And G/O is shutting down the masses (which give them money... hmmm).
COINCIDENCE?!?!
Ah well. It’s been a good run I suppose. Jalopnik/Oppo/LaLD have been my favorite places on the interwebz for over a decade. Guess I’ll see everyone on Drive Tribe/The Drive/R&T/Petrolicious/etc. At least we know the Jalopnik writers will end up there one day anyways.
Have some forced induction for likely my final Oppo post.
To Kinja, who has been a fucking pain for like 7 years now, but has at least kept our community together.
To all the opponauts who’ve been awesome and taught me a thing or two.
Bye everyone.

Is that David Banner walking away? Because that would be cool irony.

Don't forget The Cigar Lounge

I’m sad to say I just learned about the cigar lounge... I haven’t come to Oppo a lot over the last 5 or so years. There were so many good sub blogs on kinja...

Lol yes it is.
As always, the leadership feared the beast instead of learning to love and use it.

All true and a good metaphor. I was just thinking back to the previous ownership change that could arguably be said to have started us down the path to this point.
Game, set, match, Mr. Hogan.

That’s fair too. Although I do have to say if I was Mr. Hogan I would have probably done the same. That was fucked up by Gawker... but it didn’t need to end this way after the lawsuit, Univision should have saved it all . :(

Congrats!! Nice to find a replacement for FTA as well. They’ve taken a big hit over the last year too...

Oh yeah, I can’t really say Denton and Gawker didn’t deserve what they got.
Univision was supposed to save it, but I guess they didn’t know what to do with it.
