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

My name is Feisor and I am an ACE (Assistant Community Editor) here at h2g2. It's my job to welcome you to the site and hopefully show you around a little. I AM a real person, not an automated reply not an automated reply not an automated reply .

Welcome to h2g2 – not just the friendliest on-line community but an incredibly huge, living, breathing guide to Life, the Universe and Everything. It’s compiled by researchers just like you and it's something YOU can take part in. You can write entries on all manner of subjects, and if it's something you think would look good in our Edited Guide (where all the best research goes), you can submit it to Peer Review Take a look at the <./>writing-guidelines</.> for more information on that.

I hope when you get to know us a little better you'll open your personal space and tell us a little about yourself - but there's no rush - and it's not compulsory

We ACEs are volunteers here to assist new researchers so if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
You can leave a message on my space just by clicking on my name at the top of this message or by hitting the reply button below - it won't hit back (usually).

I have made a "Hints and Links for New Researchers" page at <./>A719840</.> - if you go there it will lead you to all sorts of places which will help find your way around and get to know this wonderful place. It should keep you busy for a while

Oh, and don’t forget to bookmark not only your space but the H2G2 <./>FrontPage</.> - it’s a great way to stay in touch with what’s happening and leads to all sorts of corners which you may otherwise miss.

Do some exploring and you'll find that the site has everything from the nonsense japing to debates on any number of diverse subjects. Many lasting friendships and relationships have been born on hootoo. It's kind of an online pub and encyclopaedia.

I am sure that you will love this community as much as we do There's lots of things to see, clubs to join and people to meet - please don't be shy - just jump right in - this is a friendly place. But be careful - it can become quite addictive - believe me I know



Enjoy!!
Have fun!!!
and above all !!!

Hello from Seattle, Feisor
Thanks for the warm welcome! I stumbled upon h2g2 when I enabled the Weird and Wonderful section of my BBC homepage. I had known that h2g2 was an abbreviation for The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but didn't know about the virtual community, social networking phenomenon and the earth edition to the Guide. What fun!! I am a big Douglas Adams fan, have read and re-read his books, have watched hours of the original Hitchhikers Guide on our PBS and went to the recent film.
I will soon take a more active role in the community. I haven't had the time to create my profile.
I have read some of the delightful entries, and have plans to contribute.
Stay warm and enjoy the Season,
celticzoe

As it says above, you're welcome

"Weird and wonderful" - yep - that's us

You sound like the kind of person who will fit in perfectly

Take your time .... one of the nice things about this place is that there's no rush, you can respond if and when you wish

Don't forget to open your space - even just "hi" will do - you can always change it and add to it later, It's a great way for people to find out a little about who they are speaking to, and you can find out a little about them by just clicking on the name at the top of their message

If you have any questions about hootoo (as we call h2g2) or need any help just drop me a line here and I'll get back to you asap

Have fun
