This is the Journal of Terran of the Shire (Stupid fat hobbitses) << Head Explode *splat* For the glory of Kronk >> Subject: The Post - What Communities are you in? Posted Oct 12, 2009 by Terran of the Shire (Stupid fat hobbitses)   Posting 1 I've already asked a few communities about what people like about them - although I've been distracted in the last few weeks with real life commitments. However I still would like to get some more information before I put anything together. So really I thought I'd ask in my journal, for those who read it - or those who stop by - where do you reside when you're on h2g2? And why do you enjoy it? I'm hoping ultimately to try and link communities in the post... although there is a fine community element there already - I would like to see proper links with the communities.

Having said that the Post and I seem to be going in different directions now, and if I'm going to continue to contribute to h2g2 then I need to think about how to put my stuff in a venue where people will actually notice it and possibly read it. I didn't know there were subcultures in h2g2 as well-defined as your initial posting suggests... Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: The Post - What Communities are you in?

" There are still groups within h2g2 that operate largely to the ignorance of the wider community. I'm surprised how active many people still are, and that there are pages which are the hub of that activity. I, probably like yourself, thought that h2g2 community groups were pretty quiet these days - and quite a few have gone quiet - but there are more than you'd think that are still active, but I didn't know about them. This is why I set out on this venture because I have a feeling if we can start connecting these groups - and bring them out of the cold so to speak - then the wider community could benefit. Plus it would be good to get random community group voices in the post. Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: The Post - What Communities are you in?

I used to do all sorts of stuff, but in the end I liked the "randomness" theroy, E=maybeish Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: The Post - What Communities are you in?

Eh? It's rarely been obvious who reads what in the Post. Actually in some ways I find it easier to get feedback now than a few years ago.

Posted Oct 13, 2009 by Awix This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 13 If you put a piece in the Post then the Post readers, if nobody else, will at least know it exists and possibly take a look at it. If, on the other hand, I write something just from my PS and don't tell anyone, the chances of anyone noticing it and having a look are immensely smaller, probably to the point of it not making any difference whether you post it online at all... I'm getting to the point where I rarely write something unless I know there's a good chance it's going to get read at some point. Not because the writing is unenjoyably hard work, but why do it otherwise? Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: The Post - What Communities are you in?

Posted Oct 26, 2009 by egon This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 16 I have a community I post in, which is largely separate from h2g2 as a whole. However, I like it being separate to h2g2 as a whole, so I won;t tell you what it is. Subject: The Post - What Communities are you in?

Excellent coverage on the blog "Box Turtle Bulletin" This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 17 Ask seems as busy as ever. I hang around there a lot. The Forum, SEx, and QI are still going, but they're quieter than they used to be. Friends' journals. And I'm not as busy as I used to be in PR. I'll get there again. I occasionally pop by AWW and various talking points. And that's about it. TRiG. Conversation list Most of the content on h2g2 is created by h2g2's Researchers, who are members of the public.
