Title: We have a winner, and a nachspiel...
Post by: jax on 2014-02-26, 09:31:47
Here, while the site is up (http://my.opera.com/community/forums/findpost.pl?id=15168002).

And barely at that, had they waited another 30 seconds I would have posted.

The new forum (http://forums.opera.com/) is, at last refresh, still 403 Forbidden.

Anyway, I invite to nachspiel (http://my.opera.com/jax/blog/2014/02/25/the-d-d-nachspiel), the first :beer: is on me. (over there you actually get one...)

Congratulations, Jax, you managed the past post apparently.

So the D&D stopped at about 10 am GMT, which would be the start of the 26th Feb in Alaska. So whoever done it was pretty cool.

Cheers to you.

Last post linking to your thread, had to find an appropriate one with a sufficiently morbid theme. The alternative candidate was whether dead bodies should be burned, buried, or eaten by wild animals.

Anyway, inviting to nachspiel (http://my.opera.com/jax/blog/2014/02/25/the-d-d-nachspiel), as I will elsewhere, since there are many successor sites, including the upcoming official. Last chance to use My Opera to its original purpose.

Yes - I noticed that link - I do morbid.

Speaking of which I thought Krake had a nice accompaniment.

This is a gem and will go in my permanent collection of classics.

I didn't look at the time at the time, but I think it was somewhere between 11:15 and 11:19 CET (when ensbb3 made the first post post (http://my.opera.com/jax/blog/2014/02/25/the-d-d-nachspiel#comment114695452)).

Well, all good things must come to an end. But with the end of MyOpera, so my username is reborn....yay!

Whether I will get an awful lot of time to contribute is another matter. But it's nice to know that so many familiar faces have found a corner of the web to congregate.

I guess it's now safe for me to disclose the nature of my Opera banning. In case anyone cares. Which you probably don't. But still. The MyOpera blogs racked up high pageranks with Google which made them attractive to link spammers. I sold out. But in the 2 years before being caught by a Mod and given the boot, I raked in about US $20,000 whoring my blog and selling links to people selling 'Rolex' watches, vaginal rejuvenation surgery and other ethically dubious enterprises. So....it was kinda worth it. Especially considering how far $20k stretched in Mexico. :)

I'm still rather sad to see the old DandD go under though. Surely adding it onto their new forums wouldn't have been too much expense or hard work.

Heh, so all is good then. Old name back, clean slate, new site, new chances to sell out...

So, how is the project adding blogs to this web site going?

I could add a basic micro-blog system, but that might be stretching myself too thin.

(Seriously I don't think it is worth it. In a word: spam. Besides I wouldn't be using this site if I wanted to have a blog. Originally I didn't plan to use Vivaldi either, but now I might for a low-volume one.)

Hey, don't put the guy down.

He used MyOPERA for what he could.....no harm, no foul.

We could all use some enlightenment into free-market entrepreneurial capitalism.

I raise my glass to the spirit of self-determination & empowerment through constructive imagination (https://www.smileyfaze.tk/slides/cheerskj4.gif)

Why, so we don't all end up suckin' at government's hind tit ---- leave that for the weak, the helplessly disgruntled, & the sleazy, every day run of the mill, socialist & communist. (https://www.smileyfaze.tk/slides/CoolGlasses.gif)

I don't think it would be financially worthwhile to spam here. This is just a small community of former myopera users. If a vaginal reconstruction surgeon did pay somebody to spam here, I think I would laugh instead of getting mad.

We've had sign-ups by "surgeons" and "doctors" from Florida to Essex. I've been quietly deleting them, and they seem to have given up.

Possibly. To be fair to the Opera mods, they gave me two warnings in the months before I got the boot. But the money was too good to turn down. I used to use a website called PayPerPost, which was basically a link exchange that got bloggers and advertisers together. In the first couple of years it was awesome. You could do 3 ads per day per blog, and they were paying up to a frankly ridiculous $140 per ad. Most were about $35. But considering you just had to write 100 words per ad, it was freakingly easy cash. It paid for my wedding, my honeymoon, a shiny mountain bike, redecorating my home, a computer, a camera and plenty more.

PayPerPost and its spin offs died a death though. I got out when you were lucky to get a single ad a week for $5. I still run ads on my (non Opera) blogs though. It still pays ok, but nothing like it used too. Anything from £35 to £60 per ad, but ads come along less frequently. I guess I took about £2,000 last year.
