Excellent!
Wowbagger Posted Dec 7, 1999
Oh sorry, were they cheap? Bugger... I just have no taste do I?
Excellent!
The Brain Posted Dec 8, 1999

Excellent!
Big Geordie 103806 Posted Dec 8, 1999
PLEASE NO ADVERTS! This is the only place that I can go without the advertizing world chaseing me. They are on the TV. So I switch it off. It is then pushed through the letter box so I chuck it in the bin. Even the never ending bills have adverts with them. I escape around to the pub and they are everywhere. So please, please, PPPLLLEEAAASSSEEE NO ADVERTS. Thank you.
Excellent!

Okay then
I don't think we're likely to put adverts on here. It's all done in our spare time, so we're not having to pay any one for anything, so we don't need the income that they bring.
So except for the little one at the top of the h2g2 page, no adverts.
Excellent!

Mind you we are looking for sponsers - you - we want to advertise anything you want to push - as long it is on h2g2 - Best article you have seen - official entries or not - Do you think your Home Page has something special that others would enjoy - the best fun forums - There are two Researchers at this time who are roving the world and we hope to give you blow by blow reports - we are also (NO) you will just have to wait and see.

are a couple of questions you may be able to answer

Internal advertising has to be okay.... we've had advertisements for the fun run, the virtual mayor and others already, as well as 'ads' for everybody who's contributing to the page. H2G2 ads only.
Excellent!
Researcher 99947 Posted Dec 9, 1999
But, do I have to? Fill me in, please (pretty please?)

THANK YOU .. THANK YOU. I am glad to hear that there is not? gong to be any adverts.

I have two home pages Numbers 96920 and 103806, this was a result of me being locked out of the original, anyway you could leave me a message on there if you like??? Maybe

With any luck it may also have "news" in it (in the Manufacturing Consent) sense, where the "news" is so filtered and behind the web that what's printed isn't news any more, it's usually just information.....
This sounds interesting, and certainly what I've seen so far is reason to come back to the site now that the novelty's wearing off. Well done.

Wowbagger Posted Dec 10, 1999
Is the novelty wearing off Eric? 'Tis a shame that. I'm finding that, the longer I'm here, the more 'entangled' I am into the whole h2g2 thing.
Excellent!
vegiman:-) Posted Dec 11, 1999
Hi Eric - why not have a nose around h2g2 and write your views for the POST - Tell use why? - the h2g2 team and the POST would like to hear.

You ask if my stories are news or just stories? There is nothing just about them. I can tell you stories that would make your toenails curl so far back they would scratch your kneecaps Stories that would make the founder of this wonderful H2G2, Douglas Adams green with envy. Some of which you would not believe as they stretch the imagination to breaking point. And most of them are TRUE. They are from my own experience's. If you are interested drop me an email (or something) even if you are not. Whatever you decide I will still enjoy my visits to H2G2.
Cheerie Bye
