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 which shows up as "No Subject" has been posted to your own space - that's like writing a letter to the world and leaving it on 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

Thank you for you kind welcoming message.

Just one thing, how do I prise this "No Subject" letter off my notice board in my room and introduce it into the awaiting outside world?

Luv Toffee

As it says above, you're welcome

Well, that rather depends on who you are addressing You could turn it into a journal entry, or use it as an intro for your space , or perhaps, if you are looking for a reply to a question <./>AskH2G2</.> or maybe <./>MiscChat</.>.

Have you looked at the New Researchers link in the Welcome message above which may also offer hints

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

We can see it: it looks like you left a message to yourself.

If you want to do something with the copy, try the Write an Entry tab, and dump the text in there.

Anyway, since when did you live a mile from the Gay Hussar?

Oodles to do, so much to learn,
in this hootoo hell - where dilettantes burn.
Too easy to gaffe, where connoisseurs prowl,
so to rise to the challenge; or toss in the towel?

‘Hit backs’, ‘Entry tabs’ an argot online,
pathetically floundering, in this stringers shrine.
This ‘Instant researcher’ now stands on the brink,
with his nib in the well of ethereal ink.
