Proposed anti-H2G2: yea or nay

Ahhhh...I understand what you mean. Yes, those forums are for fun and doofing around. I thought you meant creating an entirely new fantasy version of the guide, not just a fantasy forum.

Proposed anti-H2G2: yea or nay
jqr Posted Jun 21, 2000
What I was thinking of with the anti-H2G2 was like Jorge Luis Borges's Library of Babylon, which includes every possible book, including gibberish and variations on true books. For the near term, however, I should think it's better to keep the guide on track documenting real life, and leave the fantasy worlds to the forums.
On a related note, is there some policy about guide entries on criminal activity/drug use/contraception/abortion or other controversial topics? Can I submit a guide entry called "Cat Burglary Made Easy" or "Lockpicking" or even "Gone in 60 seconds in 3 easy steps"? What about "Bongs" or "Blunts" or "Freebasing for the novice addict"? Are there standards for this kind of thing?
And related to that, how about a new forum for "Guide Entry Names least likely to be approved?"
