I've talked about JDM cars in my recent posts and comments and it got me to thinking...

...has anybody seen Flavien around lately? How’s he doing? Haven’t seen him post or comment for awhile and he hasn’t seemed to be uploading videos to his Youtube channel as often either. Assuming just a busy life, but I miss seeing him and his content around these parts! :)

Now that you mention it, no. Traffic seems to be a little light here in general lately.

Kinja has been super buggy since the last takeover, so I think people are staying away. Has crashed Chrome on me several times so I check oppo on firefox now.

I’ve encountered glitches off and on as well. But for better or worse, we’re stuck with it. A move would decimate the attendance much more.

I think he's been doing great. I believe he visitied the US not too long ago.

I hope so! I enjoy his videos and posts! He’s a nice guy!

I’ve noticed that too the last few days...then again, school starts up soon and many of us have kids and the summer is ending, so I figured everybody is just being busy with life stuff. :)

Did you try clearing the cookies for Kinja on Chrome?

Yup...I still think we need an official ‘backup place’ if Oppo were to ever go down...

The Minica post had me wondering about him too.

Someone made a post a month back about off the beaten path things to do in Japan, and he chimed in.

Maybe I should just move to Japan, join him and become an exporter of kei cars to Oppo....I’ll get rich, right? RIGHT?

I think if Oppo were to disappear, it would be along with all of Kinja being discontinued, and there would be an announcement. Then we would become truly independent and have to find a hosting service.

Yeah, I suppose that could be it. I hope that’s it.

Sounds not far off my current thought process. I don’t even need to be rich, I just want reasonable healthcare.

Same! I love this place...my favorite place I’ve found online...would be sad to see it disappear!

It’a my main source of social interaction.

He’s been quiet for a couple weeks : https://kinja.com/flyingfrenchy/discussions

Seeems like he’s just been busy for the past year or so so hasn’t been on as much.

Understandable. Glad to hear he’s doing well, just wondered where he was! :)

Haha, same...and Discord to chat with my friends who mostly live an hour from me! :/

I bought one from him. Maybe I’d buy one from you. You may need to find your own interesting car culture isle and to export from.

I check in on Oppo in Facebook every once in a while. It’s ok. Different, but ok.

Well, that settles it then, I’ll move to Poland and start exporting Eastern Bloc stuff :P

Maybe I’m alone in this, but I’m top of all the other knocks against Facebook, I just think it has an unforgivably clunky UI design.

That would work. I want a MIL-24.

That might be a bit more complicated to deal with than a FIAT 126p...
