Within Hubris

TBA

Hello, everyone. I am CircleHunter, a long-time member of the Within Hubris community and the owner of this wiki. Since 2012, maintaining and completing the archival of this ARG has been my life's work. If you'd like to contact me, you can leave a message on my talk page, contact me on Discord (CircleHunter#0423), or tweet me @CircleHunter.

About me

I'm a former journalism major at Marshall University, now working in customer service at a certain retail giant (it rhymes with Paul Blart). In my limited spare time, I contribute to some other wikis, play games, and wonder when I'll finally be able to see Blue Öyster Cult in concert.

I am also in the process of collecting every Haunter card that has ever been released, as well as Firefly and Serenity media.

Why I'm here

I've put several years of my life into this place, and the community as a whole. When I joined Within Hubris back in 2011, I was but a wee 15-year-old and had hardly a reason to consider myself worthwhile. After joining, I met some wonderful people, and those people are still close to me to this day. More and more come from time to time, and I'm glad to have had the opportunity to call them my friends.

Being in this community made me feel much more self worth, even though I really didn't do much for the ARG itself, considering I joined just before it was put on hiatus. I like to think that when Immortallies, my predecessor, stepped down from the wiki, the reason she put me in charge was because I still had the passion about the story. For a long time, that seemed like a rarity and I often found myself wondering if it's all been for naught.

And that brings us to now. The story is finally continuing and all of the love and effort I've poured into this project over the years is finally being fully realized. I am so incredibly happy to contribute this resource to the community. I'm thankful for those who support me in this continuing journey. The last decade has been leading to this.

Oh, and I was right. Methods is canon. Called it eight years ago.

My projects

In addition to this wiki, I've been known to occasionally take a break and do other things for a second.

Complete archive of youshouldnthavedonethat.net

In 2016, the long-lost youshouldnthavedonethat.net was recovered at great expense. After a short stint being featured in the long-running spin off ARG Johnisdead, it had served its intended purpose and was graciously allowed to host a complete recreation of the site's history, page by page and word for word, with one notable exception (Nekko's biography on the About page was never properly archived and is considered lost), but that's a story for another time.

Of course, I have only contributed to this effort. Credit goes following people, in chronological order of their contributions:

  • Kafeite, who in 2010 archived the site as it originally appeared
  • Anegative, who in 2010 and 2011 archived the post-Moon Children incarnation of the site
  • Tyler, who rescued the domain name from its $600 purgatory and formed a new vision with it
  • John, who rebuilt the site according to the archives of Kafeite
  • Myself, who added the remaining pages and continues to maintain the site

Fan Drowned (cancelled)

At one time, I ran a blog called Fan Drowned, which served as a database of sorts for fan-made Ben Drowned content, specifically videos. I started it way too late, and as a result of not having this idea earlier, much content has been lost as users sometimes remove videos and, in some cases, delete their YouTube accounts. However, I've countered this problem with my own solution. I've downloaded literally every BEN video I could find on YouTube, backed them up, and am storing them on my own in case something like that happens to the remaining content.

I posted a new video from my archive once every three days at 11:30 PM EST, and on super special update days, I altered the usual post schedule to fit around them suitably. At the last count, I had a total of 328 videos. This was roughly enough content to keep my blog active for about 2.5 years.

Unfortunately, the project has been cancelled. It began to feel like a chore, despite my love of the concept. I wish I could say that wasn't the case. Maybe one day I will find the time to set a year's worth of content to auto-post, though. Who knows?

Want list

Here are some ARG-related things that I would love to find at some point.
