La Hivecabra!

[Nightcloak]

First hive post Evah.

Just curious, how did the hive start? What event or evil mind cause the genisis of the longest continuous thread in ENWrld history?

It is said that the Post- sucker lay at the botton of the sea with a plush Piratecat toy.

Or does the Post-sucker with the plush Piratecat toy forbid such knowledge to be spread...

Just curious, how did the hive start? What event or evil mind cause the genisis of the longest continuous thread in ENWrld history?

According to the myths of ENWorld, which are supposedly accurate:

Among certain circles (ok, just me ), Crothian is also known as the Hive Starter. In a possibly ironic twist, he started a meta thread that asked - "How big can a thread grow safely?" That thread became the testing ground - the Sacred Thread. It saw the posting of many who would become The Spreaders of the Word, the first Hiveminders, the Veterans.

The thread grew, was closed, and replaced. Slowly, the hivemind threatened to overwhelm the Meta forum, until Piratecat, in his wisdom, decreed "Just three there are - no more, maybe less."

Thus in the dark recesses of the Meta forum, the Hivemind continued to grow, kept in checkby the Piratecat Decree. Piratecat saw this, and was pleased, and decreed "The Hivemind dwelled in the Darkness so long, it shall see the light of General Discussion. But only one thread there shall be, no more. And the Darkness will always watch over the Hivemind."

Long was the time the Hivemind dwelled in General Discussion, reviled by some, welcomed by others. And when the protean Off-Topic board was born, the Hivemind found its home among these threads so similar yet dissimilar to itself. To this day, the Hive lives there, even though it mostly slumbers.

3. No and yes

All uncorrectly right! Welcome to the Hive, please submit your brain to the heavy machinery for implantation.

And Maldur, I think the Horacio spotting was months back...or at least, I remember it being a long while ago. Late last summer, I think...

 

[Crothian]

morning lads.

Is the rumour of A spotted Horacio true?
I miss having the lad around.

I spotted him on RPG net but not here

I'm sorry. I scared him off. Skittish, he is...

 

[Evilhalfling]

Who is the spotted Horacio?
Is he in My Birds of North America handbook?

According to the myths of ENWorld, which are supposedly accurate:

Oh.

Thank you. I should have know that this would have been Crothian's fault.

So, do I need permision from the "Darkness" to stop by and post here?

Or is it at my own risk!?

 

[Angcuru]

At risk of your mental well-being, perhaps. Just be careful...

Oh, it's at your own risk alright. When you get a package in the mail, don;t worry about opening it. It's the new self-installing Hivemind Implant ™.

Technically, it kind of was my fault. This silliness likely would never have occurred to Crothian, but as soon as the mad thought had found root in his mind, he made sure it all would come to pass. He is the Hive's champion, making sure it grows and spreads wherever he goes. I salute thee, Crothian.

And everyone can be assured of my implicit permission, as it were, to post anywhere in EN World unless a given forum or thread instructs otherwise.
It is at your own risk, though, I'm afraid.
