Interesting and lovely to see ekşi sözlük getting mentioned on HN (even though I remember seeing ssg on HN before if I remember correctly).

I'm curious if there are any similar (in the vein of Douglas Adams' "Guide to the Galaxy") websites with a geographically wider adoption, basically its English version.

I remember İTÜ Sözlük changing its brand to Instela to go somewhat global. But looks like they failed.

I also remember seeing a "Guide" in some Douglas Adams related website, but it wasn't really an active website as far as I remember.
