Welcome to Simpsons Channel v14

Hello visitors! We’re very excited today to finally unveil our brand new design for Simpsons Channel. This is the site’s first new look since we introduced the Wordpress content management system back in September 2008. Many of the successful elements from the previous design remain while others have been drastically overhauled.

Our old discussion pages have gone and in place you will see a ‘Forum’ section. This will allow our users to post topics of their choosing and allow for discussion that was previously limited. With that, our members are given a stronger focus, and you will notice you can now log in and out, or check your login status at the top of every page.

But the biggest change today is to our design. Way back when we started in 1997, every other Simpsons fansite would feature a cloud background, which would eventually become the bane of every single Simpson’s web goer’s existence. And due to that popular public opinion, the clouds have not been seen on any popular fan site for at least a decade.

We feel that we should preserve such an iconic piece of the show and indeed its web history, as it is something that has existed on every single episode since Bart the Genius. So, we’ve taken the opportunity and we’re going to own the cloud background, to usher in a new decade of our favorite family. We trust that their new high-definition appearance wont rekindle distant memories of websites’ past, and hopefully fill your mind with positive thoughts on our brand new look :) .

What do you think of the new-look Simpsons Channel?

    Adam, you have excelled yourself sir. Top design, much improved regarding the sidebars, they did look cluttered before and it looks much better and cleaner. Also nice to have a bright screen, makes it give off a more positive attitude as well :)

    If I am being horrendously picky, I could say the clouds do seem to stop abruptly, but I don’t think anyone is going to moan about that.

    Plus, in the posts, is there something that will say ‘by Adam’ or ‘by Brian’? You know, just to avoid confusion.

    But I do love it, thanks again :)
