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

i quess that i'm comming apon the end of this new person week, but anyways here i am.
i've been having problems find a forum to chat in, i was at the pool for a while
- but everyone was having a water fight and kind of ignored the fact that i was there
how do you find places to chat?

Well here is quite a good place Why not try the Forum and Firkin pub, the Guardian Angels will look after you and you can always see what is going on my page!

how do you get to the Forum and Firkin pub? i'm still lose in this place.
although i have noticed that it is highly addictive.

hold on I will try and find the URL for you!

I find that the best way to find forums to chat in (and people to chat with) is to look up guide entries that interest you, see who's posting to those guide entries, then check out those people's home pages and their other guide entries. That way you have something in common with folks--the guide entries you were interested in.

Forum and Firkin is at http://www.h2g2.com/A187508

Another friendly place is the Aroma Café at http://www.h2g2.com/A202924

I list of forums and clubs is available at http://www.h2g2.com/A344756. Another list with descriptions is available at http://www.h2g2.com/A270325

Hope this helps. Also, you can always check the five busiest forums on the front page.

http://www.h2g2.com/A187508 - the Forum and Firkin pub.

Another good way to meet people is to look at the top five forums on the front page

Don't you love simulposts, Abi?

Wouldn't it be better to go to the five loneliest forums? That way your voice wouldn't get lost in the din. How do they decide which are the busiest/least busy etc. Do the researchers who write the least busy ones get urgent messages from the h2g2 staff telling them to brush up the entry to make it more interesting, or do the h2g2 staff get ragged on by the researchers telling them that it would have been much more interesting if they hadn't edited the stuffing out of the entry?

we have a team of super intelligent white mice who monitor the site constantly Or were the techies lying when they told me that

Well, Abi, if there are those super-intelligent white mice, then could it perhaps be more accurate to say that they have a team of humans that go on at ridiculous lengths with this h2g2 thing while they admire the pretty pictures overall?

probably yes

I made it! Hello! But I'm going to sleep now.
I'll pop in again sometime! [Star Trek Beaming Out Noise]

Abi, don't tell them about the white mice !!!

They will sooner or later deduce that whilst the mice frantically run marathons across the keyboards, doing the real work at H2G2 Towers. The employees are off playing twister & chatting on-line about each others stalled lovelife's...

- Simply, High Spirited.

I am not saying anything else without legal representation.

C'mon Abi. You know you can trust us

hmmmmmmmmm I am not sure...

In the words of one Mrs Doyle (of 'Father Ted' fame): Ah, Go on. Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, *GO ON*!

whats in it for me?

Careful, fellow researchers: she's still kvetching over her lovelife, remember? It's just the white mice talking...
