Table

Can you look at the table at http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/Simpsons_Comics AleWi /11:29, 2 March 2012 (EST)

Fixed. Randomno messed something up again >_> ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 11:31, 2 March 2012 (EST)

New template design

Why do the new templates such as {{Incomplete}} underlap the infobox? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 09:42, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Example? ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 09:42, 4 March 2012 (EST)

[1] And I meant new template designs. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 09:45, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Looks fine to me. What do you mean by "underlap"? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 09:46, 4 March 2012 (EST)

The right side border of {{Incomplete}} is hidden under the infobox. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phinbart (talk • contribs) 09:48, 4 March 2012

What device are you using to view Wikisimpsons? How large is your screen? I'll look into it though. The Solar Dragon 09:50, 4 March 2012 (EST)

I'm using Google Chrome. Also, it seems the center of the page stays the same even when the infobox is there. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 09:51, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Could you upload a screenshot of the error please? I've tried to reproduce it by zooming in but all that happens is that the template goes under the bottom of the infobox, not under the code of the infobox. The Solar Dragon 09:54, 4 March 2012 (EST)

View the error here: :File:Template_underlapping_infobox_error.PNG. (I was gonna upload the error image before you even replied). Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 09:55, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Could you try changing your zoom outwards and see if that does anything please? I'm trying to make a fix for this right now anyway. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 09:57, 4 March 2012 (EST)

On 90% it's alright, but I use 100%. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 10:01, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Check now please. Has that fixed it? The Solar Dragon 10:04, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Nope. Right border's still 'underlapped'. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 10:09, 4 March 2012 (EST)

I have no idea why this is happening then. I've not seen this before but Cook gets the same problem so I'm gonna blame Chrome :P I'll keep looking into it though. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 10:16, 4 March 2012 (EST)

How about putting a "|left", "|center" and "|right" on a template to help it align better. Eg. {{Incomplete|left}} would make the Incomplete template go to the left on the page. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 10:57, 4 March 2012 (EST)

I tried that and Solar might have fixed it. It's definitely right now, though! White-shirt boy#Appearances. As the messagebox template's third parameter is align, I put it as {{{2|center}}}. Now, all you have to do for any template is to add that. Then, on the page you want the aligning, if on the left write "{{<messagebox>|2=}}" and for right just do 2=right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randomno‎ (talk • contribs) 02:46, 6 March 2012

Next episode templates

Randomno has created a few templates to do with upcoming episodes. Why are they needed? --Fred (Talk) 01:38, 5 March 2012 (EST)

It was supposed to be automatic and change every time a new episode airs. However, they don't seem to have worked. I'll look into it later. The Solar Dragon 02:18, 5 March 2012 (EST)

I don't know if you've fixed it, though I might get it working in a minute. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 10:30, 5 March 2012 (EST)

Sorry, been at school. If it's still not working, I'll get round to it tonight, after the new episode stuff has been done. ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 12:06, 5 March 2012 (EST)

They should work now, but I'm not so sure about the hour. But the main problem was the template names (I added ,2012 on to them), so if we last until next year, we won't get any date problems. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 02:46, 6 March 2012 (EST)

New table prob

Not a problem as in such, but is there a way to have {{TRs}} and {{TCs}} on {{TableBodyTop}}? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 11:02, 6 March 2012 (EST)

See Template:TableBodyTopColspan and Template:TableBodyTopRowspan. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 11:03, 6 March 2012 (EST)

Thanks. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 11:23, 6 March 2012 (EST)

Trying to put TableBodyTopRowspan into the first table on User:Phinbart/Tapped_Out_Sandbox: doesn't work. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 11:28, 6 March 2012 (EST)

That what you were trying to do? The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 11:30, 6 March 2012 (EST)

Yes. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 11:30, 6 March 2012 (EST)

Just realized. Didn't put {{TableBodyTop|Build the Flanders House}}, put {{TableBody|Build the Flanders House}} Thanks anyway. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 11:32, 6 March 2012 (EST)

Down

I noticed ShoutWiki has been down since Saturday. Do you know what the problem is? Orange Ice 19:11, 7 March 2012 (EST)

