Oofos have taken a beating and are still going strong after ~5 years. Are they truly BIFL? Maybe not. But pretty darn close.

Back in the day, this place was producing and selling some of the best value (buy-it-for-life) full grain leather belts. I've had several of their belts which have been worn daily for ~10 years now with plenty of life left in them.

It seems their website has been taken down and there hasn't been much activity since 2018/2019ish.

Did they go out of business?

Bizarrely enough, I also read rumors that the owners became heroin addicts or something, and this may be why the business went under. Anyone know the true story?

Interesting. Good to know!

If it's not already in the works, I could see a lot of utility from adding a "favorited" or "saved" threads/comment option for users to better organize and access the content they want to as opposed to having to sift through what could end up being thousands upon thousands of upvotes.

Is there a way to save threads or save comments within kbin?
