Thank you all, it was just the best...

My name is Peta. I used to run the communities, blogs and message boards at the BBC.

I went away for a bit - but now I'm back! I'm currently hosting the 6 Music and Radio 2 message boards.

I've worked within online communities since 1999, when I was the Community Editor of h2g2, way back in the days when Douglas was was still with us and h2g2 was based within Douglas's company at The Digital Village in Covent Garden.

I'd like to pay tribute to Pheloxi who was just the kindest sweetest guy. You'd be online today, if you could.

If you like to read about interesting places around the world, check out my friend Mark Moxon's travel website at Mark Moxon - Travel Writer. Mark was the The Editor of h2g2 until October 2002 when he finally threw in the towel and went off travelling the world again.

A couple of years ago Mark walked between the two furthest points in the United Kingdom; Land's End to John o'Groats

Mark has now completed his latest project, walking the entire London tube network for a Parkinson's charity - Have a look at his Tubewalker website to see how he described your area of London.

doh

It arrived yesterday, out of the blue with two big burly tatooed men. I thought they had the wrong address, but no, it was Alex - on the quiet, not a mention. Grr.

Peta says: Goodbye h2g2! And thanks for everything...
Jul 1, 2008

Hi h2g2-ers.

This is just to let you all know that I'm leaving the BBC at the end of July, it's been a long run, time to move on now.

I've been working with people and online communities since 1999 when I had the great pleasure to work with Douglas Adams at The Digital Village, on h2g2.

As many of you will know, h2g2 came to the BBC in early 2000, and acquired me too - as h2g2 Community Editor. After a while I moved on to work on the other BBC online communities, blogs and message boards and so on.

I've really enjoyed the eight years I've spent working at the BBC, but I've been offered a *really* wonderful new job and it's far too good an opportunity to turn down.

So from the BBC point of view this is it for me. I'm off at the end of July, and start my new job in September. I'm taking a month off as I want to give being a slacker a good go!

I'll undoubtedly come back to h2g2 at some point and say hi, I definitely hope to!

Take care everyone, it was the best job ever being h2g2 Community Editor! hug

Mark Moxon is Tubewalker: The Tube. On Foot.
Jun 4, 2008


Mark Moxon, ex-Editor of h2g2, has just started his latest project as Tubewalker!

He's walking the entire London tube network on foot. You can follow his progress via his website http://www.tubewalker.com/ and you never know, if you live in London he may be striding past a tube station near you shortly! Go out and wave an h2g2 T shirt or something! smiley

http://www.tubewalker.com/

He's got a blog about his walk here...
