I wonder when will GMG beat the number of owners of that “gently used” $800 Miata.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Should we activate the Oppo emergency evacuation protocols yet?

As much traffic as oppo brings in, I hope we’re going to be alright. I really only see an issue if they start breaking everything up and putting an end to Kinja.

I don’t think they even notice us here in the basement.

My login has not been carrying over to the other blogs for a while now. I’m logged in here, but when I go the FP, I have to sign in again to comment. As of yesterday, it won’t even accept my login from my phone at least.

Yup, they will extract all equity from GMG and toss the carcass onto the bankruptcy court. Expect all non revenue generating sites to be axed.

it’s funny how we all rip on kinja then if it came down to what you said everyone will be begging them to let it stay or just migrate to reddit or slack or whatever it is the kids are using these days

What is our evacuation protocol anyways? The consensus has always been that Jalopnik we would fall under the jalopnik off topic umbrella but in a “hypothetical” situation has there been discussion about what would happen?

RIP Gizmodo 20xx-2019. Private equity means liquidate all assets and then file for bankruptcy .

If we do loose oppo on Kinja, probably going to call it quits. Not interested in another format such as Reddit or Facebook.

I approve of this. I’m guessing he has a stash of “ mad- max ready” tercels for us to drive in the post Oppo society, along with stacks of printed-on-paper archives of all of Oppo for the past 10 years.

Pictured: What’s basically going to happen to everybody working here.

On the plus side, those that worked on the GMG Youtubes can boast on their resume that they made videos with that Big Univision Budget that got tens or in some cases hundreds of views.

I have seen many different trainwreck CMSes out there in media, and to be honest, Kinja’s underrated as hell.

I haven’t been able to login on my phone for ages. I don’t know what’s up with that. Maybe ask the tech guys about the login not carrying over from site to site, though? They’re generally pretty responsive.

That’s a good idea. I’ve been treating it like people abuse an old beater. Ignore everything until it stops running.

At first I thought I might have been kicked off the takeout for getting into heated discussion over the constitutionality of banning chick fil a from government properties.

I’d imagine m ove to the Facebook site, which often has worse members (it’s fun watching someone have a meltdown) and where Facebook is a terrible format for a car forum.

It is kinda salty, but then you don’t need the sauces.  I’m big on the spicy chicken sandwich.
