News

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
