One of the longest surviving Simpsons sites that shaped the community has joined the stack of sites closing recently.

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.

Like never before seen, the site uses several light colour shades in a compact layout reminiscent of a music-type site.
