Simpsons Channel | News Archive

Archived News: 2002

9/20/02 - Going, Going, How Long Before We're Gone?

There's been a little trend in the past couple of months. A trend to shut down. All that remains of The Springfield Shopper today is a flash cartoon spelling their demise; similarly, The Simpsons Odyssey has disappeared without prior notice. And now The Simpsons Folder is offline. All this in one week.

The future of The Simpsons community now rests with very few sites. In fact, you could count them on one hand. The Simpsons Archive, Last Exit To Springfield, Eye On Springfield, The Simpsons Sourcebook, and The Simpsons Showcase are what we believe to be the five elite sites remaining, and updates are lacking all around. Four of these have been hassled by Fox. It's not often that I use my space here to rant about the community, but The Simpsons Channel thrives on the community being alive. We will cease to exist if this continues. We only have Fox and their lawyers to blame; if this is how they want the web to look it will surely damage their show. I don't want to shut down, but the fact is when my domain renewal comes up in December, I wont be paying it if the community continues to break. If we were to do a link update tomorrow, every category would be empty and we'd be struggling to fill our top 20! Enjoy us while you can folks, we may not be here for much longer.

9/17/02 - Powersauce Just Got More Amazing!

Eye On Springfield is back after being hit by Fox last month. The site is now housed at powersauce.com, previously home to Behind The Laughter. As if the old design wasn't good enough, the site has been redesigned and it's just as good! Like never before seen, the site uses several light colour shades in a compact layout reminiscent of a music-type site. The header can be changed by clicking an image, and several information boxes have been implemented nicely. Better than ever before, check it out!

8/27/02 - Closing The Simpsons Folder

Another old site is added to the 'offline/shut down' pile today, with The Simpsons Folder being forced off their domain by its owner; who stressed that he was no longer interested in paying the bills. "You have eight days left". With no other immediate options, Jukka has closed the site and it will cease to exist early next month. "I have no clue when it will be back again, if ever". Lets hope this isn't the case. We'll give you further details if it arrives.

8/25/02 - Not Just A Message Board...

It's THE Message Board. Hosted at the former home of Beyond Blunderdome, the message board provides an alternative to other boards and seems set to have a bright future if it gets enough members. Check it out.

Springfield! Springfield! has been caught by Fox. All episodes and downloads have been removed, but the good news this time around is that the site remains online.

8/24/02 - Catching Up With The News

The Springfield Files was taken off the net after a C&D was sent to the site's host. The owner hopes the site will return in future. The Simpsonary has been redesigned. Insert Caption Here has also been redesigned and is now under new management. A Milhouse Divided has moved to a temporary address but the owner hopes to be back at ET when it returns.

8/13/02 - Fox Had Their Eyes On Springfield

Will it ever end? Fox has struck again, this time taking Eye On Springfield off the net due to a notice to its host. The owner says the site will return after the dust has settled on the matter. We'll keep you informed.

Planet Hype has already received a makeover, as well as a barrage of new content. Check it out.

8/5/02 - Revamping The Simpsons Gallery

The Simpsons Gallery has received a new design by the owner today, who explains that problems with the old design were the reason for the change. The result is a design similar to the last but has vast graphic improvements and lighter shades of blue, so now it looks even better. Make sure you read the whole update for the latest changes within the site.

8/4/02 - The Simpsons Sourcebook Goes Gold

We reported on The Simpsons Sourcebook's temporary closure yesterday and today the site is back online with a new design and focus. In the layout factor the site is similar to before, keeping the same look and header, but adding black as one of its main colors. The site is also subtitled "the golden years" which is the site's new focus: building a dedication to the show's first ten seasons. The site is also now available in six different languages! How's that for a feat. Take a look.

Bart Simpson Dedication is nearing it's first anniversary, and to celebrate, there is a brand new design. Many similarities to before but the improvements are good.

8/3/02 - Fox Sunk My Battleship

More shenannigans today. The Simpsons Sourcebook is closed, but whether or not it's FOX related is unknown at the moment. The site will return later today.

