We are pleased to announce Hiveworkshop's latest, and very much unanticipated feature: Bzzzz!

Bzzzzzz is the Hive's first, one-of-a-kind assistant, allowing users new and old to experience the number one WarCraft III modding site in a way never before seen in website history! Painstakingly forged by @Ralle over the last year in an undisclosed basement, Bzz is designed to help users in a variety of ways: from simple queries regarding site navigation to more complex issues, such as which @frostwhisper model to download for their upcoming project.

We've got many features planned for Bzzzzzzzz, including, but not limited to:

• Map recommendations by Bzzz
• Bzzzz-assisted model sanity checks
• Themed Bzz skins for our Hive Heroes
• Bz-integrated honeycomb purchases
• and much, much more

Using Bzzzz is not optional. It's here to stay, and there's nothing we can do about it. Nothing I can do about it. If you're reading this message, please. For the love of all that you hold dear, send help.
