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

Hi there, and welcome to h2g2!
I am Roadkill, and I'm an ACE (Assistant Community Editor). This means that I'm here to help. If there's something you're puzzled about , don't hesitate to ask me or one of my fellow ACEs.

It's good to see you're going out and exploring a bit! You've gone to visit the Thingite page, I see. The Thingites are one of the largest groups on h2g2, I'm sure you'll meet a lot of groovy people through them .

You might like to make an introduction to your Personal Space as well. It will show that the account is active, and if you put a little something about your interests and hobbies, soon all sorts of people will come by to say hello – H2G2 is a very friendly place!

And so we come to the links. These are to help you find your feet, and jump-start you into the community .

The smileys: These are the cute little yellow things that are liberally dotted around the screen . You can find an index of them at <./>Smiley</.> or by clicking on whichever smiley you want to learn how to do.

The H2G2 Post have made a nice little links page for those of us that don't carry them around in our heads . You can find it at A616718 .

For a longer welcome, go to the Welcome that the nice people (usually called the Italics, as their names appear in italics in the who's <./>online</.> menu) who keep the site running have written at <./>Welcome-Newcomers </.>
it's got a lot of the basic background and how-to’s that you will need - a good place to start

Then you can take the H2G2 Tour at A317459 to see how it all works.

If some of the H2G2 terms leave you a little confused, there is a great page about it at A632431.

Oh, and also: Don't Panic. If you do, then go to <./>DontPanic </.> for all your FAQ needs.

Hope to see you around, bye for now, and if you need anything, ask.
Roadkill .
