Being still relatively new to HIVE (I initially made an account to check out Splinterlands then forgot about it), there is an incredible amount to discover.
Many of the posters and community members were early members and builders on Steemit and were here at the birth of HIVE. There's friendships and acquaintances that go back on almost a decade now.
In some ways HIVE is like an MMO or a virtual word, though perhaps more like a MUD for those of you old enough to remember when we actually played text-based games.
"You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here"
A few might get that reference! They layers and corners of HIVE are fascinating, and what has been done and created here (and will be created here) is amazing.
