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

Hi there, and welcome to the h2g2 community!

My name is Lifson and I am a geek. I'm also an ACE. ACE stands for Assistant Community Editor, and we're here to sort out all your little problems on h2g2. Also look out for the Gurus. They are here to sort out your bigger problems!!! To find an ACE or Guru, click on the "Who's Online" button at the side of the screen (in Classic Goo it is, don't know about Alablaster!), and most will have it as part of their names if they are one!

Also check out the special smileys...



Click on one to teleport over to the page with all the smileys on - for these are but a few!!!

Also, check out the pages for the H2G2 staff (www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/team) and for the all the people in the volunteer schemes (ACES, Gurus etc.) (www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/volunteers). The full-time staff are generally known as the italics, because their names appear in italics in the "Who's Online" pop-up. That way, if you want to ask them a question, you know you are getting a member of staff, not someone pretending!!!

Just reply to this message, or drop into my personal space for a and s if you need a hand with anything (or even if you don't!) and you'll always receive a warm welcome! If you need talking thought something - e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll be over to help quicker than IBM can get to a Computer Science graduate!

All the best, and happy hitch-hiking!

Hi,

I've been a registered user for about an hour and I can already tell that this has the potential to become a great time-sucker. And at the moment my mind is sitting in a corner humming that old Police song: "Too much information, bullet in my brain". But thanks anyway..

This site has been around for about 2½ years now (I think). I know it's not as great as it might be given a bit more of a serious bent, but it's not bad for a British-based project!

I find it most useful for finding alternative views on stuff for my college work, and personally (I know it doesn't suit everyone) I enjoy being part of such a large and varied virtual community.

Like I say - if there's any problems, let me know. I can also put stuff out on the ACE forum for debate if you have any ideas on how to improve the site and/or it's workings!
