Was talking to one of the admins of Hexbear yesterday and found out there is a whole lot of history to Hexbear and I would love to know more and I was told to say and I quote "Hey I'm mainly new to hexbear, please dump site lore on me like you're dumping slop in a pig trough"

So please, dump your lore on me, like I'm a piggy rolling waiting to role around in the mud

Edit:

Wait wait wait the infrahaz tried to make an account here? That could not have gone well.

There was once a struggle session about indoor cats vs outdoor cats that got so dramatic and lasted so long that it was elevated to the status of hexbear lore in and of itself.

The rock stacking discourse was every bit as bizarre, too.

Tbf i've grown to completely and totally agree with the anti-rockstacker crowd. Stop stacking rocks like holy shit I see them on one of my dog walks sometimes and kick them over now.

Me too, for sure. It was just bizarre that a discussion like that turned into what it became.

I think that was the first lore I learned about when I came here.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

It's just so ridiculous that it could never be let go.

I'd love to read that thread if you got that around.

The original thread probably got zapped. If you throw "outdoor cats" into the search bar you'll find residual spinoff threads that have some drama in them though. Drama threads about the drama thread about the drama threads. So to speak.
