Sad really, but all they are doing are reproducing what the internet already does but in a more structured way.
Unless their content shows up in search engines, they've cut themselves off.

OhI'll admit to applying for an h2g2 job a while back when Douglas Adams was still with us, but more out of fandom than reality...
