Introduction | Reading | Talking | Contributing | Registering | Personal Space | Find Out More

h2g2 is unique because the Guide isn't just about reading and writing, it's about discussion too. The h2g2 Community is a bright and busy one, and as well as writing Guide Entries, h2g2's Researchers have created all sorts of wonderful personal diaries, pithy conversations, virtual worlds and collaborative masterpieces.

The h2g2 Community is friendly, fascinating and fun, and there are loads of places where you can meet people on the same wavelength - or, indeed, a completely different one.

There's a whole page dedicated to Talking about the Guide, but here are a few places where you can find people talking away:

• Ask the Community: The Ask h2g2 and How Do I? pages are where you can find out what your fellow Researchers think on absolutely any topic, or find out the answer to the question that has been annoying you for ages.

• Miscellaneous Chat: This is where you can go to chat with other Researchers about what their favourite colour is, what they like to eat, what music they're listening to, whether they prefer cats or dogs - anything at all! Think of Miscellaneous Chat as a Sunday afternoon spent chewing the fat with your friends.

• Feedback Forum: We thrive on feedback, and you'll find lots of people talking about h2g2 in the Feedback Forum. This is also where you can find loads of people talking about the h2g2 Community in the Community Soapbox.

To post to the Conversations on h2g2, you must be registered as a Researcher (though everyone can read the Conversations). We'll come to registration later on in the tour.
