h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Coming home, coming home,
Hootoo's coming home.
Had a Fright! Worried at night,
But Hootoo’s coming home.
Robbie Stamp, He’s our Champ,
Best placed as our Chair,
Ben and Z worked tirelessly,
For a result, just and Fair.
Peer Review, Entries too.
And our trusty Post.
The Underguide was nearly fried
All was nearly toast.

Neosis, to assist,
Saving forums all,
Chat rooms thrive, they’ll survive
Auntie Beeb’s great Fall.
The workshops? Never stop.
They will follow through.
Flea Market? Dodgy Lit?
Also ‘Baster, Brunel and Goo.
Convo threads? They’re not dead,
Update’s coming too.
And the Meets? They’re really neat,
So welcome to The New HooToo!!!

With sincere apologies...

To the tune of 'The New World Symphony’ by Anton Dvorak.

Neosis --> Noesis

Any chance you could change the chat room line?

How about

"The Community thrives, we'll survive"?

Better?

>"The Community thrives, we'll survive"?,

ABSOLUTELY NOT

It has to be something thoroughly stupid and silly.

You know my choice of 'Sporting Occasion'...but there must be lots more thoroughly stupid choices out there.

MMF it's a thumbs down from me.

This was my other option.

But I do wonder how long it will last!

Non- comprehendy, Effers

There is no sporting link mentionedQ

MMF

Nope.

I vote for something totally stupid. Otherwise what's the point?

MMF it all sounds rather jolly hockey sticks to me.

I don't see any connection with lyrics like that and my idea of h2g2.

But others may disagree.

Some pc types may like it?

Thanks Effers, although I still don't understand the complaint, but never mind.

My thought was that it was a recognition of a point in history, and was meant to be a reference to D.N.A.'s ideals.

Which was not 'something totally stupid. Otherwise what's the point?'

But I'm not going to contest your viewpoint. I can't afford myself the luxury of the wasted emotion on such a wonderful day.

MMF

For christ sakes newhootoo has just happened.

We're all quite vulnerable.

That's where we're at.

MMF, that's the yellow badgerine tune!

(nice one ).

I'm not. I'm MMF.

Says so up there.

MMF

A theme song is something fundamental about our identity. Like an anthem.

I don't want to be thinking about that just now.

It's too raw.

Anyway kea likes your ideas. But I don't.

We don't need a theme song, we need an anthem - People's Republic of Hootoo!

And why doesn't the profanity filter pick up blaspheming???

Maybe someone could fix that too?

Totally unnecessary!



MMF

Just a thought.

Maybe just a little light-hearted song, to honour the new mood of hootoo?

It was only meant as a bit of levity.

Not a Genghis Khan all-conquering March tune.

Never mind.

Forget it. I'll not bother next time.

So much for Community Spirit!

MMF

What blaspheming?

Christ almighty you get censored here for virtually nothing...

I just gave an honest opinion.

MMF get real. It's all very raw at present.

Can't you get that?

I'm going to unsub from a few convos like this because I'm finding it quite difficult to even know how different it is from yesterday.

Sorry if I've upset you.
