P.S. RocketMan, go on down to the ACE homepage and join our ranks. You just did great welcoming Qualtazaar!

Thanks Smart Gamer!
I've already applied to join the ACEs (I did it last week), you must be psychic or something . Abi should be officially 'recruiting' sometime soon, and hopefully I'll get the pretty orange badge added to my space when she does. In the meantime, I'm 'pretending' to be an ACE and welcoming newbies to the site.

I just saw the title of this thread, on My Space. It's probably the most boring welcome title ever. Oops.

Hey, don't feel bad about no reply- about 1/10 newbies reply to me, and I'm a lucky ACE...

--SmartGamer

Well, he's the one missing out on the wonders of h2g2 by not replying, not me

Don't kick yourself too much about the bad title... It was at least informative! Sorry I did'nt reply earlier anyway...

Hi from yet another Ace ..lol I dropped by to say welcome etc,but see ive already been beaten to it..twice! At least you cant say were not a friendly bunch.

ROCKET MAN..theyre recruiting Aces right noe in fact..or i presume so as I came home today to find id been given a badge ,so if you havent got yours yet you may do soon .

Turns out I actually do have a question...
How does this whole ACE business work, anyway? Who's who? And what's what?

The ACEs are more experienced members of h2g2, who understand the site. We go round helping newbies and being nice to people. See <./>aces</.> for more.
