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

Hi Pamela

not to have got back it was on the R4 Feedback programme today about it all if you are interested in listening again

Needless to say the Head of the Message Boards said Helen had lost her thread and it hadn't been modded although it still is! See R2 S&M board for more info

Hope your mum and dad are ok? Weather is still very cold isn't it? We've had a puppy who's wrecking the garden but she's gorgeous so looking forward to being able to take her out for walks soon.

Speak soon.

BDG

thank you so much for your lovely comment on the Help Help thread today about the lost host it bought a much needed BDG

Hi BDG, My set-top box can't get sound, so no listen again,But I did hear the repeat of the Feedback programme on Sunday. At least that presenter did admit they had been innundated with complaints, not just a few as Lesley Douclas seemed to say in her posting. But it does seem that Chris Evans is settled for Drivetime unfortunately for the Radio 2 listeners. As you said I don't think the BBC will listen to it's listeners
I wonder Chris Evans has read the messageboard.
I've lost the plot slightly. Who is taking over Chris's show?
I notice a few comments about a book about Johnnie. They say there is an official biography out in october , but there seems to be one out now. But the poster said his message was taken off because it was advertising.(I think it was John Hutchinson) Do you know anything about it ?

Hope your new is getting on alright. What kind is it?
from Pamela

Hi BDG I've just been reading the Radio 2 message board and see Helen's mseesage is back.


I subscribe to a small monthly magazine Radio Review http://www.radioreview.org.uk It's got about 200 readers, mainly old pirate radio enthusiasts, I think. I E.Mailed the editor and told him what was happening on the board,and about the Feedback programme,and said that I thought he might like to comment in the next issue. There is one due out soon, so it might be too late for that one , but I will let you know if he says anything.

Hi Pamela

Yes it's back but a small step forward Yes by all means send an article to your publication.

I've more or less had it with the BBC boards the R2 S&M one is behond a joke and despite numerous complaints from many respected posters over three years nothing ever gets done. This weekend has shown how ridiculous the whole situation is with the trolls out in force doing whatever they like. The CB has gone as well.

I shall pop in now and again to see what's happening but after my latest experience of yet another stalker from the R2 boards I've had enough.

I'll get in touch with you via your website if that's ok?

Take care.

Hi BDG Yes, you are welcome to E.mail me. Look forward to hearing from you. I don't know exactly what happened ,but you've obviously had problems again here. to hear that.
from Pamela

THat should have come out as . I must remember to use the preview. Pamela

Hi BDG I just found the E.Mail you sent me in September, Will try and reply tonight ,if you have the same addy. Let me know if it's changed.
You wouln't believe the problems my Internet box has had with E.Mails. I'm thinking of joining the Luddites ,throwing it through the window, and buying a pen and a writing pad.

Hi Pamela I wondered why you never replied forgotten all about it. Did you see my reply to you in the Johnnie an Alright Kind of a Guy thread? Remembered it was Radio West.

I've managed to throw the stalker off with a little help from friends although its still around.

again I took your advice and a few times trouble is it is very unrealiable on the R2 boards whether they will act and remove the posts, I know they would here but we don't have italics like you do in R2 land, remember the lone host that was left behind . What I've found is in the week it's ok but come Friday night and the weekend the board is a free for all.

I'm still restricting my posts but finding it hard to keep away altogether, gradually weening myself off the addiction

Speak soon.

BDG

Hi, **B
Did you get my E.Nail on Tuesday.
I think I've got problems with it AGAIN
People are telling me they haven't heard from me and I have written. Pamela

Hi Pamela

I haven't been in touch been very busy and hardly on the putter! Finally cured of my addiction I think plus the R2 boards are closed half the time and are just not the same as they used to be, most decent posters have stopped posting.

I got your email but I too have had problems my Outlook programme won't work at all so I can only use Outlook Express so I can't access your email address can you send me an email again and then I can reply more fully.

Look forward to hearing from you again soon.

Hi BDG,

They've closed your thread, what do we do now??

"Try to focus on producing an Entry . .

No one expects you to come up with a finished work in a few hours, give it a try and show some good will. (We have had several attempts of invasion before. )"

Who said anyone was trying to invade?

We were happy where we were before, now we're just trying to find somewhere like minded. There's not thousands of us, only a handful and some of us have already been posting on h2g2 for a long time.

If the BBC choose to close down extremely popular message boards, the boarders have to go somewhere. The fact that h2g2 could be perfect for us, and make us all more aware of the extra options available to us, seems to be being ignored!

QS

So much for the welcome Sandra.... I've been a member of hootoo since early 2004.

As you say it will only be a few as several have already said it's not for them.

"Well, not an invasion perhaps. Still like BDG did; trying to create a Forum as a mimic for a board that is lost is not the purpose of HooToo.

The only way to stop hearing this 'invasion' talk is mingle with the Researchers and become a Researcher yourself . It is not that bad, we do not bite (most of us ) "

Think I've found us again, but without any mention of Radio 2!

QS

Traveller, (still need to find the smileys etc here)

We will mix and mingle, but it would be good if we can get a head start by getting people over. There's some good people to chat with, others obviously we can do without, but surely you must know talking about the few of us invading just upsets us, it's not our fault they're closing the boards!

I know I'll try to get my head around all the different bits on h2g2, I've poked my nose in a few times, but never got around to posting. This time should be different...
