I think I should modify the team name to be something like, “Oppositelock on Kinja” because, well, reasons. What do you all think?

I don’t see much need to. I’m Oppo, you’re Oppo, we are all Oppo.

I don’t there’s much benefit to adding Kinja to our team name but you could add our URL to the homepage section?

Kinja'd!!!

I'd second Pyroholtz's idea. I don't see a need to change the name, but I see no harm in adding the URL if folks are so inclined.

Unless Gawker Gizmodo Media G/O Media is paying us, I say no.

This is the equivalent of dealers putting their stickers/plate frames on our cars. I take it off as soon as I get home.

I’ll third PyroHoltz idea. Leave the name but add the URL.

Why did you want to change the name?

I don’t think it would make much difference to G/O Media’s feelings about the community blogs (I doubt they’d even see it).

Adding the URL doesn’t hurt though.

As an aside, apparently G/O Media has given up on those terrible text ads for now?

Look at those points: over 4.5 million in 48 hours or less.

I like the name fine just as is. I was hearkening back to when they threatened to pull the plug on us and then reconsidered. Politics...

I have no reference, seems like the team’s killing it!

You know, Oppo is pretty much the only social media thing I participate in. I’m on Facebook for a few seconds a week just because I have a bunch of family there. I pretty much avoid the Front Page and it’s only Oppo.

Very cool! We’ve pulled down almost 5 million points as a team in less than 48 hours.

Kinja'd!!!

I’d say we are doing very respectably. 8242 out of 250226 teams after only 48 hours and we’re still picking up steam. We’ll probably be at 6 million points by suppertime. If we can crack a billion points, we’ll have a shot at being in the top 100 teams out of a quarter million teams. I think that’s pretty good.

G/O Media has given up on those terrible text ads for now?

I hadn’t noticed. But they did really screw up the already-terrible load time for the pates.

If we rename the team, I say we rename it to “The Meat Eating Oppo Fellatio Monkey PlayLBGTQ+ Homies”

WHO’S WITH ME??

If I set it to idle, does it run when the computer “sleeps”?

Just temporarily added 2 more slightly modern laptops so in a day I'll be screaming to not last lol

Well I’m running a laptop and a desktop with a discrete NVidia GPU that gets more credits than the other two CPUS combined... once it finally completes a job.

When you add a system, how long do you find it takes for it to ‘show up’ in the stats?
My stats are showing only 1 WU even though I actually should have at least 2 going.

After a WU is complete I guess. Maybe I should rename one of my laptops to make it in last place lol

I just did the same thing, but with a homemade Oppo logo. I was waiting for it to update. How were you able to do that? I thought there was a password.

Sorry to blow up your changes, just figured I’d be proactive....you had the team password listed on your first f@h oppo post.

Feel free to change it back, I’ll stay out of it from now on Rusty. :-/

Well, yesterday on the family Zoom Easter Sunday meeting, my second daughter, who marches to her own drummer, referred to Oppo as a straight man’s bromantic dating site. I said that was a cute description, but not inclusive enough. Please note the Oppo logo on the team Lambo. Also, have you joined the team yet?