Grizzled, a tribute to Jasper has been redesigned. More or less the same look but the improvements are good. Have a look for yourself.

Springfield UK has a brand new design. It looks pretty nice, and while I don't remember the old design I'm sure this one is better.

8/2/02 - A Sad Day In The Simpsons Community

Fox have taken the next step in the bid to bring down The Simpsons on the internet: contacting the owners of the servers. Evergreen Terrace, as we know it is no more. The site will be taken off nohomers.net and be given a home elsewhere under a new owner and a much lighter scale of content. Check out the domain for further details on the future of the site. The site has basically been ripped to shreds by Fox, and is not the first nor the last...

Beyond Blunderdome also appears to have been hit with a C&D. There is currently nothing at the domain, which seems like the quickest thing to do when hit by a C&D.

Furthermore, Last Exit To Springfield's host received a similar letter to that of Evergreen Terrace. Me being the owner of LETS, I honestly have greater things on my mind than the future of the site and it will remain intact until I receive further word by my hosts.

On a side note, The Simpsons Channel was also mentioned in the LETS C&D letter. We currently do not know what has been considered "illegal" but to think either links, news, or editorials are illegal is absolutely ludicrous.

I should imagine the sites listed here are not the only ones affected at this time. We'll give you further details as it happens.

8/1/02 - How About Madman Moe's Pressure Cooker?

Madman Moe's has opened today. The site is dedicated to Moe and features loads of multimedia, games, information and contests. Nice simple design, worth a look.

The Springfield SOS has another new design. It has improvements in the like of the previous design. Maggie And Eric: 12 Years Beyond has another new design similar to previous styles. Looking great as always.

7/28/02 - Eeeeeeek! It's eSimpsons Again!

eSimpsons is back after a lengthy absence from the net mostly due to hosting issues. It has been given a complete overhaul since we last saw it, featuring a completely new blue design. It looks great. The content is all new and already growing. The site has a reputation for disappearing quite quickly, lets hope this isn't the case this time.

7/25/02 - Planet Hype Worth The Hype?

Planet Hype is a brand new Simpsons site which has been in the works for a while. The site has finally opened today. Featuring a great design and some excellent content at launch, it's one to watch.

The Simpsons Top 50 is back after a dismal launch last time. The site is now looking better than ever.

Springfield Indulgence is almost a year old. To celebrate, the site has reopened and been given a new design.

What If the Simpsons was different? This new site creates possible scenarios just for shits and giggles.

7/18/02 - Odd-To-See A New Odyssey

The Simpsons Odyssey has a brand new design. It is layed out in a similar style to before and features blue as its main color again. While this new design is still very good, I still hadn't got over the previous one. Nice work otherwise; Check it out.

It was only a matter of time. Simpsons 100 got flamed for unfairly ranking character sites so Top 20 Character Sites does what everybody wanted.

7/11/02 - The Simpsons Station Sounds Off

The Simpsons Sound Station has been shut down due to an official Cease and Desist notice which was sent to the owner yesterday. Since the site only offered sounds, it has no lifeline to keep itself online. In addition to sounds, the site was asked to remove metatags (he had metatags? what a naughty little bitch), and was able to keep its image of Lisa in the logo if it displayed a disclaimer. Dennis is back, nuttier than ever.

7/10/02 - Somewhere Beyond The Dome Of Blunder

Beyond Blunderdome is back on the net, a few days before originally planned. The new layout is simpler than before and dare I say it... weird. Yes, there are a lot of Jeff elements in this design; some of which lead me to believe crack is involved. Useless sections have been replaced with useless sections, there's some new content, and updates will be more frequent. I'm wondering what he's on, you will too. Take a look.

7/5/02 - Maggie Makes Three In Germany

The German fan site And Maggie Makes Three is back online today after an absence of more than a year. I can't remember the site as it was before, but it certainly looks good and has some nice content to offer to German Maggie fans.

The Springfield SOS is a site that is redesigned a lot. They are definitely improving. The latest version is the best yet, though there is still room for improvement. Well done and keep trying.

