| January 31, 2008 | By: TrekMovie.com Staff 34 comments so far

Due the the increased traffic TrekMovie.com is again migrating to new servers. Currently testing is being done, but over the next few days you may notice some issues. This work is being done to both improve the site performance and to allow the addition of new features. We appreciate your patience.

thanks, Anthony.

Thanks for the heads up, Anthony.

I guess you can disregard the message I left at Feedback.

Peace. Live long and prosper.

Do we really need all this “improving”? Is this a reboot!? ;-)

I just feel compelled to express my gratitude for this site. I hope you are reaping some kind of rewards beyond the tangible. You’re doing a great job, Anthony.

Oops! I meant, “beyond the intangible”.

this isn’t canon

But It’ll be same…but different.

Are you not a TrekMovie Purist? These “new features” weren’t on the original trekmovie!

Sometimes I have to wait 4 – 5 maybe 6 seconds for the page to load, so I hum the Star Trek theme to pass the time. It didn’t used to be that way.

i have reimagined a reboot of the reinvention to reinvigorate it

Congrats on needing to upgrade. Means your doing something right to bring so much traffic!

I hope the move goes well and thanks for all of your hard work!

10 – All this while respecting the original ;-)

Love the site as is. Good articles and snappy comebacks. Don’t add so many features it becomes unwieldy. Keep it simple, please.

Why back to eBay, what happened to the Maxim babes?

The three R”s used to be Readin’, Ritin’ n’ ‘Rithmatic.

They better keep the old TOS yellow and blue theme. Non of the new slick black “Under Construction” stuff! No. Way. Spikes in the nacelles! :-)

Anthony:

I know you mentioned this before when you were talking about updating but is there any plans to change the font and background? Several others asked if you could either use a bolder font or lose the gray background to make the site easier on the eyes? Other than that the site is perfect!

>> “to allow the addition of new features”

extremally promising!
Many thanks for the Site to you, Anthony!

Ping quick and faster! ;)

LOL! You mean the ugly chicks with huge gazongas that used to live in the upper right corner at this site?

Peace. Live long and prosper.

Absolutly, should have made Nimoy’s book.

Yes! Keep it simple, Anthony! More fun that way!

Excelllent Work Anthony, you really care for the community!!! :-)

As long as the “new” site is cannon…. ;)

Have you thought about moving from WordPress to perhaps a custom application? I’ve noticed a lot of the popular web portal software packages have performance bottlenecks that make the increased traffic difficult to cope with.

I have considered migrating from WP to a new CMS and it may come to that, however that hasn’t been the issue. I just need to be on a more powerful set up. The one I had was fine for a while. Many sites much bigger than this like perezhilton.com and many political sites use WP.

the 2.0 design (or maybe 1.5) for this site will be with WP and the new servers…I will see how that goes for a few months before looking into migrating to a new CMS…which would be a huuuuuuuuuuuge pain.

Just curious if there will be some new features for mobile readers. It’s tough to pull up this site on a mobile sometimes.

Sweet, I can’t wait to see the “remastered” site!! :D

BLACK TYPE PLEASE! my old eyes need contrast

YES LARGER FONT AND MORE CONTRAST !!!

or different font and/or background.

Whatever, anthony. it’s your site. you don’t have to pay attention to the rest of us unless you REALLY REALLY REALLY want to. :P lol j/k do your thing. :D

What? No trailer?

Anyway, Anthony, great work! You and your team are able to keep the franchise alive and attract a wider public – all without selling your own…daddy.

just want to say – this site is amazing! :)

i appreciate the feedback. Testing is going well on the migration and right now there are literally two trekmovie.coms…sometime on Monday we will switch all traffic to the new server

once complete we will start with new features and new designs

if you have any thoughts…let us know in the feedback page
