Kinja seems to be pretty buggy lately. There was a question about whether we had an email list in case there needed to be an exodus. The Wordpress stands mostly ready if it’s needed, though I’ve also started to look into Medium.

If you’re interested in receiving alerts or instructions post-Kinja explosion, sign up below. I’ll move this post around a few times so most people see it.

You’re definitely not going to give this email address away right?

Wasn’t there some Plan B alternative community created during the big Oppo-panic of November 2019, when the Deadspin staff got screwed or something like that ? I distinctly remember posting something along the lines of “this will blow over and you’ll feel silly for making such a big deal out of it ”.

There is some Discord server and this nicely abandoned website: https://oppositelock.com/

Where you can also sign up for an email list ;-).

Yes, there was development work done to provide a backup in case we needed it (I did that development).

Yeah, the Discord server is still alive and well :)

Only to reputable pornography sites. :) Kidding of course.

We have had many a scare over the years, redesigns etc... too many to list! At one point years ago I would go to the Canadian site because they were experimenting with a new design with only the US site I believe.

It sucks all this has gone this way, years ago it was nice that we were in effect part of Jalopnik. I guess can’t stand most of the comments on the FP anyway these days, I regret it every time. I just read what I want and try to not get involved.

Good, because I just entrusted my secret identity to you.

There’s been so many scares and attempts to break off over the years that...sigh. I’m tired, TBH.

Seems preemptive, even thought the herb still deserves a swift kick in the dangles. If poop actually happens, y’all know where to find me.

(Not that I don’t trust y’all, but yeah. Added anyway.)

Exactly, more times that Ferrari have threatened to leave F1 and start their own series.

Reputable porn sites? Man you’re no fun.

I’m actually going to continue on the Medium path to see where it might go. It might be more along the lines of taking Oppo next-level though. I’d love to see an Oppo with some editorial standards (like an early Jalopnik).

We have a Canadian site?

Maybe not now, Jalopnik had addresses in other countries I believe but it came to the same place. I’m not exactly sure how it worked but there was a Canadian address you could use to get an old version while they were fucking around with ours. They loved to mess with the site design and it was all blamed on Nibbles the hamster, the old way of saying kinja’d.

I do like seeing the blog-style content, but y ou also need some room to shitpost, IMHO . That’s what makes Oppo Oppo, heh.

That fat bastard is probably in there somewhere munching away.

I’ll be sure to give Nibbles a belly rub. He’s our mascot, even though he sucks.
