This was it. This was my first ever post on Oppo, and it was barely a post at that. Kinda set the stage for the next eight years of borderline shitposts, didn’t it?
I’m not too good with the emotions, or the words, or the emotional words. This is all probably gonna come out super clunky and you’re just going to have to bear with me.
Oppo was one of the first communities I ever felt I belonged to. You guys didn’t just help me develop as an enthusiast but as a person in general. There’s not many places on the internet where you can express an opinion and not have a single person (sincerely) tell you that you are wrong or dumb for having it. Oppo is one of the good places. It’s the kind of community my withdrawn and social-anxiety-ridden ass needed, and has remained my comfortable cozy home on the internet for a HUGE part of my life. In fact, Oppo is my home page. That’s the highest possible honor for a website.
I’ve got lots of great memories, too many to count in fact. By my estimate I’ve made nearly 3,5 00 posts (a backup Akio made for me a year ago had about 2,500 but only goes back to 2015 ) and who knows how many comments. I’ve had work promoted to the Jalopnik FP (back when that was a thing). I’ve participated in multiple OppoMeets and two OppoRallies. I remember jelopnic and SR20. I’ve witnessed the rise and fall of several different dynasties at Jalopnik, and seen so, so many people come and go from our little corner of the web. It’s always remained the same though, and I hope it continues to do so wherever we end up.

Don’t sell yourself short. They weren’t borderline. They were full-on shitposts.

Holy shit, I never realized you’ve been here exactly 3 days longer than I have. 8 years, hundreds of members come and gone, and we’re both still here 3 days apart.

I remember Nibby and I earned stars a day apart. He got his on Aug 3, 2011 and I got mine on Aug 4, 2011.

That was just my first post, I was a commenter for a year or so before. I used a different name back then though.
