Ok, lets break the record for the world longest thread. so how is the hive today?

Considering it's early morning, not doing so well today.

Overall though, seems to be a live, though without many people.

Has this thread now delved deeper than ever before into the realms of pointless meandering and postcount hiking? Or is there a real and identified need for a "State of the Hive" thread?

 

[Aeson]

It's harmless. We the Hivers of this message board spread among the many threads to share our wit and sense of humor. We wish only to allow but a glimpse of the spiritualness of the hive . Few come in to see us in the hive thus we go out often in small parties to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no Hiver has gone before.

I think what we need is to link the threads together and that way if we take the conversation away from the original subject it can go into the hive and the thread can go to an early grave.

 

[OakwoodDM]

That's very brave of you...not the venturing out and finding new ENWorlders to assimilate into your Hive collective part. No, splitting an infinitive on a board full of role-players. We do tend to be a community with a higher than normal proportion of pedantry. If you're lucky, the Star Trekness of it'll save you!

As for taking this thread to an early grave, aren't you a bit late for that?

 

[Aeson]

English while my native language has not been my favorite subject. I use bad grammar and punctuation a lot, so I'm not sure what you mean by "splitting an infinitive". I assume you mean the "To boldly go" phrase. That is what Wikipedia used as an example of a split infinitive.


I was not an English major in college. I did the bare minimum in high school. In the words of the folks in my neck of the woods "I don't talk to good".


I know this thread has yet to die but some threads are born and die within moments of conception. In most cases it is a thread to ask a question that is answered and it goes away. Hivers have ADD and we get bored with a thread and decide it needs a new subject.

In the past, when Hivemind got over 20 pages we normally started a new one. It may be that time.

In the past, there were reasons to cut a thread short. Those reasons are now moot.

I agree with this.....or do I......I don't remember. Oh, never mind.

Why does a conversation get turned into post count hiking? I respond to a post one at a time. It's easier than trying to quote multiple threads in one post.

I don't understand that one either. Bump threads I would consider post whoring. Except that they are fun.

I'm not sure I see a bump thread that way. In a bump thread, in most cases you are adding to the conversation.