7/3/02 - The Community Is Taking A Summer Break.

The Simpsons Network, one of many sites to be given that title, is back from the dead. I vaguely remember this one, but I'll take the owners word for it: it's better than ever. The site is sporting a nice brand new design and a whole lot of new content with more still to come.

The Springfield Files is celebrating one year online with a new design. It's similar to before, featuring dark red and grey as opposed to the old blue. Navigation is the same, so not a huge change.

6/28/02 - Big Jim Is The Beer Baron.

A nice little Rex Banner tribute site has been given a clean new design. Low on colour, doesn't fill up much of the screen, but looks pretty good.

The Simpsons Sea has been C&D'd yet again. It has just recovered from one of these but is back in the poo again with FOX. No word on what will happen with the content, but it looks like the site may be down for a little while.

6/19/02 - Take Me Take Me Take Me Take Me Again

Mount Splashmore has been given a brand new design. The design was made by Dima and then recoded by one of its staff members. It is a huge change from the previous design, using different shades of blue which really fits in with the waterslide theme. Whether it's better or worse than the old one is up to you. Check it out.

6/17/02 - Dedicated To.. Bart Simpson

Bart Simpson Dedication is back in the hands of its original owner. Some slight tweaks have been made to the design and the site is now located at a subfolder of gummybeer.com. Same great site, have a look.

The Springfield Shopper is in legal trouble over its extension on The Complete Guide To OFF. Basically the owner has been told to remove the pages since the latest seasons will be covered in the new book "The Simpsons Beyond Forever".

6/16/02 - I'm Sorry, You'll Have To Leave!

A new site titled Springfield Arcade has opened today. It is 100% dedicated to providing its visitors with Simpsons fun, ranging from contests to Java-based games. There is a scoreboard at the top of the page which will be updated daily. The more points you get throughout the site, the higher you will appear on the list. The design is also quite nice and unique.

6/15/02 - Go Simpsonic With The Simpsons!

J.Re*s Simpsons Site is no more. Before you panic, don't worry, it's just changed it's name and will now be known as Go Simpsonic!. With the name change comes a brand new design and a bunch of new sections.

6/12/02 - Carl Gets Some Inner Netting

From the creator of A Home For Lenny and My Willie comes a brand new character site titled Carl Crazy. As you'd expect, it's a dedication to Carl, so this and his Lenny page pair up quite nicely. The new site contains some great content already, as well as a teriffic clean design. The site is housed at getduffed.com with the owners other sites. Check it out.

6/9/02 - Willie, Lenny, And Wiggum On The Move

A bunch of former Smoovenet-hosted sites have been on the move recently. The latest sites to move are My Willie and A Home For Lenny, previously hosted at lardlad.com are now on getduffed.com.

Springfield Paradise has been given an excellent new design. The French site was designed by Chris from Duff N Pretzels and features a Jebediah statue with characters parachuting in clouds. Looks awesome.

More new designs from France, this time The Simpsons Park has a brand new look with a forest theme. Another really good design and definitely an improvement. Duffland has changed its design thanks to Johnsy. The new look is better than before.

5/26/02 - When You Want Grease, Go To The Source!

The Springfield Source (that's SOURCE, not Sourcebook) has been opened today. It features a great quality design and all the content from the now deceased Simpsons Land plus more. Looks like it has a lot to offer the fans and should fill Simpsons Land's void quite nicely as well as establish itself as a great new site.

5/25/02 - His Burns Are Very Serious

Serious Burns has been redesigned. The new look of the site is much more professional and cleaner than the last. In addition, nine new sections have been added which makes the site huge compared to before.

5/6/02 - Another Week Of Springfield Weekly

4/27/02 - Even More Milhouse To Go Around

4/20/02 - Professor Frink Redesigns His Glayvin

Oy My Glayvin has a brand new design thanks to the familiar name of Sol. The new design is better than the last one which was basically a tiny cube. Looks a little blank right now but might look better once updates roll in.

