What pointless an timewasting 
activities can be done on h2g2?
For example Tube has just posted a question here to see how many characters you can get in a forum title. 
I have in the past looked at user pages starting from U1, U2 etc to see when the real researchers begin (Don't bother - I got bored very quickly).
What other sad and slightly geeky things such as these are there to do on h2g2?

I've done that with the user numbers. Have you tried putting really really high ones in? That can be fun.

I only tried about three but it was just like U10000000000000000000000
or something.
One went to U0, another to U76825433 or something and one ended up as a negative user number! How odd.

That was not silly, it was a scientific experiment! 
One could go to public discussions and post random comments like "Certainly not!", "What made you think that?". Have one comment each for about 100 discussions and you'll not only make it on the info page, but also make your name known to a lot of other researchers...

Maybe: Go digging for your oldest posting and revive that thread.

Memorise all 's?
Search h2g2 for "42"?

I may have been around a bit here but not very adventourous (apart from delving into lost entries as a scout) so this one missed me by
Now I know about it I'll have to try and climb the list.

At one point it was my ambition to get off the list. Now I am more mature, I only post sensible posts, not random rubbish.
(hahahahahahahahahahaha!)

Random rubbish is all I have brain power for tonight. How about reading the entire backlog of 'The Button' forum?
Key: Complain about this post
