kea ~ Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small, unregarded but very well read blue and white website Started conversation Jun 30, 2011
TC posted a really good question on the FAQ thread: >> Re Amy's question about introducing friends to the site ... what is the policy on this? Surely it is in the site's interest to attract more researchers, but how do we go about doing this, and, if such advertising is successful, how are we going to cope with the influx of people unused to our ways? Too much inane chat

indeed it might change, as it should, though we might occasionly hope gradually.
On a personal level i am planning to invite a couple of friends who will enjoy the site, but am only going to do so after the move - otherwise it will merely put them off

I'm definitely of 2 minds about this. I've said all along that I'd wait until after we'd settled in. On the other hand, I'm going to be actually seeing quite a few of the folks I'm wanting to bring in well before any estimates for the move (I'll be 300 miles from home in 2-3 weeks) and it's a lot easier to show someone a site if you can sit at their computer
After all, I've thought for years that it'd be really 
if it turned out that I was related to someone on h2g2 (especially a friend)--here's my chance to guarantee it