Something happened to the server. That's all anyone knows. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 05:38, 8 March 2012 (EST)

Not again! Orange Ice 14:58, 8 March 2012 (EST)

Yeah, I'm afraid so. And, I'm also afraid to say, it might be for good this time. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 14:59, 8 March 2012 (EST)

Why would it be for good? A downtime is never good. :( Orange Ice 15:42, 8 March 2012 (EST)

By "for good" I mean forever. It might not be coming back... The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 15:43, 8 March 2012 (EST)

Oh. That's sad. Always thought they had potential if they could find a reliable server. Orange Ice 15:51, 8 March 2012 (EST)

Will there be an officiial announcement about the possible closing up shop? Orange Ice 16:08, 8 March 2012 (EST)

If that is the case, I would guess so via Facebook and Twitter. The Solar Dragon 16:09, 8 March 2012 (EST)

Seems there will be no real competitors for wikia left... Wikkii is ok, but thought that shout could have been better. Orange Ice 11:16, 9 March 2012 (EST)

You can use Wikkii, you can actually customize everything it just takes a little longer, I am willing to help out in any way to oppose wikia. Also Solar there is another independent wiki for That 70's show, people are still opposing wikia, yay! Escyos 21:29, 9 March 2012 (EST)

After the disaster(s) on shoutwiki, I'm wary about using another wikifarm, as the same thing could happen to it... Orange Ice 11:14, 10 March 2012 (EST)

Anything further... Or still the same? Orange Ice 10:06, 12 March 2012 (EDT)

Still the same. The Solar Dragon 13:29, 12 March 2012 (EDT)

What the heck happened to the server anyway? Thought this one was going to be far stabler than the old one. Orange Ice 13:53, 14 March 2012 (EDT)

I just got on to ShoutWiki, logged on, then nothing... | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 04:07, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

Has anything changed? Haven't heard any updates from shoutwiki in over two weeks. Orange Ice 13:36, 18 March 2012 (EDT)

The hub has been on and off for the past few days. Not sure what exactly is happening. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 13:38, 18 March 2012 (EDT)

Any news? --Orange Ice 16:31, 29 March 2012 (EDT)

No. I've pretty much given up any hope though... ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 16:32, 29 March 2012 (EDT)

Same... Orange Ice 16:42, 29 March 2012 (EDT)

Hi all. I'm emijrp, the founder of WikiTeam, a project to preserve wikis from all the Internet. We are aware of these common wikifarm issues, so, we try to save all wikifarm wikis. Federico, one of our most active users, did a backup of ShoutWiki wikis in August, 2011. It includes wikitext and images for all the wikis listed in that page (about 397 wikis). I hope this can help you to recover your data. You can import the .xml file to other wikifarm (Referata.com or other with Special:Import) and re-upload all the images. If you need help, subscribe to our mailing list and ask us. Regards. Emijrp 08:09, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

SW Facebook is gone. I guess that's it... --Orange Ice 11:08, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

No, it's still there. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 11:10, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

The Simpsons Mug

Hi, Solar. The Simpsons Mug was probably worthy of an article. Keep in mind that it is after all a merchandise. --Fred (Talk) 02:53, 9 March 2012 (EST)

No, I don't think individual mugs are worthy of an article. If we're going to have a mug article, it will be a list of mugs, similar to the The Simpsons shot glasses. ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 03:40, 9 March 2012 (EST)

Okay. Do you know any good Simpsons merchandise websites that would specialise in this particular area? --Fred (Talk) 03:46, 9 March 2012 (EST)

I'm afraid not. However, I got the list of shot glasses by just Googling "Simpsons Shot Glasses", looking on eBay and Amazon. That is a good starting point. If we're missing the mug I have after that, I'll upload a photo. ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 03:48, 9 March 2012 (EST)

Okay, great. Thanks! --Fred (Talk) 03:50, 9 March 2012 (EST)

IRC

Is it just me or is there a problem with CAPTCHAs on IRC today? | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 08:09, 11 March 2012 (EDT)

No idea as I use ChatZilla, not the Freenode gateway :P ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 08:11, 11 March 2012 (EDT)

I think I've downloaded ChatZilla, what do I do now? | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 08:24, 11 March 2012 (EDT)

How do I get onto Wikisimpsons channel, then? I'm on ChatZilla now. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 08:26, 11 March 2012 (EDT)

Type "/server Freenode" Then, once you're connected to Freenode, type "/join #wikisimpsons". ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 08:31, 11 March 2012 (EDT)

Affiliate?

