I've known a lot of people on the internet

Some days, I wonder where some of them are now that we don’t talk. Here’s a reminder that even as a few lines of text on the internet (or as a garbled voice through an Xbox mike), you still leave a lasting impact on people. So try to be excellent to each other.

I haven’t.

I also thought about Cherryman today. He was a good dude. I miss him and his Gran Torino.

I was wondering about Yamahog and a couple others.

The ones that come to mind for me are Kate’s Dirty Sister , Slid Pissed, and 87CE

I used to frequent a Honda Forum Called d -series.org. Sometimes I think about how weird it is that I haven’t been on there in years. It got slower, and I didn’t have a d-series Honda anymore so I stopped checking in. Jalopnik, and then thankfully Oppo filled the viod.

Pretty sure KDS got banned hard and became MOE , no clue about the other two.

I was thinking of joining some Fiesta ST forums, but they seem pretty dead now. That’s the issue with vehicle or game specific forums.

I thought KDS became margin of error?

I think all the FP-style posting (meaning, perlatiks, your car sucks, crash videos) are kind of a drag on here... Usually the spawn of most of the spats that result in people disappearing. Even when someone posts something totally abhorrent — or just something I don’t agree with — I don’t go headhunting... An e xample of an internet impact : CrazedClay was one of the nicest folks to me when I started posting here, and I’ll be he doesn’t even remember me.

CB > Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo
10/15/2018 at 23:29

He might!

Granted, it’s been... three years since he got turbobanned?

Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo > CB
10/15/2018 at 23:31

And some of the people on the other end of that happenstance are also not here anymore.

Yup. Funny how things can go like that. Meanwhile, people like us are going “hey, this house/car is cool/dumb!”

Granted, I used to get involved in the shit-stirring. Now... eh, it’s not worth it.

Seat Safety Switch was a treasure.

What happened to the person? Anyone knows?

Haven’t a clue. Hope they’re well.

10/15/2018 at 23:37

Yeah, me too ... I think one of their articles was cross posted on FP and that’s how I knew that Oppo existed.

That’s the beautiful thing about Oppo. We all get along doesn’t matter what you drive.

10/15/2018 at 23:41

Ehhhhh that’s not even a little true. But usually the feuds only last between two people at a time, and then someone gets permabanned.

Okay, most of try to get along with everyone else. I know I’ve said my fair share of stuff that could offend some one tho.

The facebook side of Oppo, & Oppo-sub groups is great to keep up with people who rar ly come here anymore, or don’t.

Speaking of people that have not been here in a while has anyone talked to JKM?

I believe that post is directed at one, maybe two people. Like I said, those are dark roads I try not to go down

oppotalk? yeah. every so often i would give it a try only to remember why i left the last time.

Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo > The Crazy Kanuck; RIP Oppositelock
10/16/2018 at 00:44

He got banned (I missed all that, probably PERLATIKS) , unbanned in August, then left right after.

I'm "in" Oppotalk but don't follow the group do it does not appear in my feed. The main off shoot of Oppotalk that glorifies the manual is still good.

CB > CarsofFortLangley - Oppo Forever
10/16/2018 at 00:48

Funny enough, Oppo is still here!

Didn’t yamahog say he was taking a break for a while? I could be wrong though. Let me check.

He was also one of the mods on oppotalk, then would delete any comments he didn’t like. So was demoded. not banned, just demoded and went out in similar fashion.
