Hi there...

I'm one of the ACEs (assistant community editors), we're the ones who come and give you an official welcome to the site. Of course, most of us would give you an unofficial welcome as well since we tend to be helpful/nosey (delete as appropriate) people like that.
Most of us ACEs (that'll be anyone linked to from the ACEs Homepage or anyone with ACE after their name) have also been around the site for a while so should know what we're doing. So if you have any questions feel free to ask. Of course, if I can't answer, I'm going to look embarassingly silly, but I'll still be able to point you in the direction of someone who knows
If you haven't already seen them, there's a couple of introduction pages that kind of explain what the site is about:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Welcome
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Welcome-DNA
Of course other than the writing stuff most of what happens goes on in the fora attached to people's homepages and articles. The conversations cover a huge range of topics and often drift mightily from the initial posting but they're generally fun. Most people are happy to talk with anyone who comments on their pages but if you feel uncomfortable with that, the AskH2G2 page is always looking for people to ask or answer various questions. You can find it at:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/askh2g2
Not everyone wants to get quite so involved and some prefer just to go around reading the articles and fora that are already there, laughing out loud, usually. What ever you like, most important is that you have fun on the site and I hope to see you around again
As I said, if you do need any help, or want to know anything more about the site, or even just want a chat, just hit the "reply" button and I'll be back as soon as possible

As you may have heard Douglas Adams the original author of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and the inspiration for this site died on May 11. If you want to leave a tribute to him like many of the other researchers go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/u42

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. It has been compiled and recompiled many times and under many different editorships. It contains contributions from countless numbers of travellers and researchers."
