Researchers, Submissions and Welcome to Earth
Well, we've been going just over a week now, and there are already 6,000 researchers registered with h2g2 - so you're in good company.
To everyone looking at this web site, thank you, and thank you for your patience. Our servers are currently returning answers slightly faster than Deep Thought would, but to be honest we might have to organise a Steward's Enquiry to verify that. We're keeping an update page to let you know how things are progressing.

Welcome to the Earth Edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which we will be calling h2g2 for short. And to confuse you. Which we suspect we already have. If you want to know what h2g2 is all about, we've prepared a welcome message for you. We hope it will clear up any confusion.
We hope you will join us. To read and explore h2g2, simply follow the links on this page. If you want to contribute, simply click on the 'register' button on the left-hand side of any h2g2 page. All we require is your email address - and nothing else! We will not sell or give away your email address, or bombard you with junk email, so please - register now, and start discussing the possibilities of the Guide with others like - and unlike - yourself.
If you require more information, simply hit the "Don't Panic" button, which is at the top of every page of h2g2.
Thank you - and welcome.
