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 rely 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've made a great start by opening your space and from your intro I assume that you already have friends to chat with - That's great!! What's Mustardland BTW??

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 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

Thanks for the welcome and tips! I certainly get the feeling that I could become addicted to this place, especially when I get to know my way around it. I'm having to resist because I'm in the middle of revising for exams & so shouldn't be here at all.

You ask about Mustardland. It's the BBC messageboard for The Archers - a Radio 4 soap programme. The backgound to the pages are mustard coloured hence mustardland. We have quite an online community there and actually have 6 messageboards within that community where we can chat/play. (www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/archers if you want to visit. The Bull is where most general chat takes place.)Mustardland (ML) is hosted on some old BBC servers which are about to be made redundant (well they are creaking towards the end of their days) and we will be moving over to the new DNA servers and system which you have over here. SOme people are a bit uncerrtain about the change and how it will affect our online community.

Thanks again & see you around!

Yep - will definitely pop over to Mustardland to have a look

BTW - hope you don't mind smilies - have been talking to dustysparkle and he seems to be having some problems adjusting - I told him to just hang in there - it really is a friendly place here.

When you've finished studying hootoo will still be here - lots of time to get addicted

Let me know if you need help - though I'm from Australia and am in a different time zone. But you can always ask any of the <./>ACE</.>s - everyone is usually happy to help
