...to The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition.
I'm an ACE (Assistant Community Editor) and an Archangel. It is my job, or rather, my jobs, to welcome you (and help you get things moving) to the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy : Earth Edition.
There are two aspects to h2g2 - Conversations and Guide Entries.
This is a conversation, and it's pretty exciting stuff once you've got too know how it works! It's all pretty obvious, you click reply to reply, and the screaming face thing to complain!
The really hoopy thing is all the smileys we have to play with!

The conversations give h2g2 a sense of community, here are some things that also make it special:
Researchers Birthdays Page - http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A293195
The ACEs Homepage - http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/ACES
Ask the Community - http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/askh2g2
Don't Panic (The help pages!) - http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/dontpanic
Guide Entries are the source from which conversations flow. They can be about anything at all, in many ways your space is a guide entry.
They can be written in either plain text or GuideML. More about this here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/GuideML-Clinic
To distinguish between entries which are merely for fun and ones which are informative about a given subject, a system of reviewing exists. Please join in here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/PeerReview
Finally, if you have any problems or you just want to chat, reply below!

"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."
