A general thank you to everyone

[gamecat235]

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.

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).

Welcome, old chap! Kick your shoes off and tell some stories!

[davesaddiction]

@gamecat235 Ernie's tribute to the community was perfect.

[RallyDarkstrike]

@gamecat235 Hey man! Welcome to new Oppo world! Nice to see some OG folks coming out of the woodwork! Pleasure to have you with us!

[gamecat235]

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

[Blondudette]

Yay! Gamecat's here! And he's got the Celica too!

[EssExTee]

@gamecat235 Did you get to record a final view/comment count on Blackbird?

[EssExTee]

@davesaddiction Did he post something? Damn, I missed it.

[gamecat235]

@essextee I did not. It was a lot. LOL.

[gamecat235]

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

I love that it's topic No. 666 in the URL. Mwahahahaha.

[gamecat235]

@stef-schrader That's really kind of perfect.
