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

I couldn't get into H2G2 for the last few days. Is this no longer worthy of comment?

And come on, folks - did nobody watch the SpaceX launch? No thread on that?

You were not alone. I was effectively locked out of h2g2 all weekend. I did notice the Pliny front page was working at one point, but I still couldn't get to my Ripley page and conversation list.

Also, at some point when I still could access the site, the horribly annoying Cookies notification had returned in force on every page opening.

Yes I also noticed. But you're right; once upon a time, such an outage would've spawned a thread of many pages.

Is there still a nowhere-2go-2 page anywhere?

Well, it's hard to start a thread about the site being down... when the site is down.

Ah! But that's the point. There used to be a hooto refuge for the displaced masses of the site to congregate at whenever it was down. Used to be at yahoo groups, then something *noel*... I forget. So just wondered if there was anywhere nowadays.

I believe I saw a comment on Facebook or Twitter about the outage, but I can't recall precisely who or where.


I think those alternative spaces from the interregnum like Nowhere2Go2 (n2g2) might still be online, but are basically abandoned town . There's a couple of generic HHGttG themed boofcake pages (like Galactic Hitchhikers) where you'll find a lot of current and former researchers but that's not really what you're looking for. Maybe there's some place I don't know about that someone will pop in on this thread and enlighten us to.

I'm not one of the ones who could enlighten you, but I thought I'd just pop in here anyway...

I never even noticed the outage... which I'm sure says something deeply something about something... I'm just not sure what about what

I so rarely turn the PC on thesedays, only having done so today to order up some medication and E-Mail my specialist - last time I checked accessing the site off a tablet, or phone, was a waste of time HooToo needs a android/apple app

Yeah... don't hold your breath. This site is on life support only.

Just for the record, I noticed the site was offline too. (and online, an offline again). This time I was lucky to have remembered my password.

I was locked out for 5 days..then I got back in yesterday and this evening I was locked out again.

So are we all here?

Happy as can be. All good friends and jolly good Compan eee!




Sorry about that outburst. Sometimes it gets to you.

A visiting psychiatrist stood up in front of a group of patients, and said, "Why are we all here?"

A voice form the back of the room shouted, "Because we're not all there."

Well, everyone has to be somewhere

I can't argue with that.

Or at least somewhen.
