Past Site News:
August
31, 2012 - Another year has passed and
once again I'm here with my annual apology for not
much happening on the site for the last 364
days... So, Sorry. I've corrected a few thing,
which of course causes other problems, and I'd
been looking at converting the bulk of the site to
Drupal or something. The good news is that were
still here and working on decade mark 2, the last
couple years have been good for GQ merchandise,
and I've gotten a hold of several good
references... still searching for surface scanner
and shuttle stuff... so I may start updating the
blueprint project this year. The bad news is that
some of the “works in progress” blueprints, and
all the work I did for the technical manual, was
lost in multiple hardware & media failures
late last year so I've got to start from scratch
on them... which is not necessary a bad thing as
it was a sort of a rambling rough first draft and
I think I have a much clearer idea of what I'd
like to do with it. It's also been my intention
for some time to broaden the sites focus a bit,
while still keeping it Galaxy Quest-centric...
Exactly what that means is a still a bit fuzzy...
but hey, what else is new :)
August
5 ,
2007 - Well,
another year (and then some) has gone by
since the last update... it's been that
slow... and as one would expect, sadly
there's nothing new to report. A lot has
change over the last couple years... at the end
of 2005, DreamWorks was purchased by Paramount,
and the future of Galaxy Quest rest in new
hands... and I think it's time the Questarian
took a look at where we're going, and what we
plan to do when we get there. While I'm
not looking to end the site for another couple
years at least, I do think it's time I look at
new things I can do with the site, while still
keeping with the fandom theme.
What this all
means is that we're going on a hiatus... we're
not gone, we'll be around to keep the dust off,
and making sure the roof doesn't cave in,
but until business picks up again we won't be
doing any active development on site.
July
22, 2006 - Ok, so it's been a tad longer
than usual between updates... I haven't done
anything with the main site in the last 6
months, and sadly there really hasn't been
much to miss in the world of Galaxy Quest
fandom. Thank you to everyone that sent
letters of support! Sorry I haven't been
able to get back to you all... Been away from
the site.
Well,
we're still in the same boat we were back in
January... The forums are dead, Not counting
spam we're averaging a bit less then 1 email a
month, and there hasn't been had any new
news to report.
The
site's renewal period is coming up in a couple
months, so we will be here for at least another
year, and as I've said before, my goal is to try
keeping the site going for at least another
four. The one of the things that got
put down last year that I do hope to finally
finish is the "GQ Technical Manual"
For
the mean time, the Questarian is in idle mode..
We'll I'll be doing some clean up and a few
updates over course of the month, but very
little beyond that. Should things pick up again
we'll be back in full gear! If your a fan
of GQ, I really encourage you to
participate! write a story, make a
picture, Look for potato chips that resemble Dr.
Lazarus... anything at all.

JANUARY
9, 2006 - Galaxy Quest and
Questarian.com celebrate their 6th
anniversary! It's been slow the last
couple years, fan mail is kind of rare
these days, and updates have been few and far
between. A big thanks to the guys
that used the forums over the last year,
It's good to see that there's some life
there. Thanks to everyone that emailed the
Questarian in 2005, and I'd like to apologize to
everyone I didn't get to email back... some of
it got eaten by spam filters, some I just never
had a chance to respond to. Sorry I haven't been
on my own forums much. I'd like to
say I'll be around more this year... I'd like to
say that :) The site will be around
for another year, and I'm hoping to do at least
another 4. Ten years would be a nice run I
think :) As we're pretty dead these
day's, and it's depressing to watch the virtual
cobwebs form on these pages, I'm going to be
branching the site into other areas this year,
more of general Sci-fi fandom stuff and other
interests. The Questarian is still a
dedicated Galaxy Quest Fan site, and if
fan interest picks up (or a sequel appears)
we'll shift back into high gear! But until
then, I'll be working on a lot of new
content in new directions in 2006.
