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

My name is Feisor and I am an ACE (Assistant Community Editor) here at h2g2. It's my job to welcome you to the site and hopefully show you around a little. I AM a real person, not an automated reply not an automated reply not an automated reply .

Welcome to h2g2 – not just the friendliest on-line community but an incredibly huge, living, breathing guide to Life, the Universe and Everything. It’s compiled by researchers just like you and it's something YOU can take part in. You can write entries on all manner of subjects, and if it's something you think would look good in our Edited Guide (where all the best research goes), you can submit it to Peer Review Take a look at the <./>writing-guidelines</.> for more information on that.

You have made a great start by opening your space I hope when you get to know us a little better you'll join in the general silliness and maybe even write for The Guide - but there's no rush - and it's not compulsory

We ACEs are volunteers here to assist new researchers so if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
You can leave a message on my space just by clicking on my name at the top of this message or by hitting the reply button below - it won't hit back (usually).

I have made a "Hints and Links for New Researchers" page at <./>A719840</.> - if you go there it will lead you to all sorts of places which will help find your way around and get to know this wonderful place. It should keep you busy for a while

Oh, and don’t forget to bookmark not only your space but the H2G2 <./>FrontPage</.> - it’s a great way to stay in touch with what’s happening and leads to all sorts of corners which you may otherwise miss.

I am sure that you will love this community as much as we do There's lots of things to see, clubs to join and people to meet - please don't be shy - just jump right in - this is a friendly place. But be careful - it can become quite addictive - believe me I know



Enjoy!!
Have fun!!!
and above all !!!

Hey Feisor,
Thanks for the warm welcome to the H2G2 community.
I am looking forward to making some friends and hopefully contributing to a few discussions or submitting an article.

Just getting used to the feel of the place, like a kid in a toy shop though lol.

Keep up the good work ACE

As it says above, you're welcome

If you have any questions about hootoo (as we call h2g2) or need any help just drop me a line here and I'll get back to you asap

Have fun

Thanks,
I am bound to have a question sooner or later.
Just took part in my first discussion.
Loving HooToo already.

Cheers

Good on you!

Getting involved is the easiest way to get to know this place

Hi ya,

Knew it would not be long before I needed to know something, so here goes (now sounding like a total newby here).
How does one put those awfully nice smilies in ones messages/replies?

Cheers

Ah-ha!! I see that you haven't visited the New Researchers page link that I left

Never mind There's a full list of smileys and you can get to the page just be clicking on one. I did that laugh one by typing < laugh > without the spaces.

There are lots and lots of them - you might find it best to cut and paste them onto a Word document which you can keep beside you until you get the hang of them. < ok >

Hey Feisor,

Thanks
Owe you a or
