Now Here Is A Question About "Discontinuing Kinja User Pages" That I Don't Think Anyone Has Asked Yet.

I post everything on Oppositelock.

Everything before 2013* was posted on McMike.

What exactly are they deleting?

Some of you post to both, some just throw it in here. Exactly what is going away? All the posts and images from YOUR blog, or ALL of your posts/Images?

I had 2-3 posts that I posted to McMike that I wanted to keep, so I moved them to Oppositelock. They are quite old, so they were just moved, keeping the same publish date.

*because I think that was the only option. You tagged your post with #oppositelock to get it to show up in oppo. Once you got your own blog as an option, you had to select oppositelock, which is what I chose from then on out.

Even if they don’t delete Oppo itself, it sounds like our user accounts that we post from are going to get deleted. I think?

They said “pages” and not “accounts,” which made me ask the question.

Is Oppo a user page.

Ohh good point. I thought those were essentially the same thing, but they’re also saying comments on their websites won’t be affected. But I don’t know if that means we’ll still have accounts we can comment from, or just that the comments left up until Kinjapocalypse won’t be deleted. But Oppo definitely isn’t a G/O Media website, which implies that comments here at the very least will be nuked.

My read on their message, along the lines of Archduke’s post, is that only your personal blogs are going away right now. That would only jeopardize your earlier content that wasn’t posted directly to Oppo. I read that as not currently affecting anything posted directly to Oppo, but I think everyone see s the writing on the wall for Oppo and the other blogs themselves.

No.

I read it as they are deleting your personal Kinja page which I have never used. Oppo is not your personal Kinj a page. Everyone is freaking for no reason it seems to me.

I read it as they are deleting your personal Kinja page which I have never used. It doesn’t say they are deleting your account.

Oppo is not your personal Kinja page. Everyone is freaking for no reason, it seems to me.

... comments on their websites won’t be affected

That’s good, because there is a barely read 2012 Jezebel article that I have been uploading photos to for years.

So..... if there are any posts people want to save from personal blog, they need to...

Move them to Oppo (keeps the same publish date)

Tag with with your user name so you can categorize them.
