What happens to the Haunted Apiary when it's all over?

[Ekim]

I was wondering this, too. I hope it stays around for a while, for Halo 2 talk, and for a bank of memories. I'm not sure who will come back after this week is over, but I'll stick around for a while as long as there are still some beekeepers around.

[daboking]

it will still be around, and after the newness of halo2 wears off, there will be plenty to talk about.

SpaceBass would move the entire ILB posts into the archives section where we can STILL post and keep in touch. Some of the community will move away into other interests in life. Others will stay, become a part of new ARGs. A *LOT* of the cameraderie and friendship will scatter to the winds.

But the memories of what we have done together, laughed and cried together will stay in our hearts forever.

Somewhat off topic, but in the general interest of "After the game is over" sentiment:

A warrior wears medals and other souvenirs of battle as a reminder and a badge of honor, right?

What if every ARG had a small(say, 64x64 or 32x32) "badge" picture that a person would be welcome to put in their signature/on their webpages/etc to indicate participation in ARGs gone by? I think it woudl be neat to be browsing a completely unrelated forum, or a webpage, and see that someone was a part of Bees.


That or an ARG geek code, but I dunno about that.

well I think that bee logo ceantari designed is pretty well recognized already...

EDIT: oh yeah, it's even in my sig

[thebruce]

well, um, it's also on the front page of my fiction site... and that won't be dying any time soon

[Motoss]

It would be great if a few years from now, everyone who participated in this ARG still got together online to talk about it, like people do about The Beast. It owuld be a great sense of belonging to something huge (which this was, as the 1000+ calls answered Monday proved).

[thebruce]

yes, yes I noticed... and I'm just too lazy to fix it... and thanks

[RandMod6]

all we need now is secret decoder rings..

[darkmoonz]

speaking of which, are there any going on right now? i was scrolling through the list of stuff in the forums, but i don't have enough time to scroll through... so, anyone wanna give out some suggestions?

[Tregis]

Yeah, same here. I just got in on teh ILB thing here at teh end, not enough time in my life to really get involved but a really cool thing. How do you find about them early on, so I could get involved? Are there any getting started now? or starting soon? Or is that the whole adventure, disconvering them as you go?
I know lots of questions, but as had been said beofre
I am a very curious gir...er...boy...

I have a nice story to relate.

Tonight at the Webster, NY, DVD cache, i walked in a little before 9:00. there were already some 20 people there, none of whom i had ever seen in the fForums, at the phones, or in chat. fFanboys, all. Not that there's anything wrong with that ..

so anyway. eventually alaranth shows up, and soon after, nate arrives. ahhh, fField tested axon hunters. and, well, they walked right up to me. we've only really met a couple times, in truth. but here we were, sharing a like mind, and commiserating of our own nature.

So, i think the beekeepers will remain very much in contact, with a very strong mutual think-pool.
