On the September 24, 2010, Wikisimpsons had its fifth birthday. In October of that same year, a decision was made to split away from {{tag|Ex-Wikia|Wikia}} for {{tag|ShoutWiki}}. This was due to a new skin released by [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]], and subsequent arguments with the staff. [[Solar Dragon]] became the [[founder]] and [[steward]] of this new wiki.

In June 2011, Wikisimpsons completed its move to {{tag|Ex-Wikia|independence}}. It now runs on {{tag|MediaWiki}} with a nice {{tag|custom skin}}. It has since grown very quickly, now beating its Wikia competitor by over 10,000 articles. This independent wiki is funded by way of {{tag|advertising}} from {{tag|GoogleAds}}.
