I was interested in what people thought of the recent era where we've
seen an especially big proliferation of new ARGs, and the
proliferation of particularly strong communities (i.e. ones that have
persisted beyond the end of the ARG's that inspired them) for playing,
studying, and inventing them.

I do believe it did some unique things - such as inspiring people to
believe that ARGs could work, and showing them how, in a way that
other projects didn't, and at a time when Majestic had freshly crashed
and burned - but I wasn't trying to imply that it was the first or
most important of the ARGs. I'm sorry if it sounded that way.
