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

Hello dear Uncle Zarniwoop,

I have been a member of the community for two years and have had perhaps two posts. I have tried to join with other like minded HIthchikers in my section of the Galaxy. Their group promptly disbanded. Now, what could be the reason? I thought my posts were reasonably amusing. I even had a nice series of conversations with a few members some little while ago.

Could you visit my entries and let me know what I am doing wrong? I can't seem to get anyone to post there. I know that you encourage people do to so...thanks, and I appreciate the help.

Cheers

Fred the Incontinent Hamster

wondering where everyone is?

Hi Fred

OUZ (your adopted ACE)

I assure you you have done nothing wrong. Your postings are funny and I did laugh at quite a few of them. When I first posted on H2G2 I didn't get that many messages posted directly on my Personal Space, and I still dont. In fact, it doesnt happed to many people.
However, you can still make lots of friends and meet people. I did this by basically going around looking for places and clubs that interested me. For example, I joined the Football Club. I also found a meeting place that appealed to me called the Lighthouse Bar.

I try to talk to a wide veriaty of people, but as there are so many members of H2G2 now its hard, and some people can get hidden. The best way to get noticed is to get the word out and get invovled.

Its just a matter of going out and making yourself known, but it is not that important to basically count popularity on how many messages on your Personal Space.

Basically, just try and get involved

Try these links - <LINK H2G2="F70774?thread=192585&latest=1">Lighthouse Bar is a sure fire way to meet people. The owner Light, is especially very friendly

A148907 - Ask The H2G2 Community - This section is basically a great place to debate, and debates and questions are always been asked.

A579684 - The pirate ship (where the Lighthouse Bar is)

There are plenty of options on my PS where you could go. Good luck. Dont hesitate to talk to me at all.

Hi Fred. No, you're not dull. (There is in any case, by definition, no such thing as a dull h2g2 researcher. Merely by signing on you become interesting.) You just need to get out and about onsite a bit more. It's in the nature of the place that if you don't write you don't get noticed. Every post you make is an access to your space.
Try subscribing to at least one forum (I'm not a tekkie but I know you can find them by following your nose from the front page) or just access other researchers' spaces to scout for anything that interests you. Don't be intimidated by the fact that other contributors seem to know each other - they had to get acquainted that way, too. Feel free to visit me for and and a chat any time you're at a loose end.
