So how old is Oppostielock exactly and when is the birthday? And if this sounds like a rookie question it is because it kinda is. I've only here like 4 months.

IIRC, Oppo became sentient around the time of Jalopnik 5.0 (or 5.NO, depending on who you ask) back in early 2011.

What ever happened to RideApart?

Oppo replaced OffTopic.

That's what I'm saying, when did offtopic first exist?

I don't remember Oppo from that time period. Weirdly I can't even remember what was here before Kinja.

I do remember lots of white and blue though.

Also, maybe someone can correct me, but I think OffTopic started as a place for editors to banish comments that were, you know, off topic. The page then became kind of a hangout like Oppo is today. I think that happened organically, though. I don't think that was Ray's original intent.

I dunno ... it was definitely during the Ray Wert administration.

You can't remember it because it was too good to be true. Images loaded, pages were formatted correctly, fonts were even. Ah, the good old days.

Really? I thought Oppo was earlier than that. Only because I was posting here before graduation from college, which was in 2010. And I was definitely not high enough to be part of the editing squad or whatever.

I gotta say that I miss nibbles...
