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

Hi there! Welcome to h2g2!

I'm Superfrenchie, one of the ACEs (Assistant Community Editors), that is : volunteers who help new Researchers find their way around this site, the galaxy-famous Guide to Life, the Universe and Everything.


If you're wondering what to do, now that you've found us, might I suggest you read the quick guide to h2g2 ( A42445226 ), for an overview of the site?



Then, depending on what you're interested in, you have quite a few options with the different forums (fora? forumses!) :
- You could have a look around Ask h2g2 ( A148907 ), which is where you can ask questions,
- or Miscellaneous Chat ( A121096 ), which is more, err, well, for miscellaneous discussions.
- If you're interested in science, try the Science Explained forum ( A4108330 ).
- And for games and fun, head to the Games Room ( A4167605 ). Quite a few long-running games there.



Subscribing to the Announcements page ( A85834173 ) is a great idea, so you'll know when something happens!

And our newspaper, The Post, is a really interesting read too.
(you can access this week's edition thanks to one of the buttons at the top of the page)

Or you could read a couple of Entries from the Edited Guide. Or even write your own.



Also, you can find a list of the latest activity (where people are currently posting) at the bottom of the front page.

Or you can go to someone's personal space and have a look at their conversation list, see if something catches your eye, and dive in. It's an adventure!
To go to someone's personal space, just click on their name, and voila!
(Nothing is private here, so everyone can read everything. You can find more information about Netiquette on h2g2 here : A901838 ).



Most of all, wander around, have a look here and there, get a little lost, ask your way around, jump in... Meet the locals!
(I see you already have, well done!)



If you have any questions, you can post a reply in this conversation, or even ask someone else if I'm not around (I'm not jealous ).
We're a friendly bunch.


And whatever happens, remember : you can get back to your personal space at any time by clicking at the button in the top right-hand corner of the page.
