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

BTW - the message you have left entitled "cool" 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 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.

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 !!!


Feisor

As you are a "younger" researcher I will now point out some stuff that you should know - it's not too heavy and there's some fun stuff too

Firstly, from the <./>HouseRules</.> ...
"If you're Under Age 16
* Please get your parents' or guardians' permission before taking part in h2g2 or any other BBC Discussion Message Board.
* Never reveal any personal information about yourself (for example, your telephone number, home address or email address) without getting your parents' or guardians' permission first."

Secondly, you might like to check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/chatguide/children/index.shtml
there's some stuff there that's really worth knowing

and finally,
There's a special place for you to chat with people your own age (away from us adults ) You can join The Young Researchers' Club at A983171 and find lots of fun things to do and talk about.

But most importantly,
Have fun

Thankyou for being a great friend

As it says above, you're welcome

That's just what the <./>ACE</.>s do

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
