The site has had a lot of problems lately (last couple of years). It's grown from a couple of hundred page views per day to an average of over 20,000.

Also the content has grown exponentially with some superb reviews by some excellent SadGeezers and Lady SadGeezers.

The trouble is, that with this being one of the largest sci fi sites, it's so very hard to find stuff!

Did you know that we have:

5,670 members
17 Sci Fi Series SadGeezer Guides (web sites - Sections)
39,430 Messages in the SadBOARD
755 Episode Reviews
3,953 Pictures to download
7446 Links in the directory (SadHOO)
345 News items
78 User Choices (books & DVDs in the Sci Fi User Choice section)
We even have 13 Purity Tests!
Convention write-ups, Character bio's, Culture reviews etc.
Plus lots of comments, quotes and even Sci Fi video podcasts.

The current content management system can't really handle it very well and we're moving over to the Drupal CMS (node based content management system).

The new site is currently being developed and I'm writing scripts to port accross the existing database content from this site. The Theme will be similar or the same. The default theme will be re-vamped by the designer who did this and the previous ones, but you will also be able to select this and others as your own personal one (in the same way you can select SG-Main and SG-Lite themes now).

The search facility will be very powerful indeed and we'll be adding functionality (eg adding pictures to your posts etc.) and your own SadGeezer.Com blog, but we will simplyfy the way the site is navigated.

It's quite a way off yet (months), but I just wanted to give you guys the heads up and ask if there was anything that you would like to see added. A module perhaps, certain functionality maybe.

TheFrey: Yes there is a spell checker :)

It's going to be special! This year is the tenth aniversary of the SadGeezers Guide so I guess it needs to be!
