The Society for the Study of the Modern Visual HIVE!

[Relique du Madde]

I know this hive... or maybe it was the last one, I was all nervous and paniced about my senior project.


All I have to say now is... I'm glad my teacher made me the project manager. Right now, I honestly can say that coding wise I'm A BIG FING HEROE! RAWR!

What's up with the experience system?
Are you supposed to "xp" someone back when you get some?

How old is the hive and how quickly does its cycle turn?

The Hive started, I believe, about the time of GenCon 2000 or 2001 when Crothian wondered how long a thread he could make whilst all the Admins and Moderators were away that weekend.

This then became a running gag and saw a group of us (waaaaay more than 4, at least 20) posting regularly. Eventually, these long-running chat threads were christened the Hivemind so that other forum users could spot them and ignore them, and once the Off-Topic forum was created they were moved from Meta to here.

I've been posting in Hive threads a long time, with some long breaks in between, and I consider it my home-from-home on the Web to be honest. I used to store some Hivemind stuff on a web page, but that's long gone now.

Hmmm. I have a web page. I should do something with that.

Hmmm, sounds rather serious. I'll see how long I manage to stay.
I tend to not be that committed to a place, but who knows.
You're not swarmed with people hopping in and out?

Just give XP for posts you like. Because they are funny or insightful or making good points or awesome for some other reasons. No-Rep-Back demands.

You only think it looks serious because you've not seen the rounds of "One Man Went To Mow", the various food-fights over the years and the pages of song parodies.

The Hive is a useful place for off-topic ramblings and getting a bit of help from your fellow gamers in times of trouble. That's why I like it.

Ah thanks. That clarifies it. Sometimes you get this "I exp you, you exp me" culture. For no obvious reason.

Yeah, but this exp system is locked so that you have to give tons of exp to different people before you could give the same person exp once again.

Thankfully only the mods are able to neg rep... since I personally think neg rep part of the system can easily lead to tomfoolery or arsehattery.


That said, I hardly ever rep people.

Aurora felt ignored the last time she popped in. She's also been pretty busy with life. I'm not sure she'll come back much. Goldmoon may never be back. I hope I'm wrong though. I'd be happy if The Warlock and hafrogman came back. I miss JDVN1 and Lady_Acoma also. Lady_A has no interest in the site or the hive anymore. It'd be fun if Kemrain came back. reveal used to hang out but he's too good for us now.

What drove everyone else away?
