I was just a lurker back in the subreddit days, I didn't want to be tied to a Reddit account, anonymously or not. The American fan posted there a lot though, and kept me apprised of the happenings when things started to go downhill.
As for the Nopie's, I've never liked them. They're never edited that great, so they feel disjointed and too rapid fire. You don't have to like Opie, and I get why most wouldn't, but sometimes you did need to space things out and let them breathe. Anthony and Jim never had the self control for that, they always wanted to throw out a joke and it reduced the quality. You can say Opie would oversteer sometimes, or that he'd get petty when he bombed and kill a good run - that's all genuinely valid - but I'll admit it, he usually was a pretty good judge about keeping shit focused. And he was the only true ball buster of the three.
