And now here we are in 2022, being officially the single oldest site still on the internet! [citation needed]<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Over the past two decades, we've posted over 6,500<!--6,586--> reviews, covering more than 9,500<!--9,543--> individual toys, each post packed with more information than you can find anywhere else - no fill-in-the-blank, cookie-cutter reviews here. We've reviewed everything from the newest thing on shelves to the oldest thing in our toyboxes.<\/p>\n<p>But we've also given you much more than that. Only at OAFEnet can you find Points of Articulation, the column that takes an in-depth look at issues affecting the toy industry, whether good or bad. You can get a laugh over in our Figuretoons, or argue the finer points of... well, pretty much anything on the Loafing Lounge. OAFEnet is your one-stop source for online action figure entertainment, and your #1 source for toy reviews.<\/p>\n<p>With a full 20 years of history, we've outlasted the site that spawned us, sites that followed us, and the site that tried to copy our design.
