Brian Silvestro is on Road & Track. Steve Lehto is on Road & Track. Mate Petrany is on Road & Track. Chris Perkins is on Road & Track. Kristen Lee still works at Road & Track. Heck, even Flavien Vidal contributed at Road & Track.

So there’s only one place to go, really. It’s so obvious I’m ashamed at those who never thought of it. We have a refuge.

And that place...

is Flickr.

Talk about curveballs.

See, Flickr has Groups, and I reckon we can simply set up shop there no problem. It has notes, so that’s one thing taken care of.

Even Oppositelock owner Porsche9146 writes for Road&Track. Not sure if he wants us to follow.

That’s why we’re gonna use Flickr.

If we follow Silvestro, we’ll end up in ice barriers.

There’s already a group called ‘Oppotographers’. Not sure who runs it though.

I've been going to road & track more and more lately. If the bulk of writers end up there, odds are I will to.

Invite only unfortunately.

I’d be up for a Flickr group though. I’ve already got an account and so do a good amount of Oppos so that makes the transition less painful.

I would be up for a Flickr group as a backup in case Oppo randomly vanishes. It even has discussions so we could keep the train going.

I’m sure a lot of Oppos have a Flickr account already based on the amount of photos that get posted for cars and coffee.

If road and track set up OPPO without the Kinja bullshit it would dominate

That’s why I’m not at R&T. Also because my writing is terrible and I have a real job.

No to flickr. Their system is worse than Kinja.

I began writing for them several months ago.

I LOVE Road and Track now. It truly is like what Jalopnik should be I feel like. With in depth articles when you want them and enough random content that make revisits worthwhile. A little more content on a second page and it'd be a top replacement for Jalopnik... But maybe the end of the Gawker era will finally let Jalopnik become what it was.

Stef Schrader > Wheelerguy

What happened to the Oppo I used to know? Where’s the spirit? Where’s the guts?!

We’re not going anywhere just yet.

What misses is the commenting shitshow of Kinja though :)

Stef Schrader > scoob
08/09/2016 at 23:46

I think this situation calls for a futile and stupid gesutre be done on somebody’s part, and we’re just the off-topic forum to do it.

What we need is Road & Track, but Kinja.

Wait.

Hang on.

Who forgot to run this shit ?

I agree wholeheartedly. Half my time is typically spent reading the comments.

WE’RE GONNA DOMINATE!

Stef Schrader > scoob
08/10/2016 at 21:33

Look. Some of us front-page-types came out of OppositeLock. That means we’ve got BALLS OF STEEL. My balls are SOOOOO BIG, they don’t even fit in my Porsche. They have their own gravitational pull! There’s a thread about them on FinalGear! They’re so big and shiny and round that I can’t even think of words large enough to describe them.

AND THESE BALLS DON’T RUN.

No matter what happens after this week, unless I die of heat and exhaustion in the desert next week, I will be talking crap on the Internet . It’s what I do. It’s what we all do.

Somewhere!

...

Probably here!!!

Now get out there, Oppo, and troll harder!

With a VENGEANCE!
