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

Fine, fine, forget the fire thing. How about you write them saying that if they don't put us in the post you will have to tell the Organized Union of Brick-eaters that CBS in cooperation with H2g2 is sending lasers through tv and computer screens to activate the computer chip placed by motorola in my skull.

Is that what they're doing? I always thought the whole plan was instituted by Total Hegemony Enterprises (Yellow division). My sources deep within the organization tell me that T.H.E.(Y) have been working on it for years in secret collaboration with Nokia and the makers of Pez. Shows what I know.

You know, speaking of the whole "Who are 'THEY'" thing, I think I've realized something-what was the exact moment when we started loosing authors? The moment we moved from "Ask H2G2" to "The Gam Room Storytellers". What looked like a good, sanity saving idea at the time may be what killed us. No new authors coming in from a curious posting in the forums, and some old authors may have been left behind because they never look at the final post, they just noticed the new chapter before reading the end of the old one, and thus missed the link changings.

So, which first-write the POST, or move the forum?

We'll we did lose some traffic but It is annoying to have to wait for all the past ask h2g2 conversations going back to 32 weeks to load if we want to start a new chapter. I think we might want to try some advertisement in ask h2g2, the misc. conversation forum, and contacting the post. I say, contact the post first.

I concur.

I kinda wish Anonymouse was here, she was very decisive in getting things done. She made the story entry and started a few of the new chapters too. Well one of us has to do something, and I vote for not me.

*laughs* There are times when I wish for the entire thread on one page.. However, my browser is much happier this way.

Now.. What was it that needed done?

I think it was "get people to come here and write the story". Then again, in my last major post I was going on about Pez, so I'm probably not the best source for information.

Hi, 'Nonnie. Long time no see.

Anyway, we could write an article for the Post. Or...

You know, one of the post reporters writes about places on h2g2. MAybe we could get this place mentioned in the next "Quick Pics" thing he does. Or we could just make another "Collaberative Efforts" entry.

Surely someone here is a Post reporter?

'Nonnie

We should get a story going again.. though..
anyone in for that?

There's no point in starting a story if people don't know about it. I think the POST should be able to help out with getting the word out, they did wonders for ICARUS when it was still around.

Well.. people didn't know about the first story starting either, until someone just started it one day

Right, but people knew about "Ask h2g2". There wasn't any marketing, so to speak, needed to get people to the place it was at. Now that it's on its own page, the word needs to get out that it's here. I mean there's what, several thousand entries in the Guide? The odds of finding a specific page when you're not looking for it are pretty slim all things considered. I'll ask Shazz next time I get a moment.

Yes, please.. and thank you..

You're absolutely right, of course, which is one reason I was hoping to find an artist in the crowd willing to do us up a float for the parade last year... I tried, but alas, I'm no artist, and I spent more time working out how to build a yellow brick road than most people probably spent on their whole float.. and alas.. I never finished.
