      Hit them where it hurts, just stop going to FP as well.

        Ditto. I am looking forward to never reading a G/O blog (except Lifehacker, I guess) again - and definitely never commenting on one. They're all toxic anyway.

          Still go to Jalopnick, scroll down a bit and click Latest. Don't know why a link straight there does not appear to produce the same results. Haven't tested it lately, though. And then I also like Skillet. Claire has some good ideas sometimes. Lifehacker is for the young.

            Completely understand the boycott, but...

            for any of you who will visit Jalopnik to support the OPPO alum, here's an idea:

              @davesaddiction honestly it's been quite a while since I commented anything on FP... unless telling people to come here is the only thing to do...

                @tonicipriani It's a noble pursuit.

                Hopefully Torch, David and some of the other old JalOppo folks make their way over here.

                  Though it makes me curious. Didn't Miss Mercedes say there were actually other side-blogs other than Oppo? I wonder if those made contingency plans too.

                    I'll miss The Takeout, but I haven't been able to comment for a long time anyway.

                      There were plenty...some had exit strategies, others perhaps didn't. Either way, Boot Hill is busy today...

                      Ours is not to reason why...merely to point and giggle.

                        I was a fan of Gizmodo, Kotaku, and Lifehacker before all the formatting changes. Did a lot of reading on The Root and Splinter as well.

                        Guess I'll get my fix elsewhere. Oh well.

                          I kind of like io9. But I haven't been able to comment there or even Jalopnik for ages because it won't let me log in. Nothing lost though.

                            Looks like The Root, The TakeOut, Kotaku, Lifehacker, and Gizmodo are all still up and on the banner along with Jalopnik. They weren't considered user-generated, apparently. (I'm still looking at Jalopnik out of habit/morbid curiosity, but that had already become infrequent.)

                              @LimitedTimeOnly Naw, TakeOut, Kotaku, etc were always main-line blogs like Jalopnik.

                              I'll still be reading Jalopnik....not to support G/O, but to support the writers there, especially considering they risked their necks to try and get us reprieve.....a huge thanks to @David-Tracy and Rory, @Miss-Mercedes and the others...
