                        | 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. |
