She’s dead Jim. Can’t view old posts either.

[HFV]

@hfv The Herb lied? I am shocked, simply shocked.

@dawrx

just gotta put the link in the image container. and link the ACTUAL image, not the giphy page.

[WhoIsTheLeader]

And even worse, now we all look some FP normies without a post to their name.

[DAWRX]

@jawzx2 thanks for this, I was struggling so much

looks like it doesn't work with shortened links.

My God! I didn't even think of that!

Glad I downloaded the post that I needed (procedure to remove my car's bumper)! I guess we're stuck here now.

[WhoIsTheLeader]

@borsuq I know, right?!?!?! We have no clout to throw around! At least I'm ungrayed on the FP, not that I will be coming back often except to occasionally catch up on Torch and David.

@haveacarortwoorthree Yeeeeeah. I was talking to another writer about this destroying all manner of productivity lately and was like, "you have until the end of the month, right?" Hahahaha, oh, you sweet, sweet summer child.

My response was that what G/O says and what G/O does are two separate things, and you should never, ever trust them for a second given their past behavior. Like, I trust the folks who write for the different GMG websites to be above-board, and generally the tech team is pretty helpful, too, but anyone above them or from Scabspin? Absolutely not.

Good grief, this absolutely friggin' sucks, though. Just because I don't trust them doesn't mean others didn't. Folks were still pulling down content. I've been feeding a bunch of things into archive.org just in case, even though it's buggy and doesn't always grab images. There's a whole browser of open tabs of things I intended to make sure were up there, all gone now.

@whoistheleader I haven’t commented on Jalopnik in a long time. I don’t plan to change that

[Exage03040]

I'm sure they looked at all the shit posting from yesterday and just decided it was easier to nuke it then let people view it for another 2 weeks. That was a glorious end though.

[dogisbadob]

POOF!

@exage03040 Yeah, the Fuck Jim Spanfeller posts might have done it. Oops.

[gin-san]

I went there out of habit and it took a moment for things to click in. Good to see this place doing well, though.

[6MT_FTW]

Well, that really sucks. I started archiving my old posts the other day and got through 2020. I had planned to go back a few more years starting today, but I guess that plan is off the table. Damn.

[trivet]

I was able to save the 2 articles I posted to Oppo, I'll repost them here eventually, as I thought they were pretty good (I'm admittedly biased)

I mean, they weren't wrong.
