What is it? Can someone explain to me what all those “hour rule” posts mean? Who makes the rule? Why an hour?

Have a picture for your time.

If no one makes a post after an hour anyone can put an hour rule post up to keep Oppo fresh.

Oppo self destructs if we don’t comply with the hour rule. Years of science and research gone in a simple second for the mistake of a select few.

We must help the Oppo

We must feed the Oppo

Hour rule posts are due to a flaw in Kinja’s programming, where if a blog goes for longer than 90 minutes without an update it’ll shut down the blog. As a result, we try to post every hour in order to prevent the shutdown.

Posts can be even more random than normal.

Are they automatic or is it just people on notice the time and post an hour rule post?

mistake of a select few

Wouldn’t that be the collective mistake of the community on the whole, and not a few though?

It’s more of someone notices and does it.

Every hour the Mods get super duper close to banning everyone until our bloodlust is slaked by users posting new content. New content is love. New content is life.

Oppositelock will disappear if there hasn’t been a post in one hour.

What about Cigar Lounge? Doesnt seem like it gets posted on at least once an hour.

It was such a mistake for Denton to hire the Lost writers to program kinja.

So is that why you guys go crazy on an Oppo theme day? Too much new content?

He’s not serious. It’s really 120 minutes.

Oppo needs more off topic in general.

Too much of the same content makes Mods angry.

I always thought if someone didn’t post something once an hour they all got flogged. Was I wrong?

Yep. Makes me laugh when people apologize for posting off topic items. I've been here long enough that I remember that was what it was called.

Then they pop some goofballs, get on their motor scooters, ride down to the dance hall, and stab Rockers with switchblades. It’s awwwful.

No worries. Welcome. There is no “bumping” on Oppo. Old posts here just die, unless the come back on the sidebar of the main page that is, like the “Ultimate ground speed check”, that just WILL NOT DIE.
