[Trivia] I Love Bees and Lemon Tress

[linuxfan]

The name is registered to JMC Beauty Salons, nothing known to be in-game is related to that. And it was registered in 1997. That makes it pretty obvious that this isn't in-game. The links on the top are just them trying to generate traffic off some popular recent searches.

If you go to www.ilovebees.com/home/something it gives 404 if you go to www.ilovebees.com/home/something.html it gives blank page.. works with any variations just like bladeeblahljafsdf.ilovebees.com did. It doesn't give a blank page with .htm .shtm .shtml.... it's probably got nothing to do with the game, but it's interesting that it ends up like that. Must have something to do with the way they randomly create stuff?? It doesn't work on the www.ilovebees.com/anythingyouwant.html that gives 404, but if you go www.ilovebees.com/anydirectoryyouwant/anythingyouwant.html it gives blank page.

I think that these sites are in game.
The lemontrees.com site looks like it some just trying to act like it is in the game but I think it is because it has a link to www.killerbeeguy.com/ which has a link to www.bisbeemarquee.com/ which is a paper that does not exist is Bisbee AZ nor does the The Killer Bee Guy . I found this out by looking at the areaguides.net yellow pages and the paper is not listed.

i highly doubt an in-game site would have popups (ugh), thus I doubt lemontrees is in-game.

lemontrees.com is one of the fake/spam/spyware/adware search engines that are all over the place, domain-name squatters snap them up and set up the crappiest search engines known to man, all paid-advertiser sponsered links, not really a search engine at all... for example, if you click on Halo, you don't actually get Halo, you get a bunch of crap

those links are there just because that's what people have been searching for lately, they got lucky that that domain happens to appear next to ilovebees.com in some book, that's all

[RyoShin]

bisbeemarquee.com looks like it's just an online publication, and as such would not necessarily have a business address.

Also, I find internet yellow pages to be unreliable. If you really want to make sure, someone from Bisbee, Arizona is going to have to check it out (and probably The Killer Bee guy,) too.

Uncertain, but I don't think those are in-game.

The post on that message board is from March 10th 2004. The second domain mentioned is snatched up by a search engine advertiser (notice the words on the page indicate the search terms that are most common for the page). If that domain was pulled out of a hat for his example, then the bess domain was probably pulled out of a hat as well.

It's not uncommon for someone asking a question or making an example like that to avoid using their domain names.

At the point that the halo connection was found by the Unfiction folks, we found that usenet posting. At that time, it did nothing, so I suspect it was just created to caplitalize on the game.
