(OT) What the heck is a hivemind thread?

Honestly, I am too lazy to try to surf through hundreds of posts to figure it out, but if someone could fill me in (without flaming me, preferably, but either way is fine) I'd sure appreciate it :)

As near as I can tell (and I could be way off here), a Hivemind thread is nothing more than an excuse for people to come in and just shoot the breeze about whatever they want to.

Essentially, its a thread without a topic, to just say whatever comes to mind and hang out with friends. Very casual.

It's a place for posters to talk about anything. We get to know each other a little more then is usually possible in the other threads. Don't worry about reading the past posts, they aren't as important as the subject changes and sometimes there is no real subject.

Yup! It's the messageboard equivalent of a chat room. Only one open at a time, all of them supposedly portions of my own personality - we don't believe that, though - and nice folks.

I'll slide this over to meta. :)

I use the [Hivemind] threads to touch base with other regular users here who hang out there. It is indeed very much a chat room environment.
