That's my site. I can bump it higher if it's "really" bugging you. I just added it in with the "Corporate" sites, since BBC isn't exactly a "fansite".

Anyway, what do you guys think? I haven't slept in the last two months getting http://www.HHGTTGOnline.com finished. Not bad for a Yank, huh? smiley - winkeye

Note: it's also accessible via the easier to remember URL:

A site started by DNA himself and perpetuated by thousands of contributers isn't a *fansite* smiley - huh

h2g2 certainly isn't a fansite. It is not about a work of fiction; it is the Guide. The actual one.

Jake, baby, let me clue ya in, speaking as a yank who's been on HERE, Douglas Adams' OWN site, for almost six years....dude, you're a little late to the party. But better late than NEVER.

Doubt I'll visit but, then, this one is the GUIDE. Read here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/A550955

And as for a fansite, who better than the BBC? They broadcast the original radio series 20 years ago from which all else came! (Pssst...I think they're fans!)

Sorry, Jake, that was a tad rude...

However, the reason *I* probably wouldn't go to your site is that it's very movie-oriented, and I'm not in to that.

And it's very commercial (you have a link at the bottom which says something about "you, too, can make money by linking. click here to find out more..."

The BBC has NO advertising on H2G2. Nada. The birth of this site was attempted as a commercial site, but it was a no-go. And that's when the BBC stepped in. People in the Community here chafe at that, sometimes (because it involves moderation and House Rules), but it's enabled the community to function as Douglas Adams himself saw it doing, AS as online community.
