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

Welcome to h2g2, Chris! My name is Shea, and I am an ACE. I'm a real person, not an automated reply, I promise! ACEs are a group of volunteers that welcome and try to help new Researchers. If you want to ask me a question, or need help with anything, just hit the "Reply" button, leave a message, and I'll pop back here the next time I’m on h2g2 and help you in any way I can!

Sounds like you're a techy, traveling, rocking scary-dude! I think you'll fit in quite well around here!

h2g2 is a wonderful site! It's literally a guide to Life, the Universe and Everything written by Researchers like you! You can write Guide Entries, read, and you can talk to other Researchers. Douglas Adams wrote an Entry explaining his vision for h2g2 at A550955 if you're interested. If you'd like to contribute to h2g2 with a Guide Entry of your own, check out the Writing Guidelines at A53209 which should help to get you started.

There's lots to keep you busy around here if writing Entries isn't your cup of tea. There’s a tour you might want to read: A219638 ... which is a great introduction to the website, and our weekly newspaper The Post has a page of links to clubs and societies around h2g2 at A660304 which should help you get in touch with Researchers with similar interests. You should also consider bookmarking and regularly visiting the <./> h2g2 FrontPage </.>. There's plenty of interest there that changes every day!

If you ever want to talk to a Researcher, just click on their name. That will take you to their Personal Space, and you can leave them a message there (like I'm doing now!) by clicking on the 'Leave A Message' button.

Most importantly Chris, have fun! You might find yourself meeting some great new friends! I know I have!

Shea,

Thanks for the greeting. So nice to have a personal greeting than an automated responce.

I look forward to making the most of h2g2 and not scaring too many people.

Thanks again.

Chris

Hi Chris,

Don't worry about scaring people. They can just

We have lots of useful smileys, after all!
