We've reached a million posts and comments on this little website we call home!!!!!
In not quite 2.5 years we've had a hell of a ride, here's some notable stats and posts over this time.
Note: this post was composed and scheduled last night but I very much expect to hit 1,000,000 posts sometime on Thursday so this may be slightly before or after that epic milestone
Most Liked Post
The credit for this one goes to our favorite spacecrab @Dr-Zoidberg and his journey of buying a dream car. This came in with 151 updoots!
Most Commented Post
This one is our beloved Tinies from 2022 that's put together by the one and only @Chariotoflove with a whopping 644 comments! It's also a close second for most liked post.
Most Page Views
The top few are here mostly things that google for whatever likes and pumps a bunch of views at as through search but the top one is from @User and is about an Audi crash in Germany.
Top Tag
This one surprised me as I expected the top tag to be Hour Rule, it's main user is the always excellent @pip-bip but the top tag is tumbler which if you'd asked me I would have told you was a platform that no longer existed!
Top Poster
This poster who's made the most individual posts on the hyphen is the inimitable @pip-bip (second mention here!) with 21,041 posts to his name (this will probably be higher when this post goes live). Thank you @pip-bip for keeping the lights on while the rest of us are wasting time sleeping!
Most Upvoted Poster
This place goes to @ttyymmnn who has constantly impressed us with his aviation knowledge and excellent prose. 51,731 times over the course of the hyphen people have updooted his prose. I imagine he'd also have the longest post, but I'd need to build a DB query to tell me that and I have not done that yet.
Most Likes Per Post
This is a ratio of upvotes/posts. I put a filter for a minimum of 100 posts from a given user to be eligible and the user with the most updoots per post is @Trekkster__T with an astonishing 978 updoots for 108 posts! Their shit is popular!
I'm going to give an honorable mention here to our much beloved @Miss-Mercedes because if I put the filter at 1,000 posts instead of 100 she just edges @CB with 5,754 updoots for 1,269 posts!
Top Search
The top phrase typed into the search bar at the top of the page is 'Cool Minivan' which has been typed in 553 times!
This can't be anything other than a result of @COOLMINIVAN.......NOBODY's name change and the sweet, sweet things he's done over the years with my second-favorite vehicle bodystyle.
Storage Used
The oppo engine has cranked away and is filled with 482,007 uploaded photos and GIFs which takes up 384.2 GB of space!
Further Reading When you have time I'd recommend perusing opposite-lock.com/top as the top stack there is well worth reads. Some are triumphant, some sorrowful, some inspiring and others downright entertaining but they capture the essence of what we do here very well. I can't promise you won't cry reading through any post you've missed (you probably will) but it'll be worth it!
In Summary This has been a hell of a journey my friends, there almost isn't a day that I don't spend time here learning things, making friends and just downright enjoying it. I can't believe we're still here and kicking strong after nearly being knifed to death but every day you all keep showing up and kicking ass! Keep making this place awesome and don't forget to invite your cool friends!
If you've stuck with me so far let us all know below what your favorite memory related to Oppo over the years!
PS - I wanted to add pictures to each relevant and part but I already spent like 90 minutes typing it up so that's not gonna happen tonight
PPS - this thing ain't free to run. If you're able to, you can either buy merch here or donate directly here through paypal to fund operations
