I say either Frood(s), or Towel Bearers (but I think towel bearers should be reserved for people who have had their guide entries approved)

Hmmm, I don't see why we would want to do that! Having some entries approved is an accomplishment in its own right, but it has nothing to do with being capable and willing to help people around. At least that's what I think

I think for once me and Festival agree. Some people who use the forums don't intend to write articles.

Yups!! And even if they do, it might not even be with the intention to submit it for approval, such as my "SETI@home project" ( http://www.h2g2.com/A193231 ) and my "Meet the H2G2-researchers for SETI@home" ( http://www.h2g2.com/A195879 )
Oops... you caught me spamming!

Hi Jimi X!
Yups, maybe they are. But because of the temporary nature of the project itself and the fact that certain events may occur which force alteration of those pages, they're -at least in my opinion- NOT the kind of pages suitable for submission. Ain't that right?

I just meant that Towel Bearer would be a good term for people who have had articles accepted.
My vote lies with Frood.

Oh yeah, do you think you check out my site later on today? I'm writing essay for english, and I want to start a forum on the subject of "What is Poetry?"

Well, I've given you my first opinion on that one just now. But if you have reason to be happy about that? I'm not quite sure.

But they are exactly the kind of thing the h2g2 POST is looking for. You can find it at http://www.h2g2.com/U54963.
Vegiman is the big boss of the "unofficial online h2g2 newspaper thingie" but I'm sure they'll want to give you a blurb!

Hehehe, I've already mentioned them there once, right after he set up that page. I've never seen any proof that they were going to do anything with the suggestion (not even a reply that the items were unsuitable for use in the POST), and it doesn't really matter either.
In my opinion these pages are doing just fine on their own, and I'm not going to beg for them to give me some publicity, since I feel I *should* really be doing this on my own
