Welcome to h2g2, the place where you contribute to create the ever-expanding Guide to Life, the Universe, and Everything. You've just joined one of the friendliest and welcoming communities on the internet - congratulations! <magic>


My name is Vip, and I'm of of the Assistant Community Editors, known as ACEs, who you can find at A214796. We try to speak to everyone who signs up to make sure they're OK, offer them a cup of tea <tea>, that kind of thing. If you want to know more about h2g2, head over to the h2g2 Tour at A42445226. If you want to find out how you can join in, try A87766366.


By signing up to h2g2 you've created your own Space, where you can keep track of Entries you have written, conversations you are in, and tell the world a little about yourself. Click on the 'Edit Page' button to write something about how you found us, what you hope to do on here, and anything else you want to share. There's also a Journal feature for you to keep us informed about what's on your mind. Your Space really is your home on h2g2.


You can find conversations by exploring the site and other people's Spaces, but the main port of call is Askh2g2 at A148907, where you can ask questions large or small and join existing threads.


You can join in with helping to expand h2g2's Guide Entries by joining in Peer Review at A395589. You may also want to check out h2g2's Create project at U14992038, which has some ideas for users new and old.


All the best, and welcome to h2g2!

Current events: You are currently reading h2g2 in its new look, which is called Pliny. Pliny is still a work in progress so you may find that some things don't work. Our Tech team are working hard to iron out these bugs but you can choose to use one of the older skins. They're graphically a bit more dated but don't share those bugs. Once you've chosen your favourite, bookmark it so you don't have to come back to here each time to select it!
