Not sure what you mean, it still looks the same. No pictures work.

Are you old enough to remember when Jalopnik worked all day err day?

Trick question, nobody is.

Hearts? Dude, I remember being pissed when they were going away from having starred commenters! NPOCP, PCH (Gawd, I miss Murilee sometimes!).

But yeah, the usability of the olde Jalopnik site is hard to beat.

That layout was the best. It presented the news better, and it was nice too look at. Or maybe I am biased, because this layout was my first with Kotaku and Jalopnik.

Or comments, page elements, commenting, strikethroughs and text formatting without buttons (remember when HTML formatting worked? I do).

Yes I remember that design, but I prefer the current design, when it works. I'd like the heart system back though.

It used to be more reliable, and less designed-looking-like-dogshit

I think I first found Jalopnik when it looked like that.

Every time I see your pic, I sob a little at my lost star. Brilliant move.

Actually, the "follow" feature should hopefully have some of that functionality going forward.

I'm not complaining, as long as there are no issues with Kinja. I just thought the old heart system had more, I don't know, charm?

The star gave me a +50 bonus to my snark and trolling abilities, now you know why it stays.

The central idea that the world you see should be based somewhat on the community you want and people you like is a key tenant of future commenting changes.

It definitely had its moments, but for the most part, it was far less rage inducing than the current regime.

Though I do recall being quite entertained by a mad Italian who couldn't seem to get ANYTHING to work...

I think they can still very much nuke your account, it just takes a hell of a lot more to get there.

So what I'm saying is, expect me to be banned in +/- 6 weeks

Nah, I don't think so. I think I've had breakdowns snarkier than that. When I took a break from Oppo about 1.5 years ago, I thought everyone would be like "ZadTheInhaler? hoodaphuq is that?", but everything seemed cool.

Take your meds, and everything will be fine. :-P

Well either he's started on his medication regime, or I'm never around when he goes postal...

Dude, you're making me feel old - I was browsing Jalopnik before oppo came along.

Man, nostalgia points through the roof!

So many names I haven't seen in ages...

Which reminds me, I haven't been to Hooniverse for a while...

Hardibro gave me a star two days before switching to Kinja... best troll ever.

I don't remember what Gene Wilder image I had with a star! And at one point I had a gif!

But thanks haha

haha, i didnt even know oppo existed for about a year after reading jalopnik. And its funny i found jalopnik on accident via kotaku, and then found oppo by clicking peoples links in the comments.

I never got to get my star. :( I'm sure at this point I would have, but I never got the thrill of having it actually happen...

I could've sworn you had a star before! Then again, I used to see comments from people that were more than star-worthy that got passed over, so I shouldn't be too surprised.
