h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Have you checked out the conversations yet on 360? It's a sister site to h2g2. Smaller. Fewer researchers. But I like the concept. It's "changing the world by degrees" and some of the discussions are about environmental issues, peace, philosophy. Some of the contributors are more interested in having real conversations that the ones I've run into on hootoo. Some of it is rubbish, too. It's not perfect. Anyway, the person in charge is named Maggy and she's trying to get it going. If more people start dropping by, her numbers go up and maybe she'll get properly funded.

You can find it at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/360. To join the environmental society go to U191190. Or to find some conversations go to A894990. Or check out my conversations on my home page. They're listed as from 360 rather that from h2g2.

Thanks, Hypatia. Sorry it took so long to reply - I haven't logged on as GL for a few days (been busy at work and only had time for my Panto characters).

I looked at 360 quite a while ago when it first appeared. There were very few people there and only a half-a-dozen articles (which I read and found quite good). I'd kinda forgotten about it, but will take another look.

I skipped the Pantomine. I wish now I'd started it, but at the time barely had time for anything. Now the blog is too intimidating.

Actually, you wouldn't have to read all of the backlog - just the stuff at the current location (Pecos Jail). And if no one else reads this thread, no one but me would know the new character is you. Now would be a good time to enter, too, since we have only really just arrived at the new location (we fumble about quite a lot).
