      So... sometime in the last couple of weeks as the Kinja blogs started to die off, I lost my authorship on every single blog I ever created, belonged to, or administered. And so while everyone was shitposting and saying goodbye, I just watched and occasionally commented. But I couldn't properly post a goodbye post.

      After a moment of frustration, I realized it was fine. There was no need for a long goodbye (instead I'll go for a semi-lengthy hello!).

      But now that there does seem to a migration, and thanks to a pretty hard cut off and a super dedicated group of folks who are working to support this community in ways I never dreamed of, I wanted to say thank you to all of you who made oppo.... oppo.

      I took a lot of pride in that community. I had fun, made great friends, made mistakes, posted a lot of stuff and then life kind of got in the way. I'll be checking in here from time to time.

      But I definitely want to say thank you to @jminer @RallyDarkstrike @nickhasanexocet and everyone else who made this possible.

      It's nice to see friendly familiar faces in an environment that isn't constantly nibbled works.

      Oppositelock is dead, long live Opposite-lock.

        Unlikely that this community would still be together after all these years without you and the OG crew, GC.

        Glad you're here, and thanks.

          @gamecat235 right on! Welcome from a much younger (by membership) Oppo.

          Should I look forwards or backwards in life? Well, where's the engine?

            Thanks! I may have done some damage control and spent a fair bit of time building bridges. But it was good work. I generally enjoyed the modding duties and I loved getting to know the system (and troubleshooting the blogs with Ernie and others).

                    @chariotoflove That's my plan. Gotta get some work done first. But I'll be back.

                              @blondude This space is all about oppo so ditching the music related avatar and going back to the Pikes Peak Celica just felt right.
