What is an 'opan gate'? Is that like an open gate? Are there
'closad gates'? Maybe. Here are the facts. You pronounce it
like /oʊ pæn/. Oh-pan. Whenever you think of opening a gate
or any variation of that phrase, you replace open with opan.
To opan is to open. Opaning is opening. An opened gate is an
opaned gate.
This website is a reminder that the gates are opan. Pick up
that old book, make art, read books, talk to your friends.
The gates don't stay opan on their own. Don't sit around for
them to close. Ask questions and if you're still confused,
just say the word "opan" out loud a few times. It helps.

What Is A Name
Opan Gates has a deep connection to the internet. The lore
is simple. An image of Bill Gate's head was photoshopped
onto the body of the Pyro from Team Fortress 2. The image
inspired the username 'Pyro Gates'. Eventually the name
transformed to 'opan gates', A connection to another Valve
game certainly exists through the famous frying pan. Although the full story is lost to time, what matters the
most is what opan gates stands for now.
