But I am. This place has meant so much to me for so long, I haven’t posted a ton but I guaran-fucking-tee that I’ve refreshed oppo at least 50 times a day, every single day for at least the last three years. Especially now, when so much of the internet is so fucking toxic, I’ve been able to just avoid the political stuff and take shelter here. I certainly don’t always agree with everybody here but the ability to find common ground and shared interests here is something we sorely need, at least those of us in the US. So I’ll be keeping tabs on the various life rafts to see where we end up and I still hope to meet many of you in person someday, but in the meantime, thank you. This has been my only form of social media for at least five years, and I really do feel like I know a lot of you even if I’m not necessarily super memorable on here, and that’s meant a lot and I wish you all the best that 2020 has left to offer.

It sure was nice during the lockdown, I’ve been coming here a long ass time, always nice to be able to pop in like a pub.

Amen friend, well put...thanks for being part of this community and I look forward to seeing you on one of the ‘life rafts’ until we can get a new home sorted out!

Well just pass it along to goodwill or something then :) we ended up with doubles of some stuff too, some albums both of our parents had in their collections so we just kept one. The genesis was all my dad though, and he had like 15 albums....

Will do!
I have to go through my own and cull the doubles or even triples. I have my dad's collection, my uncle's collection, and my dad's best friend's collection.

I look forward to seeing you on the life rafts. I have to think that something as special as Oppo will find a new home together. This place literally changed my life. Seeing how being excellent to each other could actually work, and the community it fosters, led me to making that my guiding principle in life. My life has changed so much for the better once trying (if not always succeeding) to be excellent to folks.

Yeah I'm certainly not always successful either, but this is really a special place and I do hope we find a new home unbeholden to any corporate interests.
