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

...I forgot my second h2g2 birthday, about three days ago

Doesn't feel like two years. Feels like a lifetime and a half. They've also been the two busiest years of my life, thanks in no small part to y'all eating up most of my afternoons.

I haven't been as active around here as I once was, because the EG is disappointing me lately, but I know I'll always have h2g2, and (barring a BBC error of judgement or an enormous change of life for me) h2g2 will always have me.

What do you mean the EG is disappointing you?

Is it me? Do I smell?

I know how you feel about the EG. We keep geting asked for more picks, when the quality of entries inPR just isn't there...

I've held off on my picks for a while and then decided just to start writing again if I wanted things to get better.

But happy h2-versary!

I don't know how you can stand being as old as you are. I am truly overwhelmed. I didn't realize that people actually live to be your age.

Congrats Jodan

Now, about that little EG problem. Have you noticed what dwindling communities do to survive? They merge.

The wall that surrounds the EG has become the borders of a ghetto.

It's patrolled by unthinking italics in jackboots, plus a few particularly reactionary Scout collaborators.

But it seems probable that a majority on both sides now want the wall to come down.

H, have some

It truly is an iron curtain protecting the status quo. I wish I had been a few years earlier. Then I might have helped change things

Exactly, Jimi. Plus thanks to the new 'Don't leave it up to the sub-ed' scout brutality law, it's hardly worth submitting entries.

Scandrea, no you do not smell. Well, maybe. What do I know?

better late, late than never Happy Hootoo birthday.

Belated Happy Twoth, Jodan .

Don't underestimate the change you have helped make.

It's been a bit like the walls of Jericho, in reverse. Lot's of noise to start with, then ...

It's only been two years?? Seems like you've been here forever! (Not that that's a bad thing )

I couldn't believe it. I went into my home page in Brunel and tried to figure out a way to make 2005 minus 2003 equal 3 or 4.

It didn't work.

Well, I guess it's reassuring that there are limits to your talents

I'm not sure it's reassuring that 3 or 4 are forever around here though...what comes after forever anyway?


Jodan, about wishing you might have changed things F25549?thread=577915 might be of interest. Did you know there was no Post this week .

I did know there was no post. Sounds like Shazz has finally gotten some burn-out.

I think what she needs is not a bunch of people willing to do a couple minutes of work a week - she needs a Greebo. An assistant. I hope someone will step up.

Belated H2G2 birthday greetings, Jodan! I haven't been around much lately either... but yeah, H2G2 will always be here...

What's up with Greebo?

Hey Farlander. Yes, let's hope.
Got any more whopper entries for PR? We need some bad.

Not sure. Last I heard she was moving her lair. But I assume she's unable to help, based on Shazz's post.

A whole bunch of unfinished ones. I've been in a bit of an academic rut lately, and am about to get seriously busy.. I'm hoping to get a weekend or two off to finish some of them though. More history articles...

I'm in a rut myself.
Yesterday, I was trying to think of entries about Ohio that will put it over the top as 2nd most written about US state, but I started boring myself

History is my favorite kind of article

I'm sure you'll come upwith another good idea soon.
