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

Are we aware that hootoo made the news last week? Only I missed any discussions there might have been.

There was a thread....

Ah, here it is: F20154027?thread=8192285

Those dont translate for me in Barlesque - but never mind if its already been done to death. Interestingly, in the course of trying to fix the url, I discovered I could make a post to a non-existent conversation. Handy if ever I feel like yelling into the void. Which I often do. Try it. Where does this take you? http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/forums/A148907/conversation/view/F20154027?thread=819228

It took me to the h2g2 community consortium.

>Handy if ever I feel like yelling into the void.<

Not really, despite the fact that you are shouting into the void, apparently the void also has the protection of the profanity filter

Now I understand the comments on the Consortium page...

I found it cathartic.

Strange. It gives me...


Post to a Conversation

:

Oh you post to a conversation... on the Consortium page.

So does anyone hear me yelling?

Yea, I did. And I was wondering what all the yelling was about.

Give me a moment and I'll point you to a real void in hootoo...

This should do it... This should take you to a dark and forgotten corner of h2g2 where deleted threads once ended up. This was back in the days when you could hot link to a forum just by typing the letter F followed by the forums assigned number. The first being F1 <--Here the characters "F1" would be highlighted in blue indicating a link. That link would then take you here, I believe. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F1?showthread=5165976


Watch out for the bouncing HooHenge Stones.

Yes Ed, we can hear you. Forgive my sense of humour failure but that's a working forum, not one for random ranting.

I'l get me coat

Maybe it&#39;s a bit late for this but Geggs, your link gives me a 404.

And btw, since when do we encourage smoking?

>>Yes Ed, we can hear you. Forgive my sense of humour failure but that&#39;s a working forum, not one for random ranting.

Say what?

Whatever I did I only did unintentionally. All I did was edit a url, and I found myself taken to some mysterious place, with no indication where. I didnt even post.

How was I even meant to know I was inconveniencing you? How am I to blame for bad software?

Ed... blame 2legs. It must be his fault.
