It was in September 1997 that the first incarnation of Sci-Fi Heaven stumbled onto the internet. Containing a list of Starfleet ships, a guestbook and some forums, the site grew and grew. There have been ups and downs, but we’re still fighting strong and better than ever! And so,...

Forums Launched
posted by Chris McQuillan
We haven’t had a forum system for about seven or eight years, but we’ve decided that the time is right to add the capability again. Quite a few people over the last few months have asked why we don’t have one, and whilst they’re becoming less common, it seems that...

Stats: August 2012
posted by Chris McQuillan
A big thank you to all our readers for keeping our revival on track! August saw some big boosts in traffic, thanks in part to our Best Sci-Fi Show poll. Despite a mid-month hiccup as we moved servers, we enjoyed a 200% increase in traffic over July, and 30,000 of you enjoyed reading and...

In planning the development of Sci-Fi Heaven, we thought it would be a good idea to ask the most important people: the users! If you’re reading this, you’ve wound up at Sci-Fi Heaven, by accident or by design. If you’re a frequent visitor – great! If not, what would...
We’re Looking For New Writers
posted by Chris McQuillan
Fancy yourself a bit of a Sci-Fi Guru? Do you spend your life on Reddit, finding new and intriguing bits of sci-fi news and gossip? Maybe you just like science? Perhaps you’re just a dab hand at gadgets and gizmos. Whatever your poison, we’re interested. We’re looking to expand and take on some new freelance writers. The position is – at present – unpaid, although if enough content gets put online, and our revenue increases by enough, then this may well be revised. Most importantly, you’d be joining a small, quirky and very pleasant team who love to chat and discuss sci-fi. If you’ve got a...

Thank you for your patience over the last 48 hours. We are now back up and running, with some higher quality hardware behind the website. This should prevent future slowdowns during periods of exceptionally large traffic. The transition wasn’t as smooth as we might have liked, but...

As you may have noticed this evening, we have been struggling with some significant slowdown. This is a result of huge amounts of traffic coming in for our Best Sci-Fi Show Poll which seems to have become a bit of a hit over at Reddit. We are currently in the process of doing a massive...
Downtime and Upgrade
posted by Chris McQuillan
Apologies for the downtime over the last 24 hours. We decided to move our server over to another, making the site PHP5 compliant. While there is little hugely evident change on the surface, it means we get access to a nice new array of plug-ins. We hope this’ll allow us to add some...
