h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi!

Welcome to H2G2. I’m JulesK and I’m an ACE (Assistant Community Editor). I’m here to help if you ever feel a bit lost during your first few days on the site. If I don’t know the answer, I’ll find someone who does

I see you've been posting around the site already

H2G2 has lots of interesting corners, discussion forums, societies and writing workshops, just waiting for you to dive into. The best way to find out what’s here is to do a little exploring. For this you can use the links on your Personal Space, such as Talk, Contribute and Read.

Here is a useful list of links and help pages which you may like to browse through: A559695 (Have a while you do!)

The site is built around the Edited Guide, which is made up of Edited Entries written by fellow researchers about Life, the Universe and Everything. They are called Edited because they’ve been through the Peer Review and Sub-Editing process. It’s advisable to read the Writing Guidelines at A53209 before submitting anything to Peer Review, as folk don’t take too kindly to people filling it up with inappropriate stuff.

There are other writing forums , which are listed under Contribute on your Personal Space.

We have a weekly newspaper, ,which comes out every Thursday. The Post Team are always happy to hear from new writers who’d like to contribute.

You can contact me any time by clicking on my name or pressing ‘reply’. If you do get lost on the site, just press ‘My Space’ to take you back to your own page.

Have a great time and don’t forget your

Jules

Thank you for the welcome.
I will do my best to live up to the ideals that the virtual village embraces and try not to be too much of an idiot, I will also endeavour to remember my towel at all times just in case...
Gosh.
I sound like a boy scout.

Good to hear from you

Don't worry about fitting in, you'll be fine. Lurk first, read the backlog, then post if you like.

See you around (or sooner - feel free to pop in and chat anytime!)

Jules

Hi Jules,
I'm currently have a lurk...
I may join the Thingites, I like their ideas and the seemingly plentiful supply of is tempting.

Greg

Hi again,

I don't know, I say pop in any time and then I disappear for a while and don't reply!

Am currently working my way through the enormous backlog of threads which has built up on my page since I've been away - it takes ages to check and clear everything !

Catch you later

I need no replies.....
Thank you for you time though.

That was a reply wasn't it?
You're only doing it to get me even more confused....
I met a Jules on the web once, a very nice young lady with low self esteem, seem to be a lot about....
TY once again, will continue to explore and make a of myself...
may see you in a different chat...

To finish I've written a vague intro.....
I know I was totally bewildered when I first started here and probably still am..
"A quick note to new members:
H2G2 works like nothing else that I've encountered, read the rules and maybe read how to work it.
There's a whole world out there, if you put something up and it doesn't get a response immediately (or doesn't get the response you want)...It may do at some time in the future.
This is not an internet forum in the true sense of the word...
It's something deeper and maybe a bit more meaningful...Certainly a lot more confusing.
It's not meant to be like that, it's just something that happened.
Here you will probably find everything you need to live (or more specifically entertain yourself ) for the rest of your life....
Look deep, you know it makes sense.
Have fun with it."