Since we are in need of more allies, you guys should really consider affiliating with our wiki (http://www.khwiki.net/ ). I'm no admin, but KrytenKoro is. UxieLover1994 09:56, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

I'll have to think about this. All of our affiliates so far are either Simpsons-related or are related to The Simpsons in some way. However, I'm pretty sure Kingdom Hearts has never been mentioned on The Simpsons. This is not a definite no yet, I'll discuss it with other admins later. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 09:58, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

Blocking

Thanks for blocking LAITH10! I was just about to come on IRC and suggest you block him/her. Have you also blocked the sockpuppet account 01HTIAL? Also, http://pl.simpsonswiki.net/ is kinda up. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 15:13, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

Yup, both are blocked. And it's a he, I know exactly who the vandal is >_> Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 15:14, 13 March 2012 (EDT)

Vandal

I'm sure 136.148.234.21 vandalised The Ren & Stimpy Show. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 07:39, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

Not really... he just listed the plot for the entire clip, including quotes. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 07:45, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

Oh, okay. It seemed a bit rude. Oh, well. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 07:49, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

The Simpsons Sports Collection Top Trumps

Link please. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 15:23, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

According to that link it's released in the third quarter of 2012. When's that? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 15:27, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

Seriously? You don't know when the third quarter is? Well, the year is made up of 12 months. 12 divide by 4 = 3. The third quarter would be months 7-9. Which means any time between July - September. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 15:32, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

According to the fiscal year article on Wikipedia it's April 1, 2012 - June 30, 2012. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 15:36, 19 March 2012 (EDT)

IRC?

Hey, Solar. I was wondering if you were on IRC about 5 or 10 minutes ago? Thank you. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 04:42, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

Yes, I was and still am now, You quit just as I was about to send "Hi" to you :P The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 04:43, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

Sorry, I'll go there. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 04:50, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

{{Tapped Out}}

For some reason, {{Tapped Out}} appears after the tab outline. Can you fix this? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 16:48, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

The problem is that there's a div in {{Simpsons games}}, so it closes the tab. I'm not sure if I want to remove the div right now, as it will kill all the other pages.--Cook879 16:56, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

Maybe I could put the Tapped Out template first. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 17:04, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

Previewed it, don't work. Let's wait till Solar and Jake are more active, Cook. They might be this weekend. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 17:06, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

The div tags are no longer needed in templates as we have an extension which fixes the issues caused. The Solar Dragon 17:13, 23 March 2012 (EDT)

Can you put a notice on the sitenotice about the meeting at 8pm (GMT)? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 15:57, 24 March 2012 (EDT)

Reference page

Hey, would you be able to restore the Godzilla reference page you deleted a while back? I've got more than enough references. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 22:27, 25 March 2012 (EDT)

I've restored the history, you'll have to go through it to find the references now. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 01:11, 26 March 2012 (EDT)

Thank you. :) --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 11:56, 26 March 2012 (EDT)

Kind of rude?

" I'm a total and utter dick" and "people who can't take my shit and become friends with the people who can take my shit" from your user page. I don't really care about your language, but some people might. I doesn't sound so nice coming from the head of this wiki. FatHomer^Talk 14:25, 26 March 2012 (EDT)

Might remove the first part. The second part is fine though. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 14:27, 26 March 2012 (EDT)

Strange message

At the top and bottom of RecentChanges and edit pages is the message, "Array ( [0] => Rollback )" On file pages its just "Array" on the top and bottom. Why is this happening? Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 15:17, 27 March 2012 (EDT)

Not sure, maybe Jake was messing about with something. It seems to have fixed now though so no worries. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:18, 27 March 2012 (EDT)

