For some reason I took screen shots, I think it was right before they did away with stars.

Was also looking at: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! how oppo used to be and the people that used to be active a lot.

Alas, Kinja is all I’ve ever known.

*“ever” being the two years or so that I’ve been around Jalopnik/Oppo

Wow. There are a lot of names there I haven’t seen in a long time.

So many of these names. Then again, so many are still around.

I was thinking the same thing.

I’m surprised how many of these people are still around. These screen shots are over 4 years old. (June 26, 2012)

Me, looking at this post

Kinja'd!!!

I feel you, considering those screen shots are from June 26, 2012.

3rd screenshot I spy me.

What a nice memory... thanks for posting this!

I always wonder what happens to random internet people.

Figured people who had been around long enough to remember this would appreciate it.

What this has taught me is that nobody every changes their avatars.

Lies. I was once James Lipton.

Ah, yes. I remember that I had only recently gone over the 1,000 friend mark when they did away them. I had also recently lost my star on Gizmodo when they did away with those. I can’t remember what I wrote that pissed them off, but I doubt it was worthy of an unstarring.

We all lost our stars back in 2012, when they changed up the commenting system.

I knew you didn’t like me.

Actually this may have been during my self-imposed exile.

I feel like I remember you from a while ago, when did you start commenting here?

lone_liberal > E90M3
10/06/2016 at 16:01

Yep, but I lost my Gizmodo star about a week before that. I still had my LifeHacker, Jez, and Jalop stars but I had pissed off the Gizmodo overlords.

E90M3 > lone_liberal
10/06/2016 at 16:02

Maybe they just wanted to piss you off knowing that it wouldn’t matter in a week anyways. They seem to like to do things like that over there.

I thought for sure I’d be on there. Also, I miss McNewbie, Frost, etc .etc. etc.

Also, your link to TSquare makes me want to point and laugh.

E90M3 > Wacko
10/06/2016 at 16:03

Ha! I was actually thinking about those when I made this post.

what are you talking about nibby’s avatar is totally different

I took my exile starting Oct 21, 2011. And then it was 2.5 years without a post, infrequent posting until somewhere around Dec. 2014 IIRC.

Kinja'd!!!

Of course you’re on there.

On the T-square part, well I was still in school back in 2012. I can still log into all the GT sites:

I have no idea when I started on oppo, but started on the FP in May of 2009. Was active, at varying levels, until Feb of 2013. Came back to oppo in May of this year.

Yeah, my first post in my history here was 12/4/2008.

Part of me wonders what happened to some of these people. Then the rest of me steps in and says “don’t ask questions.” Also, I forgot that Ravey Mayvey Slurpee is the best screen name of all time.

People hated kinja, other things are more important, etc. I just wonder what happened to the people that were super active.

Ah, missed it. I must not have friended you back at that point cause I didn’t see me in your followers list. Ah, Buzzport, aka the website I only ever used to transfer money for laundry...

E90M3 > RamblinRover Luxury-Yacht
10/06/2016 at 16:23

Fuck Buzzport, I never used that site. I also liked how t-square would crash, without fail, every finals week.

I was around. Well, sometime around/before these screenshots were taken. I heard about io9 first, and that was back in 2011-ish? Maybe? I forget. But I didn’t deign to make an account until late 2013, and was too turned off by the Oppo of yore to interact here for another year after that.

I’d apologize for that, but I’m not sorry. ^_~
