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.

I hope when you get to know us a little better you'll open your personal space and tell us a little about yourself - but there's no rush - and it's not compulsory

BTW - the message you have left entitled "Hello" has been posted to your own space - that's like writing a letter to the world and leaving it on the the notice board in your room - no one will see it unless they visit I do wish you luck with the Latin though Follow the New Researchers link below to get a good idea of how this place works

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 !!!

Hi Feisor, I'm glad and so happy to receive a warm welcome letter from you.
Since you have introduce your self, so will I.
My name is Yenche, I'm just graduate from University. I live in Jakarta, Indonesia. So pardon me, if my writing in English is not quite good. BUt i'll try to look on dictionary for some word i don't understand. I do interest in cultural society, and discussing about philosophy. Last evening when i was clicking on this site, i think i found the group of discussion. But I'm not quite understand how this sites work actually. So, it just end by clicking on another part of this site.
Can you tell me, How to communicate with other in the thread? How to make a new thread?
As my interest and curiosity to join this site is, I would like to join the Latin for beginner. But it seems like it(the page, thread) are not active anymore since the may 2005. So what should I do? Where to find the person who can teach me? how to work on this site? or contribute something to this site? I've read the instruction, but still not really get it how.
Hope you can help me.

Thanks before Feisor (and how to put a mini icon like mr.smile?) :p

As it says above Yenche, you're welcome

Thank you for introducing yourself so well You should use that introduction to open your space - you can always change it and add to it later, It's a great way for people to find out a little about who they are speaking to, and you can find out a little about them by just clicking on the name at the top of their message.

Your English is fine, there are lots of people here whose first language isn't English - I think that you'll find that most people here will be happy to help

To find out how this place works I suggest that you go to the New Researchers page at <./>A719840</.> (just click on the highlighted number) and work your way through - it will also tell you how to make smileys and where to go to find where everyone is talking.

The Latin For Beginners thread is still active - it just may take a little while for someone to reply - have you read the whole conversation? I think the idea is to go to the beginning of the conversation and work your way through ... give it a go and see what happens Or you could leave a request for someone to help at at <./>AskH2G2</.> where you will reach a good cross section of the community - remember to indicate your question in the subject box

To start a new conversation (thread) at <./>AskH2G2</.> or anywhere on the site go to the page, at the bottom of the page you will see "Start a new conversation" simply click on the link and the posting box will pop up - enter your subject in the subject box, add your message in the message box, preview and if you are happy with the way it looks hit the "post message" button - easy!!

That should keep you going for a while ....

If you have any more 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
