Within hours of Douglas' death tributes started flooding into this
site; in total, over nine thousand messages of condolence were posted.
The forums are now closed for posting, but the tributes will remain
for viewing.
This site will now serve as a tribute to Douglas and his works,
preserving these tributes and all the posts that Douglas made to
the original info forum.
(Fans looking for a discussion area are respectfully directed to
alt.fan.douglas-adams) Douglas used the info forum to keep in touch with his fans - over
the two and a half years the board was open, he replied with nearly
30 thousand words - equivalent to a small book.
Here's how he introduced the forums back
in November 1998... While you're
here, take note of the following extremely useful points:-
1) Always
read the MFAQ . Although it is inaccurate,
it is at least definitively inaccurate. I intend to get in there
and update it at some point, but probably not this millennium.
2) We have
different forums for different needs. This Community forum
is for general chat. The Info forum is for questions and
discussions which I will read and contribute to. By the way, I hereby
give notice that after twenty years of active service I am officially
retiring from the job of explaining what I meant by 42. It was just
a joke.
3) Because
so many people have tried to pretend to be me (not by doing anything
useful like tidying my desk or walking my dog, of course) we've
had to put in some safeguards. When I post I will be using a highly
secret strong-encrypted code, which means that my posts will be
labelled Douglas Adams, in big italics and my email will show as
[email protected]. Anything not matching these conditions is not a
genuine post from me. It may be more interesting than one from me,
but it won't be genuine. And don't even try to enter these details
when you post because it won't work.
4) Douglas
Adams and The Digital Village take no responsibility for the contents
of this forum. Enter at your own risk. But above all...
Share and
Enjoy.
