Well here it is, the long awaited pre-launch of the Sci Fi Geeks website. I say pre-launch because there are still a few sections under construction. It's been a long wait, but we're finally up and running, and we've got some great content.

Some of you may notice that the site is now showing some different features than what was on the original homepage. Originally we had hoped we would be able to include discussion forums, hosting for group member artwork and original movies, and an IMDB style database of sci fi movies, shows, books, & games. We'd still love to impliment these things, but unfortunately all that is just way too much to handle without a staff. Hopefully down the road we can expand, but for now the decision has been made for the site to focus solely on sci fi as it exists in Second Life.

The links above are pretty self explanatory. We've got information about the Sci Fi Geeks group, a collection of pages dedicated to the museum, a section for Sci Fi Supplies product details (complete with the highly asked about to-do list), and pages for SL tutorials. The latter two are still under construction, as are certain other pages throughout the site, but I think everyone will be pleasantly suprised when you see what's going to be available.

This page will be your source for general informaton about what's happening with the site, so look here first to know if and when any other part of the site has been updated. The tentative plan for now is to have the missing museum and product pages completed and online over the next few days, and if there's time, a tutorial or two. Expect additional totrials to trickle in on a semi-regular basis from that point on. (I know there are tons of SL tutorial sites already out there, but rest assured what you find here will be a bit different than what you may have seen before. Starship building anyone? Hint hint.)

That's the news for now. See you in world. Live long and prosper, thanks for all the fish, etc, etc, etc.
