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

Er, thanks, Icy.

I just wanted to say thank you to the BBC Editors for all their hard work. We appreciate the effort it's taken to keep h2g2 running all these years.

We are looking forward to the challenges and opportunities ahead.

And no, we are definitely not panicking...where's my tinfoil hat?

Finally.
And to whom it concerns: So long and ...

So long as I can keep the hem of my vest from catching in the works everything should be OK... What's that ripping sound?

Woohoo too for Noohootoo!

Thanks to all at the BBC for their support over the years.

Does striking out on our own mean that we've grown up now?

And tomorrow could so easily have been the very last day....

It all blows my tiny little mind.

Thanks you eds, past and present.

"Does striking out on our own mean that we've grown up now?"

I hope not... half of the current Researchers would have to leave!

Hootoo under the BBC has definitely been A Good Thing. Much thanks!

Confident it will continue and grow in that style.

Yeah thanks Aunty, and Eds .

But yes time to grow up a bit.

Don't worry Tony/Mr. D we all know that you can check out but you can never leave.

Why is no-one here thanking mods?

Oh heck I will.

Indeed, thank you to the present Mods and sytems. A lot of really silly things may vanish for a time, but with even a good moment of consideration ... Stuff comes back as it should, despite wonky software or fingers.

must pack the old suitcase just in case

Shall I call the movers or just leave matters to infinite improbability?

Thank you BBC Editors for your stewardship over the past years.

Wait for it.

Along with Jimcracker7, I would like to thank all of the BBC Editorial staff for their dedication in keeping Douglas Adams vision alive through the h2g2 site.

Wake me up when the transition is complete.

I'm a bit worried there's something wrong with me because I do feel quite scared as well.

Its a total change in identity in a way. I can't explain clearly..but to me that's always risky. I'm not wanting to be negative just expressing something that seems real to me.

Yes of course there's every reason to be optimistic..but change is always a risk. I like to face that...and its scary..but no worries I'm a bit of an adrenalin junkie Though I'm trying to calm that down these days. But still I like to express that anxiety here.

What Icy saysplus TA! Ed's from me

There's nothing wrong with being afraid. This isn't just change, it's Change. A complete shift in the way we think and work. I hope... really hope... that it's going to be positive, but that doesn't stop change being scary. I'm totally with you on that one!
