What is the Hivemind?

[Kemrain]

I keep hearing about this thing, but I've never been told what it is. I can't search, and I don't know Google fu. My only worry is this, that you can't be told what the hivemind is. That you have to experience it for yourself.

The Hivemind is power

The Hivemind is a state of mind.

Yes, that too.

We are all the Hivemind.

 

[Kemrain]

I dunno about that.. I don't feel very powerful. Or minded. Or stately.

THe Hivemind is actually two things. It started as a sort of joke many years ago when the site was smaller. It was a silly series of threads which created the idea that insted of all the posters being individuals we are all in fact part of Piratecats (one of the moderators of these boards) sub conscience. That is really where the name came from.

The second part is the Hivmind threads. They are way off topic, silly, erious threads that are a lot more like conversaitons almost like chats. Anyone can participate but usually it is mostly people like myself that have the ability to post lots through out the day and use this site to remain sane at work.

Any other questions?

Oh, wow. How concise. Thank you, Mr. Epic Ooze.

I have lots of questions! Some of them are more interesting than others. The ones at the top of the pile, oddly enough, all seem to revolve around Cassini, Saturn and Titan.

And, "Just how cool is Pirate Cat's secret door?"

And, "Has anyone else played Liero?"

And, "Has anyone seen my friend Ian's d4? He lost it at GenCon 3 years ago..."

Yep. They never came out with the online version they said they were making, though.

How do you know about the secret door?
