Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Alright, I know that this is probably a shot in the dark with the few clues that I'm going to provide. However, I hope that the combined reading might of theRPGsite.com may be able to assist me.

This is a book that I read probably 25 or so years ago when I was an early teenager. I recently was having a discussion with my father-in-law about the next species to rise to intelligence on the planet once humans go extinct, and I brought up that I think that bees are a good candidate. I suddenly remember reading a book where there was a humanoid bee character that danced and flittered around. Now, it's bugging the hell out of me that I can't remember much of anything else about the book.

So, here are the few clues that I have to assist you:

1. It's a science-fiction book.

2. I believe that the main character was some kind of ursoid. There was an anthropomorphic race of bear-like creatures, and I think that the main character was one of them.

3. A secondary character was one of the anthropomorphic bee race. The author was very descriptive in the bees movements, and likened them to a dance. I think that a part of that races philosophy revolved around the concept of 'the dance.'

4. This might even have been a short story in one of those science-fiction compilation books that were popular back then.