Solar is right; I was just working on something in the code. --Jake 15:24, 27 March 2012 (EDT)

216.66.162.235

I think I finished cleaning up after all of his latest shit. Sorry 'bout the profanity, but it really IS the most appropriate term. I blocked the IP for 2 weeks, but depending on what other IPs have been involved in the spate of vandalism, you might want to consider an IP range block on 216.66.x.x. -- Mythigator 20:29, 28 March 2012 (EDT)

Done. We had 216.66.1x.x blocked, so he was just out of range. --Jake 21:37, 28 March 2012 (EDT)

According to a Whois lookup, that IP belongs to an outfit called Look Communications, which has high-speed Internet service among its product offerings. They're in the Toronto area, which might shed some light on how it is that someone in their service is wreaking so much havoc at midnight UK time. Damn lucky I decided to have a look at the wiki before my g/f and I went out for dinner and a hockey game, or Heaven knows how much that jerk would have done. Anyway, because it's a Class C IP address, anything in 216.66.162.x for sure belongs to them. It's possible that they've got more than one address block allocated to them, but probably not the entire 216.66.x.x range. So if we find out more specific information about what IPs they have, and it turns out that the vandal IPs all belong to Look, it might be worth scaling back the block later on. For now, though, the larger range block is a reasonable precaution. That's my $.02 worth after some quick investigation. -- Mythigator 02:01, 29 March 2012 (EDT)

Thanks for spotting that Mythigator. I've tried another range block so hopefully this will work. Although I'm not 100% certain on how range blocks work, I'm gaining a better understanding of them so hopefully this one will work for sure. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 04:05, 29 March 2012 (EDT)

Hey Solar, seeming you're sitting at home doing hardly anything all day, there's a nice collection of his spam on fanon. I would clear up but pressed the wrong button, and the college won't let me into internet options to allow cookies so i can log in. It's not that important due to small readership, but still. Also could you range block him there? Cheers.--Cook879 07:19, 29 March 2012 (EDT)

It's something wrong on the other wikis, I can't not log in on the Swedish, it's says I must allow cookies, but it's allow. /AleWi 11:26, 29 March 2012 (EDT)

The range block I've put in place now should block 65,536 IP addresses. Hopefully, we've got him now. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 16:14, 29 March 2012 (EDT)

Just to let you know, I have returned to the wiki after a long period away. If you need anything editing or any new images uploading, give me a shout.

Hey, welcome back. We have several images that need to be uploaded (see Category:Articles needing images and Category:Articles in need of higher quality images) and we have our many stubs, you know where to find those. We have gags pages to make (a new tab I decided would help us improve), crew member articles to make and a long list of wanted pages. So, just jump in and edit what you want. ;) The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 10:00, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

File:Burns and Gloria.gif

I think we should use this image, as promos are better as they are official images released by FOX, not just screenshots. Therefore, could you please restore that file and replace the images? Thanks, | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 17:57, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

That wasn't a promo. It was an image with a banner on the bottom of another website. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 17:58, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

... What does that mean? Still, it was a better image. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 18:01, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

You conflicted me before. Here's what I wrote:

And please restore File:The Pacifier - Binky.png, as I was about to use that. Please stop being so fussy over unused files, as well. As long as we don't get too many, or we have ones that will probably never be used, it's fine as it is. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 18:02, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

Restored.--Cook879 20:11, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

Randomno, it means, at the bottom of the image, there was a banner for another website! Please look at these things before you upload them. Also, try to use images soon after uploading them. I delete all unused files at times I remember/feel like it and if it's unused and I can't see a use for it, it is deleted. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 04:27, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

Adding content without breaking copyrights

• Please read the full discussion. Now based on everything you read, how do I go about editing this wiki without breaking copyrights, because it is MY work from the other wiki, bottomline. Secondly, it's all the same facts when you get right down to it, and none of us truly own it. Things are often tweaked a bit, whenever there are grammar and spelling errors at concern. --Kid Sonic 09:58, 31 March 2012 (EDT)
  • As long as it is your own work and no one else has contributed to it, it is fine. Minor spelling mistakes etc. would also be fine to correct. But, if anyone has added any other information to it, you can't take that as well. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 10:00, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

