist more or less as usual.

nah it’s ok i just looked at the FP for the first time today and saw your concerns are actually legitimate this time.

I don’t really know what to believe or think, maybe I’m just afraid of more or less radical changes.

To be really honest I couldn’t really care less about Jalopnik, I’m worried about Oppo. I’ve been a reader of Jalopnik since late 2013 and the quality declined. Still like Jalopnik more than the other car cancer sites.

So here is my take on this. Ziff Davis mentioned buying 7 titles. They only referred to Gizmodo, Lifehacker, Kotaku , Jalopnik, Deadspin and Jezebel. So the thought is Oppositelock will somehow remain intact ? I’m not so sure about that.

Yeah I definitely care a million times more about OPPO

I just hope that Oppo will somehow remain under the radar being a part of Jalopnik but let’s wait and see what exactly will happen.

I never though I would say this but I couldn’t really imagine Oppo on something different than Kinja. There certainly are options out there but those are meh for me.

People give Kinja a lot of crap but frankly it’s not that bad.

You somehow get used to it and its flaws. It has worked well for me on a mobile device so far.

I rarely use mobile and i have ad blocker on my browser so it’s pretty smooth most of the time.

I have my fingers crossed, pulled out the rabbits foot (not lucky for the rabbit) and I’ll go digging in the yard after work for a 4 leaf clover.

The one big flaw about Kinja mobile is that editing your posts is a pain in the ass. That’s why I haven’t made a Oppositelock review yet.

I fully anticipate the community-run blogs will get axed.

Don’t give anybody any ideas. I hope we are saved by some miracle. If it does happen that we get killed off, will Oppositelock decals be a collectible?

Get them while we can?

Excuse me sir, Oppositelock is now trademarked property of [insert conglomerate here]. Even though it is not an active site that can not be accessed by plebeians such as yourself, you may not sell items that prominently display our trademarked logos.
