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

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.

Do some exploring and you'll find that the site has everything from the nonsense japing to debates on any number of diverse subjects. Many lasting friendships and relationships have been born on hootoo. It's kind of an online pub and encyclopaedia.

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 !!!

*instantly panics*

Thank you for the welcome!

As it says above, you're welcome

I must say that I very rarely get such a quick response

Don't forget to open your space - even just "hi" will do - 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

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

Hello Whistler, do all folks get a special welcome on here, I'm still reeling after encountering an
a)Moderator who is clearly human
b)a moderator who will interact
c)a friendly moderator.

Yep pretty much, but he does seem like a jolly nice fellow all the same.

I likes him.

Well, good.

You're in work early, everything ok?

Shocking sleep so decided not to bother anymore. It's weird driving to work that early, people look at you weird for singing songs and using the roof as pseudo drums.

Any more nightmares?

Yup, no benevolent Boos driver though.

You're meant to say no nightmares and everything is hunky dory!

Says who?

Me, the Cap'n! Gaahhh steve, Gahhh... all that kinda stuff.

Did you just become a Pirate?

Cap'n Reynolds is pirate, Betty! For the love of God woman!

Have you not seen Firefly?!

I thought he was more of a Space Cowboy?

Hmm.

Of course I've seen it! I quoted it to you and you called me odd!

When did you do this and did you quote Firefly or Serenity. Obviously i'd have been suitably impressed with either, well, if i had seen Serenity.

Also, it's a western themed space adventure, but he's on a ship and steals/salvages from other ships, that's a damn pirate if ever saw one, but yeh, splitting hairs.

Well, I suppose you're more right than I. He does call Serenity his ship.

And it was from the film, when he say's 'You spin me about' to Inara.
