Who's missing?

If there’s someone who has been active this year but MIA for a while, please add them in the comments; perhaps someone else has their contact information and can warn them about our looming doom, and at least make sure they’re ok.

I’ve noticed these two have gone quiet, both of whom concern me:

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (checked in, he’s fine)

Ash’s last discussion was around the possibility of COVID in his family, and Junkrat hasn’t checked in since shortly after evacuating during the wildfires.

I’m going to dig through Ash’s satirical gems and submit them to web.archive.org.

I would really love to know if Junkrat is OK...

Yeah, I replied to one of his last comments a few weeks ago hoping he’d let us know how he was doing, but no sign of activity since then.

From what I’ve read, we lost Z Has An ND either earlier this year or last year.

Chuckles has been taking a break from Oppo/kinja but he did a FFF semi recently, and we hear from him sometimes in the FFF email.

FFF?

facw > Just Jeepin'
11/08/2020 at 10:34

Fur Face Friday. Chuckles is one of our Snout Selectors. Oppo Xyl0c41n3 was as well, though she stopped posting on Kinja a while ago (her choice, she had some unpleasantness with someone on a different kinja blog).

Just Jeepin' > facw
11/08/2020 at 10:35

I thought perhaps I might have his email, since he was busy helping me find interesting routes/waypoints on my trip to the Outer Banks, but we did that entirely through Oppo.

facw > Just Jeepin'
11/08/2020 at 10:40

I do have his email, I’m planning on sending an email to all the current and former Snout Selectors (aside from Chuckles and Xyl0c41n3, none of them are O ppos) , to get a discussion going on what we should do.

Just Jeepin' > facw

He was. I think he may still hang around the FP though.

Damn! I’m sorry for the news.

VincentMalamute-Kim > Manwich - now Keto-Friendly
11/08/2020 at 11:32

I can’t remember the name but from the replies, I’m guessing it was the guy who had to evacuate due to fire closing in. It did sound like his place was going to burn from his posts. It also sounded like he was making all the right decisions to be safe.

VincentMalamute-Kim > facw
11/08/2020 at 11:38

From another comment, I can’t tell if the unpleasantness was due to Xyl0c41n3 or if the other person was at fault. I don’t need to know which, but if it was the other person causing Xyloc to drop out that’s too bad.

I’m mentioning it because it reminds me that people are (generally ) nice without too much drama on Oppo and that’s why I’m not on other social media .

Luc the Acadian Oppo

His family had bought a new house (with problems) , but soon after lost his job. Sold his projects. Seems to be content missing from his discussions. Hard luck guy.

Immoral Minority? I think things got too political for him but I loved Sunchaser , Toby and Pumpkin posts.

Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo > Just Jeepin'
11/08/2020 at 12:48

Junkrat had at one point replied that they saved all the animals but that his home was almost certainly gone.

In reply to a thread in the comments, but still sticking in my list of other oppos: As I understand it, Xylo is not banned or anything like that, she stepped away. I think she even replied to something I posted in this calendar year.

I’m sad to not see chuckles around anymore, he was great.

Birddog cut ties a while ago, stellar fella.

Mkbruin was permed I believe (I have no context, but I’m pretty I can guess what it was) , he still posts on FP.

uncleaven(o us?) has ghosted, sad.

ORLG is not gone, just barely posts at all.

Just Jeepin' > MiniGTI - now with XJ6

He was banned. I miss Toby.

He forgot his password and doesn’t have the interest to make a new account. I’m in a group chat with him.

MiniGTI - now with XJ6 > Just Jeepin'
11/08/2020 at 13:32

I thought he was unbanned for a time but then he seemed to disappear after a couple COVID discussions; I figured he got disgusted and left.

11/08/2020 at 13:35

I may be mistaken.

He returned from his timeout, but still refused to follow rule 1 so, permabanned he became.

11/10/2020 at 09:50

Chuckles is alive and I believe well. He decided to take a break from Oppo after a couple now-banned Oppos decided to start attacking people both here and on the Discord. He hasn’t been back since and I don’t think he’ll ever be.

I know the Discord lost a few great Oppos during the aforementioned attacks and wouldn’t be surprised if that was reflected here.

facw > vondon302
11/10/2020 at 09:52

Just for us snout selectors. I think we will try to keep going, but I suspect it will be harder since even if we cross-post to the various sites, it’s still asking people to create another account, and maybe jump through hoops regarding image hosting, which will certainly cause some people to drop away.

smobgirl > Just Jeepin'

Definitely still alive IRL. BUNCH of southern California folks I know from here who don’t post much anymore but I still regularly interact with. I'll let IM know that oppo misses him next time I see him. I'll score some points by posting blurry Toby photos.

11/10/2020 at 10:43

It's unfortunate that he is so stubborn haha. I know he means well but he definitely won't back down from getting into it with people and fortunately y'all don't allow that bullshit. At least Instagram allows for endless Toby content.
