How about just don’t? You won’t be changing anything besides diminishing the quality of your digital life and you’re already part of the best Goddamn community on the entire Interwebs.

Brian,

No.

P.S. The assassination of the Rat King must be stopped.

However, if you’re a MOE, please feel free to leave.

And Oppo has already been distanced from the Gawkerverse anyway

I agree with you, but just in case people decide otherwise, I've created http://oppo.boards.net

Yes! We should all do so to show our Opposolidarity!

But, you know, counter-clockwise of course.

I keep seeing posts about this and why do people care so badly? It’s not like Oppo was wronged in any way, Gawker fucked up their own shit but it didn’t touch us. If people are trying to boycott this site install and ad blocker, they don’t get money for clicks on Oppo and the clicks on Jalopnik go to the author. I really don’t get why there’s such a huge fuss, until they wrong our community directly this shouldn’t be a thing, but let people come and go at their own will. It doesn’t affect your or me directly, and it’s their lives not ours.

I’ll be here until I’m kicked out or make such an ass of myself I’m too embarrassed to return.

I like y’all. You unknowingly helped me through some tough times. Wouldn't throw that away just because of some other assholes.

To be fair, I’ve made quite an ass out of myself over the years ... somehow we recover ;)

I’ll always love OPPO.

how about a group hug? No? Ok.

I guess I missed the ruckus, but if we hung through the Jezebel/Greying debacle, we can make it through anything.

That’s kind of the conclusion I came to. My daily enjoyment of the Oppo community > my negative feelings for the Mothership and the impact of my leaving on it.

Well said. Also, and I don’t know why, but when I read this: “ best Goddamn community on the entire Interwebs” I did a MAD Magazine fold-in and read this: “ Goddamn Interwebs”.

I’d rather do the golf swing. It’s much more challenging.

I’d prefer to see Jalopnik and Oppo break off from Gawker. Either way.. I’ll be hanging around.

Something/one you love will always eventually do, or be associated with, something you hate. Just look at the B9 Tribeca. Sometimes it’s better to just move on.

Now about the logistics of getting a significant number of people on OPPO to be in the same place in a different country at the same time. Maybe Laguna seca would be better.

Put up a sign that says “free Alfa romeos”. Only enthusiasts will come.

I would for sure come. And bring a friend in a backup car with tools and extra parts.

I might just skip that and bring a trailer.
