Since wistful nostalgia seems to be the theme of the day (some might call it the ultimate theme day), maybe we could play some “member that guy?” and recall some of the most beloved or memorable users from the past. I’ll throw a few out:

505turbeaux

Hondabro

That dude who had a ‘95 Ranger and loved the hell out of it. Can’t remember his username. Young kid.

Nibbles

505 still posts occasionally, he just did actually. He’s actually a mod on the FB page and works for an antique car museum now.

Hondabro is active in the Discord, he’s a mod actually

Denver posts on the FB page a lot , but he still has the Ranger.

Nibbles is pretty active on the FB page.

Whatever happened to that Crazedclay guy? He’s the only Oppo I’ve ever met in person, and actually the one who suggested I come on here from the FP. Owned some rental properties in Alberta, I think?

Oppo made me feel like part of the cool kids group.  It’s strange how much a simple website can feel like a home.  Makes me wish I could have been around more the last few years.

I remember years ago a thread with him and some others where someone was going through some really rough personal stuff and he literally recorded like a 20 minute long video talking him through it and posted it in reply. That thread made me realize I had some similar shit going on and really helped me though it.

Later he and Yamahog started some beef and he started getting more and more outwardly anti-feminist, anti-PC , etc. which ultimately culminated in him getting banned .

Same. I dialed back my posting frequency a couple years ago because life was getting in the way and I was getting tired of it, but now I wish I had stuck around more. It’s cliché , but I guess you don’t really know what you have until it’s gone.

ranwhenparked > Blondude 11/07/2020 at 00:12

Oh, yeah, I thought there was the banhammer involved in there somewhere. Kind of surprising, wouldn’t have expected that from him

Yeah. I remember feeling kind of hurt when it all started falling apart. It felt like it wasn’t the clay that I had grown to admire and respect. In retrospect it makes me wonder if there was anything going on in the background that we didn’t know about. I hope he’s doing alright now.

We also had a James May impersonator for a bit.

The ranger kid was Denver. Deathly allergic to peanuts, and his neighbors kept feeding them to the local squirrels. Last I heard he was doing well.

Some of his posts were AMAZING. Awesome concept cars, and a crazy in-depth history of the Beetle (he may or may not have been a Nazi). 

But holy crap the lies... Guy was mental. Who knows if anything he (she?) ever wrote was true.

Also issues iirc with nsfw That he seemed to take as a personal affront.

He got banned from Facebook Oppo too after being banned from here, and went to Manual Elitist Jerks. He eventually got banned from there too, it was a big deal at the time, as far as Facebook car groups go. I follow him on Instagram for old Volvo posting reasons, but he’s very, very right wing. Hence the being banned from things.

The dude became a mod on the unofficial Oppo  FB page and went nuts deleting any comment he didn’t like. Got called out and de modded . Not banned Or posting privileges just demodded and he t hrew the most petulant tirade. He could write and could be cool at times , but also has deep issues.

Right? When he was trying to be a normal, functioning member of the community it was great, but the dude had some of the most insane lies I’ve ever seen and he kept digging himself deeper and deeper with them. I always wondered if when he dis appeared (due to his blindness, of course) he actually came back under a different name and just blended in with the rest of us.

I’m sure he tried a couple times under other aliases, but I think the mods always found him out. He even switched computers or used his kid’s (?) to chan ge his IP address, if I remember correctly.
