I'm suprised by the past tense - AFAIK it's still running and being added to. I check out the new articles on H2G2 quite frequently.
The aim and content are very different from Wikipedia (and presumably from Citizendium). They tend to be quirky, humourous articles on subjects obviously of personal interest to the author (it's a surprisingly good place to look up recipes), often with a British slant. It's good fun, and interesting, but not so useful for actually finding things out as Wikipedia. So it fills a slightly different niche - not so much encylopedia as a good quality pub conversation.
