Looks like a the Final Repost of Arch Duke's "Eat Shit, Oppo" was the Last on Kinja...
-
According to the Atom feed anyway. Of course who knows if that matches what people who were there saw while mashing refresh over on the actual site. (I was in a WebEx meeting at work when it was finally killed.) A fitting end. Who is the Leader got the final original post in the feed.
-
Mind sharing with us how you got the Atom feed working? Several of us would like to take advantage of it if the devs do turn on the lights in some read-only archive.
-
A fitting end indeed. I was wondering who had the final say over there.
-
@fttohg That was a great roast. A fitting end to kinjaOppo
-
@fttohg I hope "eat shit oppo" was saved somewhere else too!
-
YEEEEEEESSSSSSS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I DID IT! I really was last! Eat it, Honda Bro.
If I recall, the image I posted was the following as I estimated noon to be the last time the blog could possibly be available to post on last night. Turns out I was right.
I thought this was a fitting end to a fantastic blog.
-
@hooker I know it was amazing. I planned to archive it as soon as I could get a break at work but didn't before the site was nuked. I guess I should've expected this but I thought the word that it would go read-only until the end of the month was pretty solid.
-
Glad that this part was cleared up.
-
@fttohg as I've said before, I don't trust them. Of course, all the Herb posts probably didn't do us any favors. Lol. They were glad to get rid of us. They have no idea the community they lost.

@bicyclebuck So I just put this URL into an RSS reader: https://oppositelock.kinja.com/rss/export?t=05a8bea9-3e05-4b41-be8d-eb8929a2dfdb-0-16f200d940e9c6211e236fb648f732115432d5f2
It came up with an error then I refreshed it and got the last 100 posts. No images although YouTube embeds seem to actually work. Post author and text is there... or at least some text. I think it cuts off longer articles.
Somewhere in that hexadecimal gibberish there might be something that sets the start/end time and/or number of posts that go into the feed, but I haven't looked into it yet. Or maybe we just get the last 100 and that's it. That would be fitting coming from Kinja.
FWIW I was able to run it on my personal blog as well but it only had the posts that went right to that blog so my Oppo posts are in purgatory somewhere.
-
@hooker I've been kicking myself all morning becuase I finally got an archiving tool working last night, did all my posts from 2020 (which was like 5% of the total) and went to bed figuring I'd be able to grab the rest today. I don't know why I trusted them - I guess coming from some trustworthy sources... but I shouldn't have and I'm kicking myself.
-
@fttohg it just means that you now have a golden opportunity to recreate content here!
-
Yeah... look there were a lot of shitposts but there were a couple reviews I was proud of. I'll recreate them the best I can but I'm sure with the time off it won't quite be the same.
-
@fttohg I was really happy I took advantage of the offer to get a backup of all my posts. There wasn't too much of time consuming posts, but I did have a few I wanted.
-
@hooker i saved it last night as an html web archive cause it was too good.
-
@maximaspeed please repost here when you have a chance!!
-
@hooker Can't prove it isn't original anymore without your personal archive if you have one.
-
@fttohg same i only had about half done
-
@maximaspeed So, it can be viewed once again! That was some of the best roasting I've seen.
-
@fttohg Ok, Will do.
-
That was masterful. Quite a shit post.
-
@whoistheleader Oh hell yeah, is that mauve?
-
@stef-schrader Not my problem anymore. It went down with the SS Kinja. But yes, I should think something like that.
-
What happened to it?
