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

Dear Alfredo Febr. 2008

Thank you for your e-mail. As you may have read on site, BBC Collective is about to close. Here is our statement:

We're sorry to announce that Collective is closing.

We would like to thank everyone who has supported the site since it
launched. From 2002 - 2008, Collective brought coverage of the most
exciting new music, art, film, books and games to people in search of
fresh culture in Britain. We aimed to celebrate genuine creativity and
bring underground talent to the BBC's audience. We've been privileged to
host intelligent comment about popular arts, culture and society in
general for almost six years, and occasionally been able to help our
community of users in creative collaborative projects. At its height
Collective had around 250,000 dedicated users.

From 15th Feb 08 we will no longer editorially update Collective.

Very best wishes to you - The Collective Team

I would not be surprised when H2G2 would come to an end before 2015.
It's a nice, quiet place, different from the hectic at the internet.

Still, it's policy is ambivalent, because everyday entries are presented as "talkingpoint" and kids are stimulated "to get the latest about h2g2 at their phone".

They'll have to, to survive financially, but it's in contrast of what it still is and should remain.

Difficult dilemma.