Adam looks like he'll be keeping the site in good hands.

4/12/02 - Simpsons Tall Tales Is No More

Simpsons Tall Tales is "no more" but the title says it promises to "be back soon". Nothing like contradicting yourself. It seems that the site has indeed shut down due to a lack of interest but will not be back. If any sites are interested in obtaining some of STT's content, get in touch with the owners.

All subsidiaries have disappeared from Last Exit To Springfield due to hosting issues. If you wish to host them, I'm sure they'd appreciate offers.

4/3/02 - Server Move Complete; Eric Dances

The Simpsons Sourcebook has received another cease and desist order from Fox. Not sure how many this is now, but it has happened before. Much of the site's content is mentioned in the letter, but we've yet to hear from the site owner as to what will happen. If anything big happens we'll keep you posted.

The Simpsons Darkroom has a new design. It could do with a bit of colour, and that blue isn't good on the eyes.

3/27/02 - The Simpsons Channel Top 20

Since the closure of the Top 100 is likely to increase our traffic we'd like to offer people what they went to the other site for. 100 is such a huge number for us to handle, so I present to you our newest section The Top 20. Only the best sites will be picked for this list which will be updated often at our leisure.

3/19/02 - Simpsons Tall Tales Just Got Taller

Simpsons Tall Tales is back online today with a brand new design. While I like it, it uses the color green which will send the anti-green group into a frenzy. The site is better than ever, and now has a contest with action figures as prizes!

An Itch To Scratch has a great looking new design. Very simple, yet effective, and a great improvement over the previous one.

Also in the news today: Insert Caption Here has a nice new design. Good colors, nice and clean. Can't complain. Springfield! Springfield has moved off to a frinkian.com subdomain. You can still access it at the original address.

This is the best design that I've seen from this site, and new content put up to replace the lost files is good.

CBG Times has a new design. Looks a bit messy and still needs some work.

3/14/02 - Would You Like Fries With That?

3/13/02 - One German Site Dies, Another Is Reborn

Day Of The Jackanapes was set to return once it found a new host, but today the owners have announced the site will not be coming back. They have left one final message on their site to all the fans, and if you're English, in general it says that the site was too much trouble to continue with and they didn't have the desire to do so anymore. It's sad to hear that a great site wont be back.

Planet Simpsons has been relaunched and is now available in English as well as German, so more people can enjoy the content. Check it out.

3/9/02 - Fight Fight Fight! Bite Bite Bite!

3/7/02 - The Simpsons Gallery Gets Spiffed Up

The Simpsons Gallery has been given it's fifth design today, and it bares a resemblance to one of it's previous designs.

Oh, and WHERE IS BOB?

3/5/02 - Just Homer Becomes Just "HOMER"

After promising a new design for quite some time, HOMER: A Tribute has finally been relaunched. The new site has a great new green white and grey colour scheme.

SnF subsidiaries Chief Clancy Wiggum and Oy My Glayvin have moved to teamhomer.net.

3/4/02 - Expanding The Simpsons Odyssey

Our very last mention of Short'n'Fun today, I promise! The Simpsons Odyssey, as you may remember was redesigned last week. This week it's becoming even bigger and better than ever. Yesterdays closure of Short'n'Fun was actually a merger with The Simpsons Odyssey. All content is now housed at this growing new site. Check it out.

3/3/02 - No Longer Short. No Longer Fun

In a sudden move, Short'n'Fun closed its doors today and will not be back. This move has come so suddenly and the only information we have is that posted at the site itself. In my mind it is likely that this site will be back under a more Simpson-friendly name. We'll keep you posted if anything changes.

The Principal's Office has moved to a new address and has become a subsidiary of Springfield Weekly.

3/2/02 - Another Short'n'Fun Subsidiary? Absolutely!

Seems like every week I'm reporting about a new/redesigned Short'n'Fun subsidiary. Today a brand new site titled Absolutely Marge has opened its doors. It has a design you would expect from the owner, and the amount of content is great considering it just opened.
