 The wiki was founded by Postbagboy (aka 'Post') on 24 September [[:Category:Founded in 2005|2005]] on the commercial wiki farm [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]].  Post left before he even made a single main-space [[edit]].  Since then, the wiki went through several transformations, getting a new [[:Category:Skins|skin]] in the beginning of 2010, as well as a new team of [[Sysop|admins]].

 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}}.
