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

What an exciting day!

It's not finished yet, it supports current skins and it'll lead to less downtime?

Surely any complaining here is just "I don't like change!"

It strikes me that the volunteers must be feeling the need for a break by now...

but not just yet, please?
Here, have some , there's pliny enough to go round.

You're doing a damn fine job.

Pliny doesn't "support current skins".

You will be able to keep on using the current skins in the old system, or you can move to Pliny.

Later we'll try and get a version of Pliny that looks like the current old skins, but that will be a good way down the road.

I think 603 meant that h2g2 will support current skins, and with Pliny taking the load there should be less downtime.

At least I hope that's what he meant

If you want to know more about Pliny, you can read an interview with Pastey here: A87754990 (Hot off the press.)

Please take a look around the rest of while you're at it. It's another bumper issue, lots to see. Whatever skin you view it in.

It was, yeah. Just clarifying that there's not really a reason to complain.

Some folks don't need a reason.

And some folks won't listen to reason.

re:- Thursday voting - are "we" like the beeb ? no politics or mickey taking ?

Sorry, Prof.
politics - too late
mickey taking - can you read this?

Hi Prof

No, we are not like the BBC, where there was a requirement not to discuss electorial matters when voting was taking place. I never understood the actual details of that rule, at the time.

Now we no longer belong to the BBC and as long as nothing defamatory is posted, I think you may safely express your opinion and discuss relevant matters without being moderated.

Thank you both

it was just that I STILL vote for Guy Fawkes as parliament is a good source of "P" taking humour

I got ads, I am not grumbling and knew they were on they were on the way at some point, is just that I wasn't expecting it

have I missed an announcement somewhere?

and the thought crossed my mind are they supposed to be there, I am assuming they are

They *are* supposed to be there, so that the owners don't have to run this out of their own pockets totally - soon we can pay for our own costs!

I haven't got any ads yet. Are they supposed to be in that big, white, empty square on the right? Should I complain?

I haven't got any either.

I'm complaining at the lack of ads...

Oh I can see then now

>> have I missed an announcement somewhere?

On Thursday 19 April, I announced that along with other advantages, Pliny would bring the ability to place advertisements and sponsorships, allowing h2g2 to earn the money it needs to support itself and expand.

Happy Nerd

Oh, they are there now. I almsot didn't notice.
