A Conversation for Ask h2g2
Post BBC hootooers
Baron Grim Posted Jan 20, 2016
I joined PreRupert, but I didn't stick around long after that. When I came back, the BBC had taken over.
Damn it! I still wish I had a copy of the e-mail I received from TDV inviting me to h2g2. I had signed on with them in anticipation of the long delayed Starship Titanic and got a curious email from them inviting me to check this place out. That was at least four computers and two email addresses ago.

I think I joined n2g2 too. Wasn't it on Yahoo, like the Rupert replacement 
service?

Yup, some like jwf were still posting years and years later. They may even still do so.
You know though, something tells me it wasn't actually set up *during* rupert, it may well have been set up for people to fly off in a rage to when the BBC moderation type stuff came in after Rupert. Remember the Zaphodistas!

Nah, no recent posts but the last posts were in July 2014 - that's some longevity

I certainly remember the Zaphodistas. Pierce's pirate ship is called "Blood of the Zaphodistas."

The revolution popped out for a ham sandwich. I'm sure it will be back any time now.

That's like the revolutionaries in Woody Allen's "Bananas" popping out to the Jungle Deli for sandwiches.

The revolution really is coming, it's just late like everything else.

The surest way to bog down a revolution is by letting it get caught up in the post office 
.