If I was a new user, I would not come back. You also add it when it was 31th March in USA. /AleWi 05:28, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

New users will look at this then realize it's April Fools Day AleWi. I'm not changing it until the 2nd April. The Solar Dragon 05:30, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

C'mon, Ale, grow a sense of humor. :-) I can't stand Family Guy but I thought the Family Guy-i-fied version of the main page was a pretty good April Fool's joke. -- Mythigator 23:33, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

I though I had come to another site first, but the I realized it was April fools. It's very annoying when you click on "Recent changes" haha. FatHomer^Talk 06:12, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

I know, I keep falling for it myself but it's great as it's unexpected XD ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 06:13, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

I just go on the main page and click "Recent changes". Also, Solar, you need to archive this, desperately. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 06:22, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

I'll archive once discussions here die down. I don't like archiving with ongoing discussions. The Solar Dragon 06:29, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

Oh, okay. Sorry. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 06:30, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

Remove files

Done. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 06:48, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

Proof that I added such stuff? Plus, it's April Fools, if it was me who did it, it is a joke. But, without proof, there's nothing that can be done. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 14:25, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

I know, and that warning was sort of a joke. I'll ask Jake to find the edit or something. :P | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 14:27, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

Tapped Out forum thread

Can you put something on the sitenotice like this: "Have any issues with The Simpsons: Tapped Out or just want to discuss the game? Discuss the issues or anything else here." I think we should have that thread so that users can discuss the game. For example, they can discuss, issues, gameplay and more. Not many users go on the forum that often now, so I think this will help the forum be more active and not go dead. Also, we can't really discuss the game as a whole wiki on IRC, we can only wait for the meetings to discuss the game properly. Thanks, ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 08:28, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

I'm not sure. It's not really something for the wiki to discuss and we are pretty much listing all the issues on our articles. It is an incredibly buggy game from what I've heard and we're not qualified to help people with fixing these bugs. Putting that would make people believe we can fix their bugs. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 08:36, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

How about just: "Want to discuss The Simpsons: Tapped Out. You can here." That would be better, and if someone comes up with a bug that no-one on the wiki can help with, we can direct them to the EA Tapped Out forum. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 08:38, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

But why would we link users to the forums to specifically talk about Tapped Out? We would want users to talk about everything Simpsons related and wiki related. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 08:41, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

Maybe we could put something instead like "Want to discuss something Simpsons? A video game, a piece of merchandise? Go to the Wikisimpsons forums!" That WOULD help get the forum more busy. There's about 200 users on that forum that have just joined for the sake of joining. Also, we could have like a REVIEW page on the wiki/a Review thread on the forum where users could discuss and episode. There's something related to that on the agenda for the next meeting on Saturday. I'll put the REVIEW thing on the agenda, and also the forum. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 08:45, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

I think most of those users who joined the wiki are just spammers who never got round to spamming actually. But i might stick something in the anonnotice as most users know about the forums. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 08:47, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

I also think that you should add a section about tapped out on the forum. The tapped out article is the second most visited page on this wiki after the main page. FatHomer^Talk 09:38, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

FatHomer, [3] <---- Look ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 09:40, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

Oups, sorry :/ how did the forum get over 2000 members? FatHomer^Talk 09:44, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

Affiliates

Do you think Simpsons Comics News - Wordpress could be come an affiliate with Wikisimpsons? ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 09:30, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

Maybe. How many visitors does it get? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 11:09, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

It's highest viewer rating was 29 on February 19th. 172 views all-time. I would say an average of 5 views a day. Being affiliates would help get more viewers. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 11:46, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

But it wouldn't work the other way around, will it? :P Make an article for it and add it to the affiliates page. What's the proper name for the blog then? ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 11:49, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

The name for the blog is "Simpsons Comics News Blog" or just "Simpsons Comics News" I prefer "Simpsons Comics News Blog" though. I'll add it to the affiliates page. ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 11:52, 2 April 2012 (EDT)
