[quote=”SadGeezer”]Most of us are pretty depressed at the current state of TV Sci Fi. MOst of us would agree that there isn’t any new stuff worthy of inclusion as a guide on this site.[/quote]

I disagree! There is much vitality in the world of cult TV sci-fi. What is stagnant and leads to poor traffic to the site is the construct of this site. By asking the fundamental definition that defines this site – Sadgeezer – you have opened the door to a “zero base review” of this site and it’s purpose.

My Evaluation Of Sadgeezer’s Site:

First major complaint from all I have encountered is that the main pages take too long to load. That is a big turn-off. To give you an example I was talking to a friend on messenger and asked that person to evaluate my post on Sadgeezer – first response was whining about how long it takes to navigate the site….. Perhaps there is some way to keep the helpful pages but have a simplified navigation for repeat visiters…..

Secondly – this site needs a constitution. This is one that you will have to mull over Sadgeezer, since it means giving up some measure of control over the site. The best part of it is seeing the site get a life of it’s own and go where the membership wants it to – like watching a child grow up and make it’s own decisions and destiny. The rights of members and scope of actions by administrators and moderators, how forums are created/disassembled, what constitutes “cult TV sci-fi (why isn’t a show like “Futureramma” at Sadgeezer if there is an interest…..). A constitution would allow people to use the rules to make a web site a bit more unpredictable – but a lot more interesting and popular.

Thirdly – this site needs more creative freedom to attract creative talent. What does Sadgeezer offer the writer who posts on this site…..exposure. What does the writer offer Sadgeezer when he contributes to the site…..an interesting and viable venue. However – to attract creativity…..you must not stifle it. This is an adult web site and sexual/violent fiction should not be discouraged unless it violates laws like hate laws , child pornography, etc.. If people can not express themselves at this site – they will simply go somewhere else. Trolling is not a major problem here as the site is too fragmented; trolls like sites that “funnel” all users into one forum where they have maximum exposure. A user group like the one Jhevz has would be a good compromise if there is some friction on this issue…..

Plus side of Sadgeezer is obvious: Established and respected web site run by likable people who are there for the love of the pastime.

Evaluation: Sadgeezer needs a conceptual facelift to keep it viable and exciting.
