A scary thought happened to me. H2G2 may mean the beginning of the end for Project Galactic Guide. I spent seven-and-a-half years procrastinating on this project. And today, I'm joining the competition.
Not that this will make any kind of difference. I'll mostly remain this guy who wrote this text diluted in this database instead of that one -- mostly. With PGG we weren't just these guys (and gals) writing invisible articles for free in order to sell attention to some other group. It's something we were into. PGG was our thing, our kid. And we didn't use it to sell anything, really. The t-shirt we sold were made by those who bought them. I don't think that H2G2 could ever achieve the same irrational and unprofitable state of identification that we created for ourselves with Project Galactic Guide. No. PGG isn't dead. It might even go on and reach a higher state of existence.
So I won't really be moving to anywhere then, not sideways nor downward. I'll just be moving around. After all, isn't that what a field researcher's supposed to do?

In the ten weeks since that posting I can confirm that the PGG is NOT dead, the H2G2 has not superceded it.
The H2G2 is sufficiently different to the PGG that we are happy to continue.
Please have a look at both the PGG (http://megadodo.com ) and H2G2.
